Abstract
The reminding function (reminding the innate knowledge) is one of the main functions of revelation. In order to put this function into practice, the divine prophets and God’s saints used various ways, including explication (explaining the innate covenant, is content, and its qualities), education (teaching religion, worshipping, and prayer), motivation (creating existential moods that cause solicitation and compulsion), and prevention (removing the obstacles against innate disposition).
