Ilahiyat is a field of study that focuses on theology, particularly within the context of Islam. It explores the nature of the divine, the attributes of Allah, and the principles of faith. Scholars in this discipline analyze religious texts, such as the Quran and Hadith, to understand and interpret the beliefs and practices of Muslims.
In addition to studying the divine, Ilahiyat also examines the relationship between humanity and the divine, ethics, and the role of religion in society. This field is essential for training religious leaders, such as imams, and for fostering a deeper understanding of Islamic teachings among followers.
