The philosophy of correct and incorrect and its effect on rationalizing diversity in contemporary doctrinal categorization

Abstract

This research aims to explore how Muslims can overcome sectarian differences and achieve unity despite their varying schools of thought, focusing on the significant issue of "right and wrong" in religious discourse. The study emphasizes the need for a scientific approach to address creedal differences and their societal impact, especially in communities affected by sectarianism. The research suggests that theological discourse (kalām) should be distinct from the Qur'anic creed, which is clear and requires no additional tools for comprehension beyond the Arabic language. It concludes that any scholarly interpretations or contradictions in understanding pertain to theological discourse, not the Qur'anic creed itself, where only one truth exists.
