İslam Metafiziği Fi̇lozofun Akai̇di̇ Amentüyü Yeniden Anlamak

<jats:p>Islamic Metaphysics: The Philosophers Creed Reinterpreting the Articles of Faith. This work aims to reassess the fundamental principles of Islamic creed (ʿaqīdah) beyond the confines of the classical kalām framework by situating them within the metaphysical interpretations developed by Muslim philosophers. The central question of the study concerns the ontological and metaphysical foundations upon which Islamic doctrines of faith have been interpreted throughout history and the intellectual possibilities these interpretations offer to contemporary humanity. In this respect, the principles of faith are examined not merely as religious doctrines but also as metaphysical principles intimately related to questions of being, knowledge, and meaning. Drawing upon scriptural and Quranic foundations, the study investigates the philosophical underpinnings of the principal articles of faith—belief in God, angels, revealed scriptures, prophets, the Hereafter, and divine decree—through the perspectives of Al- Fārābī, Ibn Sīnā (Avicenna), and Al-Ghazālī. Particular attention is devoted to the concepts of divine unity, oneness, and transcendence, which are analyzed in relation to the notions of the Necessary Existent, unity (waḥda), absolute oneness (aḥadiyya), and causality. In this context, the traditions of kalām, Sufism, and philosophy are comparatively examined in order to reveal both their convergences and divergences concerning the metaphysical interpretation of faith. The second part of the work explores the influence of Islamic metaphysics on the civilization it produced throughout history, focusing on its contributions to ethical thought, knowledge production, and the formation of social institutions. By doing so, the study demonstrates that metaphysical principles generate not only theoretical frameworks but also practical and civilizationbuilding consequences. In conclusion, the book argues that Islamic creed should not be understood as a static and ahistorical system of belief; rather, it should be regarded as a dynamic metaphysical framework that remains open to interpretation and capable of addressing the intellectual and existential challenges of the modern world. In this regard, the study offers a significant contribution to contemporary discussions concerning the relationship between creed, philosophy, and civilization in Islamic thought.
