Abstract
Within the framework of seeking the renewal of the Ash‘arite Kalām (theology) and the context of understanding the human tendency to believe and establish faith, this paper aims at studying the presence of man within the contemporary Ash‘arite theology. It focuses on one of its most prominent contemporary pioneers, Muhammad Sa‘id Ramadan Al-Bouti, through his most renowned book in the field of faith, “The Greatest Cosmic Certainties”. This paper has sought to track the theme of man across the entire book, while analyzing and criticizing the way Al-Bouti dealt with this concept and focusing on Al-Bouti’s special interest to develop our understanding of man within the Ash‘arite Sunni theology.
