The Criticism of Jajarwi’s View on the Role of Man’ in Taking Actions and Maintaining Domination over the World of Causes

Man’s role and domination over doing things in the world has been one of the most important issues through history that provoked intense controversies among Islamic sects such as Mu’tazilites, Asharites, Maturidites, Shiites, Salafists and the like. Their theories fluctuate between the two extremes from the absolute negation of man’s role to man’s absolute free will. After the creation of Salafism, this controversy became harsh, because some of them considered the theory a cause of blasphemy and polytheism. In what follows, the authors have tried to analyze and examine man’s share in man’s taking action in contrast to God’s domination in the light of Jajarwi’s view as a prominent scholar of Deobandi, or rather the most influential intellectual of Mamati Deobandi of Pakistan and many eastern parts of Iran. Jajarwi’s important claim is the negation of man’s power and domination whatsoever over the creation of anything in the world of nature; he considers any help or imploring for assistance from God’s saints as a cause of polytheism. This theory comes under a few criticisms such as counter-argument, criticisms of his infrastructure and of the solution.
