Abstract

Reminding function (of innate knowledge) is one of the most important nonindependent
functions of revelation. Prophets and saints of God have employed
different approaches for realizing this function and duty of revelation.
Revealed texts, offering explanatory role (explaining the innate covenant, its
content and characteristics), educational role (teaching religion, prayer and
worship), motivational role (producing developmental modes causing recourse
and necessity), inhibitory role (removing barriers of nature), realize the nonindependent
function of revelation.
