Studies on the Quranic teachings about the role of emotions in rational activities and guidance indicate that emotions can play a role in both weakening rationality and guiding individuals through strengthening them. The Quranic approach to the relationship between emotions and certainty and their role in guiding individuals is thought-provoking. Using the descriptive-analytical method, in this article, an attempt is made to examine the teachings of the Holy Quran on the role of emotions in practical rationality and guidance and salvation of humans despite their knowledge and certainty. From the perspective of the Quran, there is no connection between certainty and guidance, and humans may act contrary to their certainty under the influence of various emotions. The power of emotions is great in the view of the Quran. Therefore, to reduce the weakening role of some emotions in rationality and guidance of individuals, the Quran uses the power of emotions and argues that strong emotions that reason creates must accompany knowledge and certainty.
