Abstract

Enlightenment is a moment of brilliance, through which the mind is able to achieve achievement for its own benefit, and for others to benefit from it.                                               

So, enlightenment began and existed, and it was not a philosophy, and this is our  bottom line.                                                                                                                                    

Enlightenment is the opposite of darkness, backwardness, and ignorance. Rather, it is a synonym for awareness and progress, moreover, enlightenment is founded on the concept of light, which has a close relationship with the mind and its tools. We consider the term progress and its process in the development of human life to be one of the outcomes of         

enlightenment.                                                                                                                    

The term progress and its process in the development of human life is considered to be one   of the outcomes of enlightenment. The enlightenment was not against religions, nor will it be. For individual and sectarian paths, they were not, and will not be, a criterion for the purpose of rational enlightenment, thus, Flankait is not holding us back, nor enlightenment philosophers are our only and absolute criterion for          . explaining what is enlightenment.
