Abstract
Undoubtedly, the subject of philosophy is being or the absolute being. However, there are diverse perspectives regarding the subject of theology (kalām). Early theologians considered the subject of theology to be "being qua being" and, to distinguish it from the subject of divine knowledge, added the restriction of conformity to religious law. The author of Mawāqif, raised objections against the very notion of the absolute being as the subject, as well as against this restrictive aspect. Similarly, the author of Shawāriq presented a fundamental critique of this restriction. This critique undermines the efficacy of theology. This study seeks to defend the absolute being as the subject of theology and, in alignment with the commentator of Maqāṣid, responds to the objections raised in Mawāqif. However, regarding the restrictive aspect, the study rejects its necessity, affirming instead a complete overlap between theology and divine philosophy in terms of their subject matter. A key conclusion of this research is that philosophy play a supportive rather than oppositional role in deepening theological discussions.
