Abstract

Religion is in itself formed by some fundamental
bases which have permanent and perennial characters. These are the
common denominators shared by the believers living at different times and
places. However, in addition to these unvariables there are some principles
which vary according to conditions the believers live in. In Islamic literature
there are such concepts as tecdid, ictihad which are employed to apply these
principles to various conditions. In this context, one of the most remarkable
trends in recent times is to discuss the innovation or reform in Islamic
thought. The article here is putting forward another approach to the nature,
structure and method of this innovation.
