Sunni creed: foundations, renewal and challenges

المؤلفون

الملخص

This paper presents a systematic exposition of the Sunni creed as established by the Ash‘ari and Maturidi scholars, highlighting its balance between revelation and reason, affirmation and transcendence, moderation and intellectual depth. It further discusses the need to renew Sunni kalam in response to modern intellectual and scientific challenges, particularly atheism, materialism, and secular ideologies. The study proposes practical avenues for renewal through the integration of contemporary scientific discoveries, rational reflection, and constructive dialogue. It concludes that genuine renewal in theology must build upon the immutable foundations of the Sunni creed while rearticulating its truths in the language of the modern age.
