Although Islamic theology is famous for its radical emphasis on monotheism, the study of the historical, scriptural, theological, philosophical, mystical, and ideological conceptualizations of monotheism within Islamic thought has been surprisingly lacking. Although many studies have been written on how different Muslim thinkers have discussed divine nature, essence and attributes, few have been written on the idea of monotheism itself. To help fill this lacuna, this conference will tackle the historical, philosophical, and theological dimensions of monotheism in early Islam and the centuries following, right up to the ninth and tenth century before the period of canonisations.
