A Study on the Theological Ideas of Mawlavi Kurd

There is no doubt that Abdolrahim Tawagozi known as Mawlavi Kurd with poetic pseudonym of Ma'doum (1806-1882) is among the greatest Kurdish poets renowned not only for poetic capabilities but also in mysticism, theology, exegesis, and Hadith. His experiences in the fields of poetry and Islamic theology clarify his abilities in these areas. He has published three versified books in Kurdish, Persian and Arabic languages about Islamic theology. He took his most theological viewpoints from Ash'ari's which were described according to a famous Prophetic Hadith defining the matters of belief, righteousness, and Islam. This paper utilizing the descriptive-analytic method and library resources, will reflect Mawlavi's thoughts especially in the Arabic versified book of Fazila. The results of the research indicate that most of Mawlavi's beliefs were derived from Ash'ari's views, but in some cases such as: fatality, Caliphate and Imamate, and divine speech, there are somewhat different opinions
