Before the independence of epistemology, logic was responsible for addressing epistemological issues among Muslim thinkers. In the instrumental and normative perspective of Muslim scholars on logic, logic is tasked with defining, determining, and explaining the rules and frameworks for attaining knowledge, evaluating existing epistemologies, and distinguishing science from ignorance. Accordingly, the elucidation of the epistemological views of Muslim thinkers can only be achieved through explaining the epistemological discussions presented by them in logic. One of the Muslim scholars who included epistemological discussions under the topics of logic is Suhrawardi. In his logic of implicatures, he defines knowledge and categorizes and explains its types. In this writing, the epistemological viewpoint of Suhrawardi on propositional knowledge will be extracted from his logical discussions, explained based on contemporary epistemological views, and it will be demonstrated that many of the theories that have been coherently articulated after the independence of epistemology exist within Suhrawardi's logical discussions.
