Religious texts contain many intellectual points that the necessity of extracting and applying them to intellectual rules, urges us to strive to create a companionship between intellectual and religious spaces. Among these, is the rule of impossibility of the infinite regress which is one of the important and practical rules of logic that has an important place in philosophy. In this article, we will first define infinite regress, and after listing its types and conditions, we will present a series of arguments to prove the invalidity of infinite regress. Then, as a final step, through rereading a prophetic narration and a Quran verse, we try to reveal the religious texts' view on the infinite regress. It is clear that the narrative perspective is more explicit about the possibility or impossibility of the rule of infinite regress. Therefore, after examining the narrative and the verse, it seems, from the perspective of religious texts, that we can move beyond the possibility of rule of regress and arrive at impossibility of it.
