Kalam

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kalām (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Lang/data/is latn data' not found., literally "speech" or "words")[1] is the Islamic discipline of seeking theological knowledge through dialectic (debate and argument). It also promotes prudence and logical reasoning. A practitioner of kalām is called a mutakallim (plural mutakallimiin).
