Abstract:   (21 Views)
"Accommodating dissimulation" (al-taqiyyat al-mudārātiyya) is a jurisprudential ruling in Imami Shiite denomination. It falls under the broader category of dissimulation or taqiyya, which refers to the act of dissimulating in order to attract favor or gain advantages, as opposed to "wary dissimulation" (al-taqiyyat al-khawfiyya), which is intended to avoid harm. Accommodating dissimulation is a belief within the Islamic faith, particularly prominent in the Imami denomination. It underlies an authentic approach aimed at fostering societal progress. It has pedagogical impacts across various sectors, as it fosters unity and harmony among individuals, particularly in that after convergence, the research intersects with social kalām, which seeks to extract and defend religious beliefs that have social dimensions, revealing their influence on individual and societal behavior. The main conclusions are as follows:
  1. Accounting for the role of "accommodating dissimulation" in fostering strong relationships among Muslims and followers of each Islamic denomination, serving as cornerstone of social cohesion.
  2.  Elucidating the boundaries and limitations of "accommodating dissimulation" to prevent its misuse at the expense of the established religious doctrines.
  3. Explaining social dimensions of "accommodating dissimulation."
Moreover, this research contributes to the Islamic literature through a study of “accommodating dissimulation” in light of contemporary social kalām and replies to objections about its exercise in the society. Further, it identifies its direct and indirect impacts on individuals and the society.
Keywords: Accommodating dissimulation, social kalām, pedagogical impacts.
