Abstract
Different approaches have been proposed in Islamic humanities and especially in religious social science. The problem-based approach, which follows the more general inferential approach, has been considered for about a century and a half, but no serious, independent theoretical discussions have been made about it. The current paper seeks to introduce and explain this approach using a rational analytical method and in some cases by the meta-analysis of the works which is related to this approach. The findings suggest that this pragmatic approach, which seeks to understand the objective or theoretical social problems existing in Islamic society, can create a new space in social science by using the general method of speech in understanding religious texts and by developing conventional methods in religious sciences and then quickly meet some of the needs that have been posed.
