Human acts according to İbrahim al-Kūrānī -within the context of the epistel titled al-Maslak al-Sadād-

Kalām was in interaction with the theoretical sciences especially, philosophy and logic in the post-classical period. Kalām scholars' reserved and critical stance of wahdat al-wujūd which was developed by Muhyiddīn ibn al-Arabī and his followers softened after the sixteenth century. Especially the attitude of Dawwānī which combined wahdat al-wujūd with kalām has influenced the later periods. Ibrāhīm al- Kūrānī, who has improved this approach of Dawwānī, tried to reconcile these two traditions by claiming that the problems of kalam can be explained in accordance with the world imagination of unity of being (wahdat al-wujūd). One of his most important works in which his attitude has become apparent is the treatise Maslak assadād. In the pre-modern period, the treatise Maslak as-sadād is an important example of the method and discussions of the kalām in the seventeeth century and in this thesis I will be show the relationship between theology and sufism in that treatise. In the first part of the thesis, which is divided into three sections, the introduction of the historical context of the subjects discussed in the treatise Maslak as-sadād and first section of the paper is presented a general framework of the intellectual life of the period of Kūrānī's life. In the second part of the thesis inculedes the idea of tawhīd (monotheism) and created world, which is the intellectual basis of the issues that Kūrānī used to discuss and explain the human acts. However, due to the explanations of Kūrānī according to the world imagination of unity of being, this section outlines the divine attributes' connection with possible existents. Thus, it was tried to find out at what points the two schools which Kūrānī tried to reconcile. In the last part of the thesis, divine power and created power which is effective in the occurrence of human actions are discussed. In this last chapter has been pointed out the eclectic attitude that Kūrānī tried to reconcile kalām and unity of being tradition according to the term "power that is not independent and influences by Allah's permission". In this section, the relationship between the opinion of Kūrānī's state of power and the evidence of human prosperity and, the opinions of when the responsibility of human beings started has been explained.
