Abstract

In the book, Kuzey Afrika Kelâmı: Muhammed b. Yûsuf es-Senûsî'nin Kelâm Anlayışı (North African Kalām: Muhammad b. Yūsuf al-Sanūsī's Understanding of Kalām), the author drew attention to the political, social, religious, historical, and cultural structure of North Africa through the works of al-Sanūsī. In the book, the author explains the emergence and development of Ashʻarism in this region. He argues that al-Sanūsī left his mark on that period both with the works he wrote and the students he trained. Thus, according to the author, al-Sanūsī has a significant role in the settlement of Ashʿarism in the region. He emphasizes that al-Sanūsī, who divides the subjects of Kalām into two as divinity and prophecy, bases his system on "the creeds of kalām" due to his mystical inclination and, therefore, greatly influences the people. Al-Sanūsī gives great importance to the intellect in the relationship between the intellect and transmission, which is one of the classical debates in Kalām. At the same time, he stresses the importance of transmission as a source of knowledge in religion by repeating the phrase "the Book, the Sunnah and the consensus of the Salaf." His aim can be summarized as "to reform the people by spreading a true belief and to save them from imitation.". [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
