As a worldwide Islamic intellectual, Hassan Hanafi has made a major contribution in Islamic scholarship. Life's journey through which is so valuable. Until now his thoughts shine adorn the world.

Bayani; This al-bayani system appears as a combination of various kinds of rules and procedures for interpreting a discourse. according to al-jabiri the authority of truth lies in revelation or text. The role of reason here is as a device to dissect the truth contained in the text. Furthermore, to gain knowledge from the text, the bayani system takes two paths. First, stick to the text, using Arabic rules such as nahwu and shirof. Secondly hold on to the meaning of the text by using logic or reasoning as a means of analysis.

Irfani; linguistically means knowing. This word is often used in Sufism discourse as a term to indicate a form of intuitive knowledge based on direct disclosure. Therefore, irfani knowledge is not based on text but rather the revelation of the secrets of God's reality.
 Epistemologically Burhani reasoning relies on natural / reality and empirical abilities. In measuring whether or not a burhani method is based on human experience and reason from revelation and text
