Abstract

Islamic theology is a science which aims to identify the principles of the Islamic faith and defends them in every century. The main elements are shaping this defence is cultural environment of the time and its needs. Changing of these elements requires a change in the method of the defense. Therefore, Islamic theology must be a self-renewing dynamic science in every period. Muslim societies has fallen behind in the 19th century in all areas. This situation has prompted scientists to the idea that the Islamic sciences should be replaced. In this context, various renovation proposals were presented. Contemporary scholar Hassan Hanafi suggests a renovation project for Islamıc theology as well as for other Islamic sciences. His suggestion is based on historical criticism and phenomenological method. In this study, we will delibrate his proposition from every aspect.
