In this research, we have shown that the very revolution, in respect of form, basically takes place through “method of synthesis and the correspondence” and, in respect of attitude, will be fulfilled through the ontological level of Kalam. In consequence, standard and common theological views on God’s Unity, Prophecy, Imamate and Resurrection improve on the basis of the esoteric meanings of Shi'ite beliefs.   Ibn Abi- Jumhur Ahsa’i, a prominent thinker of the Shi’ite sage, who was alive until the early era of the Safavid dynasty, can be called “the founder” because of his revolution in the form and method as well as in the theological attitude of Shi'ite Kalam, and since this revolution is fulfilled through illuminative wisdom, he has to be called “the founder of Illuminative Shi'ite Kalam”.
