Abstract :

Heresy means introducing what is not from religion into the realm of religion, it is considered undesirable and forbidden. On the other hand, because people have intellect, authority, creativity, to improve the quality of life, always have better ideas, tools and methods to meet the needs. They enter social and economic life, and as a result, the requirements of the social and living environment change in each age and time, and the ideas, customs and traditions of the believers and the lifestyle of the believers are also affected by these changes. It penetrates into religious traditions and mixes religious traditions with heresies. Hence, in the history of Islam, Muslims have been faced with the requirements of the age and time with caution and sensitivity.For example, some Kharijites were of the opinion that one should adhere to the religiosity of the prophetic age, and any difference with that religiosity is considered heresy. Also, some Salafis considered the beliefs and traditions of the first three centuries as religious beliefs and traditions and fought against any new thing. Truth gives originality to new ideas and insights by linking new religious knowledge with religious teachings and teachings, so religious and jurisprudential modern thinking and its results can not be considered heresy.In this article, by gathering information with library tools and using descriptive and analytical research methods, the boundaries of heresy from religious and jurisprudential modernism have been obtained, and only those categories of heresies that contradict the indisputable religious teachings of the Islamic Ummah are heresies. It is counted.
