The Usage of Reason to Inference the Kalami Teachings from the Viewpoint of Fadel al-Meqdad

Methodical study of Kalam (Islamic theology) is one of the needed discussions in the nowadays scholarly society that was not yet considered sufficiently. The Imami theologians had used the two rational and narrative methods to inference the religious teachings and to defend them. With an analytic approach to the Kalami works of Fadel al-Meqdad, this article examines the question that what usages of reason he had used to inference the Kalami teachings. Fadel al-Meqdad used reason both as a source and as a means serving narrations. The most usable method in theoretical reason in inference of teachings is to discover the implications, and in practical reason, is the rational good and evil (al-husn wal-qubh al-'aqlian). By using the methods of description and granting authenticity to narration, Fadel al-Meqdad uses the inferential function of reason in the realm of narration as well as answering the misgivings.
