يحاول هذا البحث أن يناقش مفهوم التجربة الدينية وخصائصها في الفكرين الغربي والإسلامي، حيث سعى الكثير من العلماء والفلاسفة لتوضيح هذا المفهوم. وإن غاية هذه الدراسة أن تعرض جوهر التجربة الدينية عند عالم الرياضيات الأمريكي "جيفري لانغ -1954"، كنموذج لمهتد للإسلام، بعد أن كان مسيحياً "كاثوليكياً"، ثم قضى عشر سنوات في ظلام الإلحاد. إن هذا البحث دراسة تهمُّ المسلمين في عصرنا الحالي (أصليين ومهتدين جُدد)، من خلال عرض جوهر التَّجربة الدِّينيَّة لنموذجٍ حيّ ووضعها تحت المجهر، لنموذج ممن أبصروا النُّور بعقولهم، ولامسوا الحقيقة بأرواحهم، فسطَّروا الصِّراع الدَّاخلي الذي اعتمل في نفوسهم، لينطق اللِّسان بشهادة الإسلام. وقد انتهج هذا البحث المنهج الوصفي التحليلي، من خلال دراسة كتبه وتحليل النصوص التي وصفت تجربته الدينية، سعياً إلى فهم دواعيها وتحليلها ومعرفة خصائصها، لتخرج بحقيقة أن للقرآن مركزية محورية في الإجابة على جميع التساؤلات الإيمانية المتعلقة بالشكوك الدينية.

Abstract
This research attempts to discuss the concept of religious experience and its characteristics in both, Western thought and Islamic thought, where many scientists and philosophers sought to explain this concept. The purpose of this study is to expose the essence of the religious experience of the American mathematician, Jeffrey Lang-1954, as a model for reverting to Islam, after he was a Catholic Christian. Then, he spent ten years in the darkness of atheism. This research is a study of great interest to contemporary Muslims (indigenous and new reverts) by presenting the essence of the religious experience of a living model for those who saw through it the light in their minds, and touched the truth with their lives, and prevailed over their internal conflicts by letting themselves to witness the testimony of Islam. The descriptive and analytical approaches are utilized while studying Jeffrey’s books and the analysis of texts describing his religious experience. This is done to understand and know the reasons behind his religious experience, its analysis and its characteristics as well as to discover the fact that the Qur’an has a pivotal centralization to answer all questions of faith related to religious doubts.
Keywords: Qur’an, religious experience, Islamic perspective, Western perspective, atheism.
