Abstract

Avicenna is renowned as a rational philosopher, often regarded as the leader of peripatetic scholars. In addition to his philosophical acclaim, he was a skilled physician. Moreover, he held noteworthy views in mysticism and theology. This research aims to delve into his theological perspectives using a descriptive-analytical approach, which involves investigating his writings and the views of his contemporaries. It becomes evident that Avicenna’s extensive body of work, his reputation as a peripatetic philosopher, and his strongly rationalistic approach, which extends beyond the confines of religion, pose challenges when examining his inter-religious and theological views. Despite his unwavering commitment to his philosophical methodology and propositions, Avicenna did adopt certain conspicuous theological positions and religious approaches that extend beyond his philosophical thinking. This research seeks to explore the various dimensions of these theological and religious views comprehensively. It approaches Avicenna as a devoted Muslim philosopher, shedding light on this intriguing aspect of his intellectual legacy.
