Abstract:

In the approaches of Čedomil Veljačić, Nerkez Smailagić and Daniel Bučan, thinking is the original property of life in Islam, a feature of its integrity. Muslim thinkers share a fundamental spiritual commonality, and classical Muslim thought is a vast complex of ideas, methods, proofs, ideas and results that developed on the Qur'anic source and in dialogue with the great thought systems of the classical cultures of the East and West.

Islamic thought is too diverse and branched to be presented in the framework of generality, it is the rationality of a living religious source and continuous flows in internal and external communications. On the other hand, Čedomil Veljačić, Nerkez Smailagić and Daniel Bučan are scientists and thinkers whose works have too much meaning, in themselves and in wider cultural expressiveness, to be included in one frame. The consideration was undertaken, because in their reflections on the processes and products of classical Muslim thought, thought participation of the first order is shown, a participation that allows connected characterizations and which Nietzsche would say is a participation from the deep. Veljačić is convincing in his thought connection with Suhraverdi, and in connecting Suhraverdi with Zarathustra in the spiritual East, and with Aristotle in the West; Smailagic is reliable in the opinion of contradictions and agreements between the religious plans of the Qur'an, the paths of movement of Muslim societies and the creative inner tensions of Muslim thinkers of the classical era; Bučan is credible in realizing the grandiose program of translating and interpreting Arabic philosophical works that began with the first post-medieval thinker of history, with Ibn Khaldun, and led him, so far, to the last of the greatest builders of the theosophical fusion of philosophy and theology in world thought, to Mullah Sadr Shirazi.
