Abstract:

The “new science of theology” is an attempt to exert ijtihad in the science of theology today, just as the founders of the theological sects exerted ijtihad in the past, so they recorded their perceptions and concepts of the principles of religion derived from the rationality, sciences and knowledge of their era. So why is it not permissible for the scholars of Islam in our era to exert ijtihad to produce their perceptions of monotheism and beliefs? It is not without surprise, because today we are facing an insistence on closing the door of ijtihad in jurisprudence and not departing from the fatwas of the imams of the schools of thought and the jurists of yesterday, since someone who denies ijtihad in the branches of religion, how can he accept ijtihad in the fundamentals of religion when it is more far-reaching and deeper than that? He seeks to shake off the sediments of stagnation from the shoulders of ancient knowledge, to move towards the future, so that a responsible generation can rise up to see a new vision that arms it with a new position that makes it qualified to merge with the cultural reality to pave its way to the future, and calls for purifying the thought and conscience of the nation from all superstitions, emphasizing the role of reason and science with their importance, because they constitute an important and primary tributary in life.
