Abstract
) Sheikh Mawlawi’s approach and his doctrinal views on the divine attributes through his system “The fazele”)
Sheikh Abdul Rahim Al-Mawlawi, a knowledgeable scholar. He excelled in various fields of knowledge including principles, branches, Sufism, literature, and more, we will talk about a topic among his rich knowledge which is:(a comprehensive approach to theology regarding divine attributes through his poetic system "Al-Fadilah")
His teachings were aligned with the Sunni creed and particularly the Ash'ari theological school, as explicitly stated in his poetic system.
The discussion on divine attributes in the Sheikh's works is structured into an introduction and three main sections:
Introduction: It emphasizes the importance of knowing what is obligatory, impossible, and possible concerning the Almighty. It defines these terms and lays the groundwork for further discussion.
First Section: It discusses some of the obligatory attributes of God, including His essence, negation, meanings, and moral attributes. It also addresses discussions and interpretations surrounding these attributes according to Sheikh Al-Mawlawi's views.
Second Section: It addresses what is impossible concerning God, emphasizing His transcendence from deficiencies and imperfections. It delves into what contradicts the obligatory attributes, such as non-existence, origination, annihilation, and any comparison with created beings. The Sheikh's arguments are supported by textual and rational evidence.
Third and Final Section: It explores what is possible concerning God, which includes His ability to do anything possible or refrain from it.
The conclusion sums up the discussion and findings, hoping that this effort will contribute to the service of knowledge and faith.
May Allah facilitate our steps towards goodness, and may this endeavor be a key to serving knowledge and faith.
