Mullā Ǧīwan and his Doctrinal Views Regarding the Attributes Of God in his Book Al-Tafsirat Al-Ahmadiyah Fi Bayan Al-Ayat Al-Shar’iyah

Abstract

The divine attributes are among the important doctrinal investigations, which are proof of the servant’s belief in God Almighty and His attributes. That is why I directed my determination to study one of the branches of this topic, so my research came under the title (Mullā Ǧīwan and his Doctrinal Views regarding The Attributes of God in his book AL-TAFSIRAT AL-AHMADIYAH FI BAYAN AL- AYAT AL-SHAR'IYAH).

This topic talks about divine matters that must be believed, such as The Attributes of God in the light of the opinions of the Indian scholar, Mullā Ǧīwan.

This research aims to: introduce Imam Mullā Ǧīwan al-Hanafi’s personality and his scientific efforts, and learn about his life and scientific career. His name, lineage, birth, upbringing and death were introduced, as well as introducing his sheikhs and disciples, then his belief and jurisprudence doctrine, and finally the definition of its effects.

The book that was the focus of the study was also introduced, which is (AL-TAFSIRAT AL-AHMADIYAH FI BAYAN AL-AYAT AL-SHAR'IYAH), so I defined the name of the book and its subject.

Then I presented the opinion of Mullā Ǧīwan and his doctrinal views on The Attributes of God and the evidence on which he was based, and compared them with the opinions of other scholars, and it appeared to me that Mullā Ǧīwan addressed three doctrinal issues related to The Attributes of God, which are the attribute of the face, the attribute of the hand, The description of speech, and I have elaborated on these issues, focusing on the speech of Mullā Ǧīwan.
