The Evidence of Instinct in Proving Religious Beliefs - The Ash'arite School as an Example

Abstract

summary This study deals with the subject of methods of inference and exactly the evidence of instinct in proving religious beliefs in theology, I chose to work on a specific model is the Ash'ari school, due to the difference between School-goers in this matter are between proven and exiled. We also dealt with the position of the Ash'aris from the guide of instinct, trying as much as possible to extract their opinions about this guide by tracking the most prominent pioneers of the school and the extent to which they confirm or deny the validity of this guide in determining religious beliefs, and the extent of its effectiveness in facing today's challenges. We concluded that this evidence "the evidence of instinct" cannot be inferred from God Almighty neither in terms of His existence nor in terms of His oneness, because man is born and has no knowledge with Him.
