The intuitive approach between legitimacy and rejection among Muslim scholars

Abstract

The study of cognitive methods in the past and present and in all civilizations is a fundamental pillar of scientific advancement and civilizational progress. For their part, the Muslim Arabs have taken an interest in this field and made their contribution to it. Indeed, they have been extremely creative in it. They have presented to humanity wonderful images of nurturing, paying attention to, and developing the sciences and arts. To serve subsequent generations. On the one hand, the intuitive approach suffered from noticeable neglect in civilizations preceding the Arab-Islamic civilization, especially in the Greek and Roman civilizations. This is exactly what Islamic thought worked to address, driven by the Qur’anic legitimacy that mentioned the intuitive approach and placed it in the prestigious position it deserves. All Islamic cognitive activities, represented by philosophers, theologians, jurists, and various scholars from all scientific fields, participated in this interest.
