| Summary: | This paper examines the phenomena of Imitation and Deception in
Islamic philosophy, past and present. The issue of imitation in
Islamic Philosophy has been discussed by many Muslim scholars
and Orientalists. They can be divided into three groups. The first
group consists mostly of western orientalists. These believe that
Muslim Philosophy is nothing more than ancient Greek philosophy
translated into the Arabic Language. For this group, either Muslim
philosophers were not able to produce genuine philosophy or their
thoughts can be traced to Islamic theological doctrines. The second
group believes that Muslim philosophers had made significant
contributions to human thought by adapting ancient Greek philosophy
and forming their own philosophical doctrines, such as the
contributions of al-Kindi, Ibn Sina, al-Farabi, Ibn Rushd and many
others. The third group argues that the so-called Muslim philosophers
do not represent real Islamic Philosophy. For this group, Islamic
philosophy is more appropriately represented by the schools
of Islamic Theology, especially the theology of Ashariat, Maturidiat
and Mu'taziliat. This paper compares the positions of the three
groups of scholars. In addition, it discusses the concept of imitation
or "taqlid," and its implications for modem Islamic thought in
general and for Islamic philosophy in particular. The paper extends
the discussion of the concept of imitation to the phenomenon of deception
in Islamic philosophy. On this point, the positions of the
Asha'riat scholars such as al-Ghazali, Dr. Sulayman Dunia, Dr. Ali
Sami al-Nashar from the traditional Islamic philosophy, together with a consideration of Ibn Rushd's doctrine, are considered in detail. This paper rejects the claim of the Asha'riat scholars that Muslim
Philosophers in general, and Ibn Rushd in particular, used
deception to mislead Muslims. The paper also presents historical,
comparative and analytical arguments to provide evidence that the
phenomena of imitation in Islamic philosophy was not an objective
in itself but rather a method of teaching developed by the Fuqahaa. |
