Religious knowledge enables humans to attain a deeper understanding of religious concepts, the meaning of life, and the relationship with the Creator and creatures, ultimately leading to human happiness and perfection. Religious thinkers have always strived to achieve the best and most accurate understanding of religion, using various methods for this purpose. Allameh Tabataba'i, as one of the prominent figures in religious thought, has made significant efforts to achieve a correct understanding of religion and to transfer the methods of religious knowledge. This descriptive-analytical study, through research in the works of Allameh Tabataba'i, attempts to enumerate and present the most important strategies of this distinguished scholar in advancing specialized religious studies; strategies such as the originality of truth, rationality, interpretation, application, differentiation, adherence to methodology, conventionalities, religious community, and ethical living. These strategies provide a suitable foundation for researchers and specialists in religious studies to achieve a deeper understanding of religion and present a religious knowledge closer to reality. The results of this study show that the use of the mentioned strategies plays an important role in shaping Allameh Tabataba'i's social opinions and can serve as a model for contemporary religious research.
