Abstract
The number of the pillars of faith, what they are, and
how they should be understood are related to the conception of ‘the pillars of faith’. The conception
of ‘the pillars of faith’ is, in turn, related to the method employed in the problem of faith and the
solutions offered in this method. Concerning the problem of faith, the hadith school employed
rationalism having a concrete character as a method while the kalam school used rationalism
having an abstract character as a method. The character of the solution offered using a rationalism
having a concrete character as a method becomes concrete while that of the solution offered
employing a rationalism having an abstract character as a method becomes abstract.In other words,
both the hadith school and the kalam school identify and construe the pillars of faith based on the
criteria they establish and the rationalism they employ as a method. Yet, when we attempt at
understanding the Qu’ran in terms of semantics, the Qu’ran does not contain any knowledge related
to the determination and construing of the pillars of faith. In other words, the solutions provided
with respect of the pillars of faith are interpretations. Therefore, any differentiation in this respect
is natural.
