Abstract

Sometimes, these terms are used in two different sciences. An example of the term "Islam" and "infidelity" is in the two sciences of jurisprudence and theology, which have both jurisprudential and theological effects. Since there is a fundamental difference between these two sciences, it is not the honor of the jurist to say the criterion of happiness, nor is the speaker able to speak of the rules.
Looking at his works and in a descriptive-analytical method, we come to the conclusion that the jurists of "Islam" have contented themselves with expressing the language of martyrdom and have imposed on it such rules as purity, marriage, inheritance, respect for blood and property; In this science, the infidel is the person who refuses such a statement. Certainly, the mere fact of such a confession or denial is not a cause for happiness or fortune. Apart from the rule of reason, verses and hadiths also say that a person achieves salvation by obeying the commands that have been made clear to him. And only the unfortunate one who denies it after knowing the truth.
Therefore, it is appropriate to analyze and gather the evidence that a person may be a Muslim from the point of view of the jurists, but the theologians call him an infidel. On the contrary, he should be a disbeliever in jurisprudence while he has a spirit of submission and a degree of Islam. Therefore, Islam and infidelity are common verbs in the two sciences of jurisprudence and theology.
