Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a historical and cultural approach to reason according to the meanings of reason in the Islamic world and, by applying the descriptive and analytical method, it demonstrates how the Qur’an and Islamic texts influenced the formation of terminological meanings of reason in Islamic culture. In the first part, the paper presents the meanings reason faced through the Islamic history. These meanings shall be divided according to different criteria. In the second part, bearing in mind a historical-cultural division of the meanings and terms of reason, their relation with other Islamic texts and traditions will be presented. This method will demonstrate which terminological meaning of reason emerged or was given the opportunity to expand under the cultural influence of Islamic texts and which one of these meanings was created under the influence of external or internal factors and was and still is facing the resistance of Islamic texts.
