Religious experience found in the Qur’Énic verses reveals and reflects Allah’s Wisdom towards the communication of Islamic Creed and values that serve to guide humanity to the Straight Path.

Besides, this article has discussed the genesis of religious experience and its universality; the main factors that help to understand the religious experience, i.e., religious conviction or faith and religious language; religious experience according to the context of the Qur’Énic verses, i.e., the religious experience of Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.), and the religious experience of MËsÉ (p.b.u.h.), etc. This paper has concluded that the understanding of the concept of religious experience will help to enhance Muslims’ way of understanding of their Conviction in particular, and non-Muslims’ understanding of this phenomenon in general.
