Attaining knowledge on God, acqusitively or emanatively

Branches of knowledge are evaluated based upon their subjects; the knowledge of God, therefore, has been known the most valuable knowledge. How does the knowledge arise for man? This question has been one of the most significant ones. Justifying it, scholars have used different expressions; some has viewed it as Divinely emanated knowledge, not being acquisitive. They know acquisitive knowledge of God to be fruitless and in vain. Some other have known it to be a necessary duty for man to try much to get some degree of the knowledge of God. In the paper, some efforts have been made to prove the essential part of reason in this field. And finally the opposite view has been viewed critically.
