Tafsir

Tafsir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Tafsir (Arabic: تفسير, Transliteration: Tafsīr, Meaning: interpretation) is the Arabic word for exegesis, usually of the Qur'an. Ta'wīl is a subset of tafsir and refers to assigning a specific meaning, often derived from inspiration or dreams, to some of the allegorical ayaat. An author of tafsir is a mufassir (Arabic: مُفسر‎, mufassir, plural: Arabic: مفسرون‎, mufassirūn)."

Ilm al-Kalam

Ilm al-Kalam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "ʿIlm al-Kalām (Arabic: علم الكلام‎, literally "discourse") is the Islamic philosophical discipline of seeking theological principles through dialectic. Kalām in Islamic practice relates to the discipline of seeking theological knowledge through debate and argument. A scholar of kalām is referred to as a mutakallim (plural mutakallimiin). There are many possible interpretations as to why this discipline was originally called "kalām"; one is that the widest controversy in this discipline has been about whether the Word of God, as revealed in the Qur'an, can be considered part of God's essence and therefore not created, or whether it was made into words in the normal sense of speech, and is therefore created."

Fiqh

Fiqh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Fiqh (Arabic: فقه‎ [fiqh]) is Islamic jurisprudence. Fiqh is an expansion of the code of conduct (Sharia) expounded in the Quran, often supplemented by tradition (Sunnah) and implemented by the rulings and interpretations of Islamic jurists.
Fiqh deals with the observance of rituals, morals and social legislation in Islam. There are four prominent schools (madh'hab) of fiqh within Sunni practice and two within Shi'a practice. A person trained in fiqh is known as a Faqih (plural Fuqaha)."

Hadith

Hadith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "adith (Arabic: حديث‎, /ˈhædɪθ/[1] or /hɑːˈdiːθ/[2]) (plural aḥādīth) in religious use is often translated as 'tradition', meaning a report of the deeds and sayings of Muhammad. Hadiths may originate from other important characters of the earliest years of Islam such as the companions of Muhammad or Shia Imams as well. These reports form the basis of Islamic law, the Quran's interpretation (tafsir), and early Islamic history. Each hadith is composed of two parts, a chain of authorities reporting the hadith (isnad) and the text (mantn)"

Islamic theology

Islamic theology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Islamic theology (Arabic: عقيدة‎, ʿAqīdah, plural Arabic: عقائد‎, ʿaqāʾid) is a branch of Islamic studies describing the beliefs of the Islamic faith. Any religious belief system, or creed, can be considered an example of ʿaqīdah. However, this term has taken a significant technical usage in Islamic history and theology, denoting those matters over which Muslims hold conviction. Literally, the word ʿaqīdah is derived from the triconsonantal root ʿqd (ʿaqada), which means "to tie" or "knot"."
