Özet:

The subject of our study was Tahir al-Jazairi. He is a scholar who lived in the Strian region in the last period of the Ottoman Empire and was Distinguished by his reformist ideas. The most important reason why al-Jazairi turned to the idea of reform is that Muslims lag behind western civilization. In order for Muslims to rise again, they must first face the problems that left them behind. Also, the key to re-ascension is the method of reform. Many of his works were taught in newly opened modern schools. al-Jazairi wrote these works with a new teaching method. Thus, al-Jazari by using new methods, he enabled students to overcome the difficulties they encountered in the education process. He has two works written in the field of kalam. The first of these is El-Cevâhirü'l-Kelamiyye, which he wrote while he was in Syria, and El-Cevheret'ü fi-Kava'idi'l-Akaid, which he wrote during the hijra years in Egypt. His works include some new methods different from the classical akaid texts. He predicted that with these methods, theological issues can be grasped easily. When we examined al-Jazairi's method of creed, he followed the Salaf scholars of his basic understanding. He conveys the issues of creed to the reader in a plain language that is far from discussions. It is seen that he prefers some basic methods such as giving importance to the density of meaning rather than the plurality of words and giving explanatory examples. For this reason, in our study, these methods that the author followed in the transfer of theological issues were determined.
