Abstract

There is no doubt that Islamic philosophy has been influenced by the philosophies that have preceded it and has arisen in the light of that currents that were with a long history in establishing Islamic philosophical thought or even in clarifying philosophical thought prior to Islamic philosophy has been initiated by the scholars of  Islam and  its elders to confront philosophy and invest and translate and reconcile it with the Islamic religion values and these scientists philosophers  according to the expression of Sharif Murtada they are Al-Kindi, Al-Farabi, his theory of the flood, Ibn Sina and many others.

Mr. Al-Murtada is considered one of the scholars of  Islamic thought and  one of  the mayors of the fourth century AH and he did not research whether he had philosophical opinions and  only searched for him the  jurisprudential and theological opinions Then it is clear that  he mentioned that Mr. Al-Murtada studied in Baghdad and his teacher Sheikh Al-Mufid was a speaker, a modernist and a jurist, Has contemporaneous a group of philosophers such as Ibn Sina and Abu Ala Maari and many others, there is no doubt that the intellectual overlap in its time leads to the mixing of ideas between give and take and repel and reply, especially that the fourth century AH is one of the eras with intellectual tender and various theories that were problematic or met acceptance and rejection between a supporter and a supporter.

Hence, the research aims to answer the following question:

Q: Did Sharif al-Murtada have a philosophical tendency in addition to his jurisprudential and theological views?

To answer this question, it is necessary to carefully examine what has reached us from the opinions and ideas of Sharif Al-Murtada in jurisprudence and in speech and literature, and there is no doubt that theology is one of the daughters of philosophical sciences, but most of its inferences and methodological contexts are purely philosophy, so it is a way to reach the philosophical views he has using a comparative analytical and descriptive approach between his views and the views of the ancient philosophers on the one hand and between his opinions and the opinions of the philosophers who came after him.
