Theology is one of the most important Islamic sciences. It emerged at the end of the first century and the beginning of the second century AH (1950-1960 CE) under dire circumstances. It served as a prominent bulwark against corrupt doubts and false beliefs. It represents a victory for the religion of God Almighty, and God Almighty supports those who support Him. God Almighty says, "And God will surely support those who support Him."
Muslims began practicing reasoning and deduction based on rational evidence, based on a clear and correct understanding of the transmitted evidence.
It has become one of the most important rational sciences for defending the Islamic faith and clarifying it in a rational and logical manner acceptable to all.
