تأثر المسلمين الباحثين في علم الأديان بالغربيين القائلين بمبدأ التطور في عقيدة التوحيد

Abstract EN

This study aims to find out the reasons for the influence of thinkers in the Islamic world, including some researchers in the field of theology, and their adoption of the western positivist vision on the origin of man and the history of the emergence of humanity.

where the idea appears that the first man was primitive and barbaric and did not know anything, and it appears that he does not know his creator, nor does he have a vision about the universe.

and that his life, thought, knowledge and religion all went through stages of growth and development.

accordingly, man developed his idea about the reality of divinity, so it moved from superstition and paganism, then the multiplicity of gods, leading to monotheism in divinity.

this study concluded that the fascination with Western studies, and what appears in them of effort and sobriety, scientific and accurate methodology, made some researchers in our Islamic world, affected by the results reached, and considered what was written there as reliable sources, although some of them were criticizing others and perhaps contradicting them.

all of this makes us stress the necessity of adhering to the qur’anic vision and bias towards it, in various studies, both with regard to the history of mankind, its origin, and the history of religions, and in other human and social studies.
