Abstract

This research addresses the issue of rational anchoring, a topic intricately related to the intellectual biography. Although primarily a foundational subject, it can be applied in various fields beyond its conventional scope. While traditionally studied within the realm of fundamentals and the applications of jurisprudential branches, its utility extends to Islamic discourse and biography. In the context of intellectual biography, three fundamental aspects merit attention: the manifestation of rational consensus on a matter, the tranquility of the soul, and the expansion of the heart, all while avoiding the breakdown of consensus, even with a single individual. The research endeavors to elaborate on these aspects, drawing attention to them and attempting to establish a connection in validating prophecies by examining the biography of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his Household). The Prophet's biography serves as a catalyst for the intellectual consensus on the legitimacy of the Muhammadan message both in pre and post-Islamic era.
