Abstract:
Prophetism is a fundamental issue in Islamic religion. In speculative theology, this institution was elaborated through debates with the negators of Muhammad's mission. Among them, Islamic philosophers had elaborated their prophetology in continuity with their Greek ancestor's political philosophy and noetics. Even thought they did not deny obviously prophetism, their conceptions were not in accordance with the Islamic dogma. As the prophet, according to them, is only useful to talk to the ignorant multitude, whereas philosophers have other paths to obtain happiness, hence, they are not in need to follow the prophet's message. This conception has provoked very fierce reaction among the theologians. In this thesis, we draw the light upon this polemics through the hanbali theologian Taqî al-Dîn Ahmad Ibn Taymiyya's (d. 1328) writings. This theologian is known for being an authority in contemporary Islamic streams. Our aim is to show that the critic of philosopher's prophetology is fundamental in Ibn Taymiyya's writings.
