Abstract: One of the brightest representatives of the Second Eastern Renaissance of the Middle Ages is al-Allāma Saʻd al-Dīn al-Taftāzānī al-Ḥanafī (722-792/1322-1390). He was a scholar in the fields of Arabic grammar (al-naḥw), Arabic morphology (al-ṣarf), eloquence (balāḡa) uṣūl al-fiqh, and furūʻ al-fiqh (ḥanafī, shāfiʿī, and mālikī), logic, ʿaqīdah, ḥadīth, tafsīr, geometry, astronomy, and other similar sciences. In particular, more than fifty works of the allāma on various subjects have been identified.
Saʻd al-Dīn al-Taftāzānī occupies an important place in the development of the teachings of Māturīdī. The work of the scholar in this area can be divided into three categories: writing of books, an analytical summary of the various views of previous scholars on a specific creedal issue, and additional substantiation of the issues on a scientific basis. In particular, these three cases are reflected in the views of the scholar on the topic “īmān” (faith).
Despite this topic being the basis of the creed, the scholar dwelled on it in detail. Indeed, through a comparative analysis of the theological works of Saʻd al-Dīn Taftāzānī and “Kitāb al-Tawḥīd” of Abū Manṣūr al-Māturīdī (243-332/857-944), it is advisable to determine the scholar’s contribution to the development of the teachings of Māturīdī on the topic “īmān”. This article focuses on this topic.
Key words: ḥanafī, māturīdī, ashʻarī, fiqh, īmān (faith), kalām, ʿaqīdah (creed), manṭīq (logic), dalīl (evidence), ijmālī (total), tafṣīlī (detailed), taqlīdī (imitative) and taḥqīqī (investigative).
