Islamic libraries in Islamic universities, IAIN Medan for instance, had been collecting and providing many litaratures and references such as books, magazines, ensiklopaedia, and so on. Those literatures consist of writings and treatises which have already passed and fulfilled the scientific requirements in the perspective of methodology of research. Meanwhile there are some literatures of Islamic libraries which are in the domain of study of religion. This such type of literature with its special characteristic is normative-theologic, doctrinal-dogmatic, metaphysic, and revelation-based. Its scientifical truth is based on its consistence in using references of the holy books and messengers’ statements. This study is intended to find out the principle of reasoning and logic within those two types of literatures; literatures of science and religion. This study indicates that each type of literatures has its own domain.

Therefore, there is no reason to say that study of religion is irrasional, not scientific as well as not empiric.
