The Arabic phrase ''bi-la kayfa'', also ''bi la kaifa'', (Arabic: بلا كيف) is roughly translated as "without asking how," or "without () how".〔 It was a way of resolving theological problems in Islam over apparent contradictions in verses in the Qur'an by accepting without questioning. An example is (what some thought was) the contradiction between references to God ((アラビア語:الله) ') having human characteristics (such as the "Hand of God" or the "Face of God"), and the Islamic concept of God as being transcendental, as evident in the Quranic verse '' "There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the Hearing, the Seeing,"''().〔(Surat Ash-Shūraá 42:11 )〕 Another was the question of how the Quran could be both the word of God, but never have been created by God because (as many Hadith testified) it has always existed. ==History== Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari (ca. 873-936) originated the use of the term in his development of a theological system that would resolve some of the paradoxes in the rationalist Mu'tazilah school of thought. Instead of explaining how God can have a face (which would anthropomorphize God) or explaining the verses as metaphorical (which would cast doubt on the literalness of the Qur'an) readers simply accept the verses as they stand, without asking how or why.〔 From roughly the 12th century onward, the newly formed Ash'ari sect left off the theological system considered the primary concept of al-Ash'ari himself, abandoning "bi-la kayf" and accepting the metaphorical interpretations al-Ash'ari once opposed so strenuously.〔(Muslim Philosophy )〕 Another source credits Ibn Hanbal (founder of the Hanbali school of fiqh or jurisprudence) as the original creator of the doctrine. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bi-la kaifa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
