Causality is considered one of the major philosophical problems that arose from the earliest stages of human thinking, and which for modern thinking occupies the fore position. It was the source of the interest of philosophers and science in the East and the West. In order to know, what is meant by causation? It is necessary for us first to know the reason in the language, then in the terminology as well as the cause: the two terms were used in one sense, among the philosophers and thinkers who were exposed to the discussion of causation: this corresponds to the reality of what we see from the use of the cause and the cause in one sense by Muslim philosophers: it had a prominent effect in all areas of life And universalism: Accordingly, the research came aiming at the meaning of cause and reason, both linguistically and idiomatically, and then envisaging the historical root of this concept and the many different developments and uses it has obtained in the different subjects of science and their approaches. - The reason was mentioned in the English and French with the word “cause” and in the Latin with the word “cause”. As for the reason in the nudist language, it is the conception and it was called that because it causes attachment to it to a need that would not be reached without it. Not in the name of a cause whose end is attached to the ceiling, and it is an origin indicating length and extension: then it is a means of connection between two ends or two ends: and what indicates the origin of the cause among the Arabs is everything that caused it to reach the desired goal of a rope or a means, or a womb, or a hitch or A path or love.
