They blend reason with revelation to explore questions about existence, knowledge, and the nature of God. In this article, we focus on Kalam (Islamic theology) and the philosophical traditions initiated by Al-Farabi, Avicenna (Ibn Sina), and Averroes (Ibn Rushd). Such studies demonstrate an extensive tradition of rational inquiry within Islamic intellectual history.

Reconciliation between Reason and Revelation Kalam also known as “science speech” emerged out of early theological debates among Muslims over issues such as God’s attributes; and free vs determinism among others. Theologians were trying to find ways in which they could harmonize the truth revealed through Quranic texts (revelation) with what is dictated by human intellects or reasoning powers.
