MU‘TEZİLE DÜŞÜNCE SİSTEMİNDE İNANÇ ESASLARININ BAĞLAMI VE KULLANIM ALAN
CONTEXT AND SCOPE OF THE PRINCIPLES OF THE FAİTH İN MU'TAZİLA SYSTEM OF THOUGHT

Summary/Abstract: Mu'tazilite scholars played an active role in the formation of Islamic theology through the dialectical methods they developed to defend the beliefs of Islam, contributing significantly to the development of Islamic thought. Responding to claims, especially regarding theology and prophethood, of religions such as Judaism, Christianity, Brahmanism, and Zoroastrianism, Mu'tazilite theologians successfully defended Islam by exposing inconsistencies in their beliefs with their methodological theological principles. They also demonstrated the same success against internal Muslim sects such as anthropomorphists, assimilationists, Shi'a, and Murji'ites. Within the scope of this study, information is provided on the principles of usul-i hamse that underlie Mu'tazilite thought within the limits of an article. In the section we refer to as the second chapter, we evaluate the main beliefs of Islam under the headings of divinity, prophethood, and scripture according to Mu'tazilite methodology. Based on qualitative data analysis, our research aims to examine the method of grounding Islamic beliefs according to Mu'tazilite principles by limiting Islamic belief topics within the context of usul-i hamse principles. Our study is significant reflecting the method of Mu’tazilah regarding all the fundamental belief issues.
