N2  - The problem of knowledge and description of reality in language is among the most significant problems of epistemology in general and philosophy of science in particular. In this article, the question of whether it is possible to accurately depict reality through language has been discussed through the studies of Şakir Kocabaş, who made a rigorous and profound analysis concerning engineering, applied sciences, logic, artificial intelligence, and philosophy of science. For both understanding and truly solving the problems encountered within philosophy-science, Kocabaş first pointed out the necessity of Grammatical Distinctions of the Statements. He asserted reality, which could not be described accurately and consistently up to today within both the Western tradition and Islamic thought of the post-translation movement, might be described accurately only by means of a powerful and true conceptual framework. To accomplish this task he attempted to investigate the concepts in the Qur’an, which he regarded as the unique source of powerful and true language. In this article the scientific approach Kocabaş tried to develop and his overall judgments on both Western and Islamic traditions are critically examined. The project Kocabaş classified and analyzed was in three steps: his warnings about grammatical distinctions characterized as obligatory, his efforts to reconcile between physics and reality as possible, and finally his inquiry into science relying upon the concepts of the Qur’an as impossible.
