Abstract:
Zayn al-Din Ali bin Muhammad bin Yunus al-Nabati al-Bayadi is one of the prominent and notable theologians of the ninth century. He has works in theology (Kalam) and jurisprudence (Fiqh), and among his theological works, the book 'Asrat al-Manjud' enjoys greater importance and fame. The author's critique and analysis of the views of various schools and opinions, along with the extensive use of infallible transmissions (Quran and Hadith) alongside the use of rational proofs, has added to the importance and scientific richness of the book. Since he makes abundant use of rational proofs alongside traditional proofs in this book, but does not make much use of philosophical discussions—neither as a preface nor during the discussions—it can be concluded that he possesses a 'non-philosophical rationalist' approach. In this article, the general lines of the author in explaining and proving theological propositions in this book are examined. Lines such as: the interpretation (ta'wil) of traditions that conflict with reason, the non-authoritativeness of solitary reports (khabar al-wahid) in theological matters, the non-authoritativeness of consensus (ijma') that contradicts the word of the infallible, and the use of natural sciences.
Machine summary:
The Theological Methodology of Allamah Nabati Bayadhi in the book Asrat al-Manjud* * Mohammad Safar Jebraeili * Seyyed Qasem Kiaei Abstract Zayn al-Din Ali bin Muhammad bin Yunus al-Nabati al-Bayadhi is one of the prominent and influential theologians of the ninth century.
Keywords: Nabati Bayadhi, theological method, ta'wil, non-philosophical rationalism, conflict between reason and transmission Personality and Works Zayn al-Din Ali bin Muhammad bin Yunus al-Nabati al-Bayadhi is one of the Imami theologians of the ninth century.
In this chapter, the author, with abundant rational and traditional proofs, devotes himself to proving free will (ikhtiyar), refuting determinism (jabr) and acquisition (kasb), and invalidating the arguments of its proponents.
3. The non-philosophical rational method: Based on this method, rational thinking possesses epistemological and religious validity and independence, and in this regard, it is consistent with the philosophical rational method; however, before starting to discuss matters of belief, it does not examine common philosophical issues—in the way they are commonly found in philosophical books— and in examining theological issues, it also does not pay special attention to the views of philosophers.
Unlike some theologians such as Muhaqqiq Tusi, who present a number of philosophical rules as prerequisites before addressing theological discussions17, Asrat al-Manjud has not adopted such an approach; indeed, philosophy, its rules, and its issues are not very prominent even within the text.
Conclusion Nabati Bayadhi in Asrat al-Manjud is a theologian who draws from both reason (aql) and tradition (naql) in explaining theological issues, but the abundance of his reliance on traditional evidences has placed him in a special position in this regard.
