This article pursues two main goals. First, a concise description of the concept of quantity from both philosophical and scientific perspectives with the aim of establishing a scientific relationship and semantic connection between them. And second, to propose a modification of the philosophical concept in such a way that it is both compatible with its scientific concept and finds the ability to describe quantitative facts from a rational and philosophical perspective. Explanation of this meaning is the article innovationThis article emphasizes that the concept of "quantity", like many common philosophical and scientific concepts, must be analyzed with a new perspective. This meaning is rooted in the fact that many of the concepts contained in Islamic natural philosophy have not been influenced by the profound changes in the natural sciences. In this article it is shown that the initial definition of philosophers of quantity is accurate and it can be used for the general definition of quantity in new empirical knowledge, but its description and division must be corrected and completed.
