- Abstract
Al-Mutakallimun mentioned various proofs in order to prove the oneness of Allah. The most important of this proofs is the Burhan al-tamanu. This proof refutes the claim that there is more than one god. When we assume that there are gods more than one in the universe, discussions and conflicts must occure between two unlimited wishes. In the end of conflict, for instance when one god wanted something to happen and the other wanted it not to happen, one of the three possibilities would happen. Both of the gods' wishes would take place. Neither of the gods' wishes would take place or one of the gods' wish would take place and the other's wish would not. All of those possibilities are invalid and impossible. Thus, all of the possibilities turned out to be invalid; and the thesis that there are two or more gods is proved to be invalid spontaneously. However there have also been some criticisms of this evidence. These criticisms are based on the fact that the evidence is far from rational certainty and merely convincing. In this study, the criticisms of the dalil al-tamanu will be examined and the rational certainty of the evidence will be made clear.
