Özet
Abstract: The study aims to analyze the forms of reasoning in Islamic sciences through Sayyid Sharīf al-Jurjānī understands of knowledge and the method of qiyās (syllogism). The central problem of the research is how al-Jurjānī establishes the epistemological connection between the traditions of logic and Kalām (Islamic Theology). This study examines al-Jurjānī’s classification of knowledge through the distinction between taṣawwur (conception) and taṣdīq (assent) and evaluates the functional role he attributes to qiyas in the process of progressing from the known to the unknown. Comparisons with figures such as Aristotle, al-Fārābī, and Ibn Sīnā reveal how al-Jurjānī integrates formal logical principles with the search for certain knowledge (yaqīn) to meet the specific needs of Kalām. The study emphasizes that qiyas is not only a theoretical tool but also a methodological basis used to ground metaphysical issues such as the existence of God and the origin of the universe. Therefore, the study examines and presents the reasoning model developed by al-Jurjānī by re-functionalizing the classical logical heritage within the Islamic intellectual tradition.
Keywords: Logic, al-Jurjānī, Qiyās, Nazar, Theory of knowledge.
