Among the three traditional religious language in Stiver's claims on religious language, Fakhr Razi's approach can be found in the negative method one, because his view in the field of affirmation and knowledge of the divine essence and semantics of some names, qualities and divine acts is based on negative method. One of the negative approach components to religious language is ineffability, this issue is visible in Razi's approach where, in the area of theology and semantics of some names and divine qualities such as implicit names of Allah, qoddus name, seeing God, the hearing and seeing and some of divine acts, he emphasizes mystical method and Quran 's way. Therefore, in this realm, the human reason is not able to understand some of the divine secrets; even if some apprehensions are achieved through endeavor and revelation, language is not able to express and describe them. In this article we will attempt to explain the positions of Fakhr-e-Razi in the field, with an emphasis on epistemological and linguistic foundations.
