Mulla Sadra's view of the category of faith is an epistemological view arising from science and knowledge. When Mulla Sadra deals with the nature of faith, he assumes it as one of the functions of theoretical reason. The nature of faith in his words is a scientific and affirmative nature, and since faith, like existence, is a gradational truth, it establishes a relationship with other cognitive areas. In a philosophical and demonstrative statement, he emphasizes the cognitive state of faith, believes in the human soul dependence on faith and in realization of the form of human essence and its transformation from potential to actuality solely with knowledge. Therefore, faith is also a type of knowledge that, with its growth and cognitive richness, causes the existential transformation of man. This article seeks to study the issue of how the category of faith is related to various cognitive areas using an explanatory and analytical method. The result of this research, in addition to explaining the relationship between faith and various epistemological categories, is an understanding of the nature of faith with a rational perspective that has a novel perspective in philosophical thoughts: Keywords: Mullasadra, Faith, Ethics, Action, Knowledge, Divine Love.
