This paper seeks to prove that divine prophets, especially prophet Idris, are the first to address rational and discursive discussions about the realities of the universe. It shows that the prophets are the main origin of rational and philosophical thinking, and that some philosophy historians introduce Thales Ionia and, therefore, Greek philosophers as the origin of rational and philosophical thinking are not true. The research method is descriptive -explanatory. In this study, we first discuss the statements and views of Muslim scholars and philosophers in this field. After that, we state the verses and narrations that can support this view. Finally, we examine the viewpoints of some western historians and philosophers about the origin of philosophy, some of whom have fairly accepted that philosophy has its origin in the East. The aims of the paper are to answer some of the Muslim critics of philosophy, who opposed philosophy due to its Greek and non-Islamic origin, and to appropriately respond to some western philosophers who denied the existence of intellectual and philosophical discussions before the Greeks.
