Philosophical Thought with Sheikh Muhammad Al-Jawad Al-Jazai’ry

Abstract

Many people think that religious schools in Najaf deviate from studying philosophy, or do not pay enough importance in seminary studies for it, but the opposite has been demonstrated. Religious schools have paid great attention to Islamic philosophical intellect, as many religious thinkers have emerged who have researched Islamic philosophy and described their mark in this important field of knowledge. Our evidence is the subject of our research on a religious figure, who studied in religious schools in Najaf at great contemporary philosophers, such as Sheikh Mahdi AlIshtani, and the philosopher Sheikh Abdul Hussein Al-Rashti. Our philosopher, the scholar Muhammad Al-Jawad Al-Jazaery, has researched all topics of philosophical intellect, especially in logic, naturals, and theology. This philosopher was influenced by Ainois philosophical intellect, especially with regard to the study of the soul in terms of its existence and immortality. We ask Allah the Almighty to accept our work, as it is a great fruit of wisdom, {…and whoever is given wisdom has been given much good}
