Abstract
The theory of " constructional perceptions" constitutes a fundamental aspect of Allameh Tabataba'i's thought; however, its independent role within his theological framework has received comparatively limited scholarly attention. The research question examines the role that these credentials play in elucidating the structure of religion, religious rulings, and religious behavior. The objective of this article is to examine perceptions of credibility as a methodological foundation for understanding religion and its relationship with central religious concepts, including obligation and sanctity, legislation, social justice, religious language, and worshipful behavior. The research method employed is descriptive-analytical, utilizing a documentary analysis of Allameh's works. The findings indicate that, from Allameh's perspective, credit perceptions are not merely conventional concepts; rather, they serve as purposeful tools for conveying formative truths that shape human behavior. Shari'at, with its obligations, prohibitions, principles of justice, acts of worship, and religious language, finds its meaning and purpose within the context of these credentials. The conclusion of this research is that credit perceptions constitute the methodological foundation of Allameh's theology, and their analysis necessitates a comprehensive understanding of Sharia, ethics, and social justice. This theory has the potential to offer a comprehensive framework for analyzing the role of religion in both individual and social contexts.
