Fakhr al-Din al-Razi on Divine Transcendence and Anthropomorphism : A Refutation against the Literalists

Mohd. Farid Mohd. Shahran

4.9/5 (13246 ratings)

Description:As a religion which upholds divine transcendence as its fundamental element in arriving at divine knowledge, Islam is against any attempt to liken God with the characteristics of others particularly humans. The strong disavowal of anthropomorphism shown by Muslim theologians (the mutakallimin) especially that against anthropomorphism brought by certain marginal schismatic sects throughout the history of Islamic thought has proved this uncompromising stance. This work analyses the refutations of one of the important later Ash'arite mutakallimin, Fakhr al-Din al-Razi (1149-1209) against the literal views of the anthropomorphists who invested God with various anthropomorphic qualities. Since anthropomorphism also springs from the false understanding of the ambiguous verses of the Qur'an, this work examines al-Razi's views of muhkamat and mutashabihat and the role of ta'wil (allegorical interpretation) as the appropriate device in understanding the meaning of those ambiguous verses.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
