Abstract

Al-Kindî represents the epistemological relationship between religion and philosophy. He tried to confirm and explain religion through pure reasoning and observation. The portrait of the philosopher represented by Al-Kindî, considers the text as symbolic or encrypted and acts on the basis of its etymological meaning within the limits of language. Al-Kindî translated the Qur'anic verse "the same Who produced for you fire from a green tree" (Qur'an 36/80) under the principle of light "contrast is made of contrasts" introduced in the time of Plato and Aristotle. He mentions that every being is made of something of itself and insists that every thing has come into existence from non-existence (ex-nihilio). In this article, Yaqub Ibn Ishaq Al Al-Kindî's views on religion and the interpretation of religious texts will be analyzed in detail. Al-Kindî's different philosophical methods reflect his understanding of religion. In this article, we aim to explain his views on religion, language, meaning and comments regarding Al Kindi. This article will review in more detail related to al kindi's understanding of religion and his understanding in interpreting it.
