Understanding
'Ilm al-kalam
Controversialness
It was the earliest discourse and many thing were not yet established.
Excessive use of reason by some
mutakallims
Antagonism between
mutakallimun
and traditionist trends.
Unprocessed information on
firaq
(main source of development of theology)
Early development handled by orientalists
Limit of Disagreement in Islam
Mutakallims
were intact with the pillars of faith and general understanding of tenets of 'aqidah in Islam
Best answer for a problem shown in their history
'Aqidah is not only a matter of belief but the most fundamental answers to guide man in all spheres of life
Islam has a bulk of information and has no room for disagreement on them.
Main issues are not to discuss what has been very clear in the Qur'an and the sunnah
History of Problems
Emerged immediately after the deceased of Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h)
Appointment of a successor
Most serious cleavage - murder of 'Uthman (r.a)
Muslims were divided into 3 groups
1st group led by Mu'awiyah
2nd group led by 'Aishah
3rd group led by Ali
Ali played his role in setting peace and finding the assassins, but he failed.
Mu'awiyah has no alternative other than demanding for punishment
'Aishah (r.a) was against Ali for not punishing the assassins and avenging the death of 'Uthman (r.a)
