الملخص EN

The study of religion, its origin and substance have always been the subject of interest to philosophers, theologians, and other scholars.

In this regard, we face a number of different theories, especially in the 19th and 20th centuries, including the views of German theologians such as Rudolf Otto where we find that the essence of religion is not as expressed by Freud that it lies in society and psychological weakness, and not like what Kant and Schlayer Macher who considered that it lies in morality and a sense of trust, but in the view of Otto the essence of religion lies in what he calls "Nominus".

He believes that Numinus has two main features: The first is Awesome, and the second one is the Fascinating, So Nominus can be called the Mysterium tremendum that makes us live in confusion and fear.

Furthermore it is also attractive as it attracts us.

At the same time, he sees this experience as unworkable, because he believes that this "religious experience" should wake up in the human spirit.
