Islamic Rationalism is a philosophical approach that emphasizes reason and logic in understanding faith and the universe. It emerged during the Islamic Golden Age, where scholars like Al-Farabi and Ibn Rushd sought to reconcile Islamic teachings with Aristotelian philosophy. This movement encouraged critical thinking and the use of rational arguments to explore religious and ethical questions. The core belief of Islamic Rationalism is that human reason can lead to knowledge of both the natural world and divine truths. Proponents argue that faith and reason are not mutually exclusive but can complement each other, fostering a deeper understanding of Islam and its principles.
