Abstract

This article has an external view of Islamic-Shia theology which theology and its issues are analyzed in general and from the perspective of an external judge. Shia theology is a science that explains religious doctrines, compiles and answers its doubts with its own sources (Qur'an, Prophetic and guarding )walvi (sunnah, reason). Its subject was general and it includes all religious doctrines, the criterion of which is mostly its return to God's existence, attributes, and actions (whether verbal or generative). First of all, this article refers to the origin of the Shia religion from the beginning of the call to Islam, with regard to the hadith of al-Dar, which the imams have also continued on this matter hen, while defending the religious teachings of Islam, the foundations and special teachings of Shiism (principles of the Imams) have been defended. Shi'ite theology explains religious doctrines with a combined method (narrative, rational, dialectician, experimental, intuitive and natural) and by referring to numerous theological rules. The relationship between Shiite theology and various sciences (logic, epistemology, philosophy, principles of jurisprudence, jurisprudence, experimental sciences) is a mutual relationship (effect and impression). The present article, while expressing the epistemological identity of the Shiite word, deals with its position, logical structure, explanation of classical and new issues, and explanation of its prerequisite, co-requisite and post-requisite areas.
