====Islam==== In Islam various scholars have varied interpretations of intuition (often termed as {{transliteration|ar|hadas}}, [[Arabic]]: {{lang|ar|حدس}}, "hitting correctly on a mark"), sometimes relating the ability to have intuitive knowledge to [[prophet]]hood. [[Shahab al-Din Yahya ibn Habash Suhrawardi|Siháb al Din-al Suhrawardi]], in his book ''Philosophy Of Illumination'' ({{transliteration|ar|ishraq}}), from following influences of Plato, finds that intuition is knowledge acquired through illumination and is mystical in nature; he also suggests mystical contemplation ({{transliteration|ar|[[mushahada]]}}) to bring about correct judgment.<ref name="Islam1">{{cite book|last1=Lawson|first1=Todd|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Bq9zSbNr8gIC|title=Reason and Inspiration in Islam: Theology, Philosophy and Mysticism in Muslim Thought|date=23 September 2005|publisher=I.B touris co ltd|isbn=1-85043-470-0|location=London|pages=210–225|access-date=26 December 2014}}</ref> Also influenced by Platonic ideas, [[Ibn Sīnā]] (Avicenna) finds the ability to have intuition is a "prophetic capacity" and he describes intuition as knowledge obtained without intentionally acquiring it. He finds that regular knowledge is based on imitation while intuitive knowledge is based on intellectual certitude.<ref name="Islam2">{{cite book|last1=Kalin|first1=Ibrahim|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=H6EGwDLio0QC|title=Knowledge in Later Islamic Philosophy: Mulla Sadra on Existence, Intellect, and Intuition|date=April 2010|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=9780199739585|location=London|pages=155–160|access-date=26 December 2014}}</ref>
