الفكر العقدي عند الشيخ بيوض

objectives which cannot be reached except through reinterpretation among which:

a. Sanctifying Allah (Azza wa Djall).

b. Respecting the symmetry between Koran and Hadith texts.

Second: the criteria of reinterpretation:

a. Referring the allegorical to the fundamentals of holy Koran.

b. The arrangement between the texts dealing with a single subject، since the divine legislation (the Shareah) with its two principal sources the Holy Book and the Sunnah are stemming from Allah the All Knower and All acquainted; and therefore their texts are complementary and they explain each other.

c. To stick to the system of the Arabic tongue، since the legislation was sent down by it and its texts are understood by it.

d. Believing in the relativity in belief concerning the results of reinterpretation; because the allegorical texts have a skeptic meaning since they may have more than one face، and therefore its reinterpretation by opting one face does not affords him the degree of certainty; only Allah can know the true meaning of the allegorical.

4. Since the results reached through reinterpretation have just a skeptic meaning، Sheikh Beyoud forgives the other side reinterpreter provided that he respects the criteria.

5. Sheikh Beyoud classifies the speech about Allah's private affairs into two categories:

a. What has not been informed by Allah; in this case he abstains from researching in it altogether، and entrusts the matter to Allah.

b. What has been informed by Allah; in this case he makes his best to reach the right and acceptable reinterpretation، if not he resorts to entrusting the matter to Allah.

Third: The characteristics of Sheikh Beyoud's dogmatic approach:

Sheikh Beyoud made its best to refer to the Koran approach in asserting dogma and strengthening it in souls; thus، he endeavors to facilitate its presentation and to clean it from the addings that stick to it during eras because of doctrine and political discrepancies. This approach – in its simplicity- is more effective in philosophers' approach thanks to what it engenders in purifying souls and adjusting behaviors. It has some characteristics، among which:

1. Comprehensiveness: noticed in the complementarity in faith elements and in widening its consequences and requirements so as it embraces all the domains of Man's life.

2. Realism:

a. Methodologically: addressing people by means of what they may understand.

b. Thematically: the emphasis on dealing with the subjects related to people's day to day life.
