The paper considers the rationalistic discourse developed as a methodology by Islamic intellectuals of the Middle Ages, which is still relevant today in research aimed at solving the problem of faith and knowledge, science, and religion. The authors believe that the problem of faith and knowledge has been solved as a problem of correlation, an organic complement of two forms of knowledge. Using the example of intellectual trends such as Falsafa, Fiqh, Kalam and Sufism, one can trace the development and spread of rationalism as a methodology of objective logic, in which there is a filiation of logical propositions and the ideas contained in them about the relationship between the concepts of the spiritual and rational spheres. Islamic rationalism was aimed at solving not only problems of a theoretical nature but also to solve problems from the practice of everyday life. In general, Islamic rationalism opened opportunities for a pluralistic interpretation of problems in the religious sphere, the preservation of intellectual reflection, and the promotion of dialogical hermeneutics. In post-normal times, there is an increasing need for critical thinking on global issues, such as the dialogue of religions, the tolerance of interfaith politics, and the formation of a tolerant consciousness in society.
