kalam

   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

kalam

Islamic scholastic theology. Kalam was founded by al-Ashari (873-935), whose Ashariyya School was the dominant school of scholastic theology.

Kalam has always been of secondary importance to Shari'a (law), and currently the Ashari kalam is seen by traditional Muslim scholars as a departure from Islamic theology, which is textually based. Moses is described as kalim Allah ‘the speaker to God’, because he spoke directly to God.
