An Introduction to Islamic Rational Theology
Through ʿAllāmah Ibn Humām's
Al-Musāyarah
Many students study kalām today, yet struggle to engage with advanced texts in the subject.
The issue is not intelligence — it is method.
This free orientation gives you a direct experience of the Khairābādī method applied to a discussion from Musāyarah:
The Fourth Principle - that Allah is not a substance subject to dimensionality.
Inside this orientation, you will experience:
Understanding the fouth principle, and the precise definitions of ḥayyiz & makān as understood by the Mutakallimūn and the Falāsifah.
How ʿAllāmah Ibn Humām constructs the evidence for the impossibility of Allah being a jawhar subject to dimensionality, building the proof through concepts such as: ḥarākah, sukūn, and ḥudūth.
How a single mas'alah in al-Musāyarah draws on kalāmī, falsafī, and fiqhī discussions
The Khairābādī method of taqrīr applied line by line to a classical kalām text, showing what it means to study a text rather than simply read one
Some familiarity with Arabic is helpful but not required.
Free Access
Suitable for both those new to kalām and those who have studied it elsewhere.
Reflections from Our Students
“Studying al-Musayarah with Ustadh Mubashir was a truly enlightening experience. His clear and concise explanations made even the most complex concepts of ʿIlm al-kalām accessible.
I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in developing a basic understanding of this important subject.”
