مبدأ الثنائية في الفكر الإسلامي

Abstract EN

The present study aims at explaining the principle of dualism which is an important principle in the Islamic thought.

Dualism means the duality of the principles which interpret the universe.

The study adopts the statistical approach.

It counts the verses of Quran that refer to dualism.

The study also adopts the analytical approach as it analyzes these principles.

The first and fundamental base for this research is the verses of the Quran so as to avoid ambiguities since there are philosophies and religions that believe in duality, for example, the philosophical school of thought (dualism) which advocates that there is a god of goodness and a god of evil, the Magi which say that the doer of good is called 'Ezdan' and the doer of evil is called 'Ahriman'.

The study deals with the pairs of opposites, e.

g.

the rational vs.

the material; good vs.

evil; beautify vs.

uglify; the rational and the quoted.

The study arrives at some important conclusions as follows.

First, the Holy Quran is an essential source to show the principle of duality in the universe.

Second, dualism is one of the ways showing the oneness of Allah.

Most of the key issues in Islamic thought are of dual nature, e.

g.

existence and pre-existance of Allah; cause and effect; the rational vs.

the material; good vs.

evil; beautify vs.

uglify;
