Islamic theology is the study and interpretation of Islamic beliefs, teachings, and doctrines. It encompasses a wide range of topics including the nature of God, the prophets, the afterlife, ethics, and religious practices. Islamic theologians draw on the Quran, Hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad), and traditional Islamic scholarship to develop their understanding of these topics. The field of Islamic theology has been shaped by a rich tradition of scholarly debate and interpretation, and continues to be a vibrant area of study within the Islamic world.
