The issue of prophethood is one of the most basic principles of religion in the second position of the triple classification of Islamic theology, which is listed as divinity, prophethood and the hereafter. This issue has been on the agenda of scholars of kalām throughout our history of thought. The defence of prophethood, which started against the views of Barāhima, was made against the Dahrīs, naturalist philosophers, and atheists in the following periods. In addition, the problematic approaches of especially ishrāqī philosophers and some extremist mystics to the issue of prophethood in Islamic thought caused the issue to be up to date as a problem of theology. When it came to the period of the New Kalām, efforts to defend the truth of miracles and the issue of prophethood came to the fore against positivist approaches. In this article, Mustafa Fevzi Efendi deals with the issue in terms of mysticism, philosophy and science. It is meaningful that our thinker tries to explain the issue by making use of the scientific developments in his own time and draws attention to the mind and contemplation on scientific developments instead of miracles. In this context, Mustafa Fevzi Efendi, who also emphasizes the helplessness of human beings, states that the issue of prophethood is a matter of faith. As a result, he emphasizes that it is not rational and scientific to try to deny the truth of prophethood.
