This study used qualitative research methodology. The result of the study is Mullâ Shadrâ system is different from the emphasis on specific aspects of "rationality" as it is now does not mean that its founder understands it as "irrational" nor is it given to "mystical experience". But the system emphasizes a world view that intuitive vision is an inseparable part of knowledge. With this method, knowledge or wisdom is obtained not only that is generated by the power of reason but also through spiritual enlightenment, and all of that is then presented in rational form using rational arguments. For Mullâ Shadrâ, knowledge or wisdom is not only to enlighten cognition but also realization; change the form of the recipient of enlightenment itself and realize the knowledge gained so that the transformation of form occurs. All that cannot be achieved except by following the Shari'a, so a thought must hook the infant method in its system. Keywods: transcendental; epistemology; muta'aliyah; mulla sadra I. Introduction Epistemology or scientific theory is a very vital study in human civilization, because it discusses a very fundamental aspect of human life, namely science. Epistemology examines philosophically the origin, structure, methods, validity and purpose of science. He explained the so-called truth and criteria and explained ways that could help obtain that truth. Epistemology has a fairly central place in the building of philosophy of science, so that epistemology has attracted the attention of thinkers both in the West and in the building of modern Islamic thought. The dynamics of epistemology in religious thought in the Islamic world have been going on since the classical period (650-1250), the middle period (1250-1800) and the modern period (1800-present). The period of the development of modern thought as the third period is seen as the period of the revival of Muslims after sinking during the middle Ages. However, the presence of modernism has led to diverse responses and led to tensions among Muslims. With the modernization in all fields in several countries, like Egypt entering the liberal age (liberal age). The understanding of liberalism blossomed which resulted in the emergence of a number of ideas about the separation between religion, culture and politics. With the development of liberative understanding in Egypt, what was called an-nahdah (renaissance) was born, which then gave birth to several trends of thought: (1) This trend of thinking towards traditionalism is called The Islamic Trend (tendency towards Islam). This view began with the teachings of Ibn Hanbal who experienced the ultimate success through Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab (1703-1992). (2) The Syntetic and The Rational Scientific and Liberal Trend (a rational synthesis of scientific and free thinking), a group that seeks to integrate Islam and Western culture. This group was represented by Qâsim Amîn (1865-1908), and ‘Ali‘ Abd. ar-Ra'qq (1888- 1966), Tâha Husein (1883-1973), Lutfî as-Sayyid (1872-1972), Zakî Najîb Mahmûd (1905-1993), Salamah Mûsa, Farag Fawdah, Fu'ad Zakariya, Hassan Hanafî (1875-1972)
