Keywords:
Al-Milal , Shahrastani, Judaism , Comparative Religion , Muslim Theology , Jewish SectsAbstract
Al-Milal wa al-Nihal, a dignified piece of writing by Shahrastani. It serves as his introduction to the field of Ilm-al-Kalam (Muslim Dialectical Theology). This paper aims to highlight Shahrastani's methodologies on the five Jewish schisms and their shortcomings. Shahrastani's primary goals in writing about non-Islamic religions were in line with the objectives of the modern western approaches to the comparative study of religion. Shahastani maintained objectivity while discussing five Jewish traditions. As a pioneer in the field of comparative religion, he established proper canons for the narration of different religious traditions. His study of Judaism is based on readings from their sacred texts. The distinctions of his methodology are academic language, content arrangement and correct information.
