Title: | Theological thoughts of Abu Ishaq al- Shirazi with special reference to Kitab al-Isharah Ila Madhhab ahl al-Haqq | Authors: | E.M., Mohammed Suhail | Subject: | God (Islam) - Philosophy Islam - Doctrines - Early works to 1800 |
Year: | 2012 | Publisher: | Kuala Lumpur : Kulliyyah of Islamic Revealed Knowledge and Human Sciences, International Islamic University Malaysia, 2012 | Abstract in English: | This research studies the theological thoughts of Abu Ishaq al-Shirazi, a prominent scholar of the fifth century hijri, with special reference to his work in this field, namely, Kitab al-Isharah ila Madhab ahl al-Haqq. In order to make a critical analysis of his thoughts, the researcher selects some key issues of Kitab al-Isharah, such as, the first obligation of the mukallaf, the Existence of Allah, His attributes, the relation of the attributes with the essence of Allah, and the anthropomorphic verses and traditions. The study reveals that al-Shirazi does not hold any odd or pioneer views in theology. All the views he expresses in Kitab al-Isharah are in conformity with the views of the early generation of the Ash‘arite theology. There is a misunderstanding between some scholars as to whether al-Shirazi is an adherent of the Salafism or Ash‘arism. The study gives due consideration regarding this issue and eventually arrives at a conclusion that he is an ardent follower of the Ash‘arite school based on his two works in Theology, namely Kitab al-Isharah and ‘Aqidat al-Salaf which clearly assert this point. The fatwas he issued to explain his stand on Ash‘arism also confirms his allegiance to the Ash‘arite School. | Degree Level: | Master | Call Number: | t BP 80.S593 E53T 2012 | Kullliyah: | Kulliyyah of Islamic Revealed Knowledge and Human Sciences | Programme: | Master of Islamic Revealed Knowledge and Heritage (Usul al-Din and Comparative Religion) | URI: | http://studentrepo.iium.edu.my/jspui/handle/123456789/7202 |
