The article describes the concept of combining knowledge and trust of the great cardinal commentator Ibn Rush. The scholar did not immediately begin to logically prove his concept of "dual truth" (knowledge and faith), but preferred to rely on the Qur'an and the hadith from the point of view of his opponents. According to Ibn Rush, philosophy (knowledge) encourages a person to think, study and acquire knowledge based on reality. The mind of an educated person is perfected, he knows God better by nature. Similarly, religion encourages people to look around, to meditate, and to study what they see. Thus, religion does not deny science, it approves of it, and even considers it necessary to acquire knowledge if necessary. If the cardinal thinker really calls for the truth to be found in religion, then evidence-based research will not lead to a negative decision. The conclusions of philosophy do not contradict the law of the Shari'a. This is because the truth does not contradict the truth, on the contrary, it argues that the former helps the latter as evidence. In addition, what should be the relationship between religion and philosophy in the authors’ article? Al-Farabi and Ibn Sina, who sought answers to this question, sought to present the findings of medieval Muslim thinkers on a comparative basis.
