Abstract: (4 Views) |
| This research aims to analyze the fundamental relationship between Shia and Sunni Islam in their engagement with Islamic sects and to elucidate the pivotal role of Qadi Shushtari in the broader Islamic world, particularly within Islamic India. Transcending sectarian biases, he established a convergence-oriented school of thought with an effective discourse for fostering Islamic unity. The central research question is: Within what behavioral frameworks was Qadi Shushtari able to neutralize the conspiracies of adversaries through his astute stances? The research methodology is descriptive-analytical. Based on this approach, by supporting all Muslims and emphasizing the jurisprudence of Islam with a spirit of tolerance and accommodation, and drawing upon theological and exegetical works, the foundations for creating convergence and a constructive, evidence-based Islamic discourse were analyzed and organized. The findings indicate that Qadi Shushtari articulated a path of peaceful coexistence, thereby imbuing the bond between Shia and Sunni with meaning. He addressed fundamental Muslim rights, such as freedom of belief and expression, which serve as the basis for some debates surrounding inter-sectarian convergence. Furthermore, an examination of his perspectives reveals that he utilized his intellectual capacity to its fullest extent in promoting unity and convergence among Islamic schools of thought. |
