The methodology of Islamic law (usūl al-fiqh) procures the principles from the rational and revealed sciences. Kalām, the Arabic language, fiqh, and logic are among the sciences whose principles Islamic jurisprudence has adopted. The concept of mawādd was first used by Imām al-Haramayn alJuwaynī (d. 478/1085) to mean the sciences that establish the fundamentals of usūlal-fiqhand to express the sciences from which the methodology drew. In the following centuries, this concept was replaced by the concept of mabādī [rudiments], which is a term from logic. Those who include theological concepts in their works on Islamic Jurisprudence are also theologians (mutakallimūn). Transferring these concepts into books on methodology had arisen from the idea of accepting methodology as a branch of theology. The jurists, on the other hand, kept their distance from transferring the issues of kalām to works on methodology but did not hesitate to express their thoughts on the subject when appropriate. The subjects expressing the relationship between reason and text, such as husun and qubuh [good and evil], are seen to be included in almost all works. After some time, one of the scholars, 'Ala' ad-Dīn Al-Samarqandī (d. 539/1144), felt the need to include theological issues in the works on jurisprudence and aimed to initiate a transformation in the tradition of writing for the fuqahā' [Islamic jurists]. This article aims to examine the course of mabādī issues by focusing on some works with high representational ability regarding the traditions of mutakallimūn, fuqahā', and mamzūj [mixed] writing. The main subject of this research is to examine the concepts and issues theologian authors included, to examine the context in which the jurists dealt with the theological issues, and finally to determine the preferences of the works written using the mamzūj method, which aims to combine the two traditions. In addition to the science of kalām, this study also includes scholars' preferences regarding mabādī in relation to the other sciences..
