The ruling on calling some people Islamic thinkers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is this statement correct? It is not permissible to call some people Islamic thinkers; because Islam does not involve thinking, but rather it is merely following the religion.

Answer:
Yes, Islam is not the result of ideas or thinking. Islam is built on the revelation sent down to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). So it is not thinking, nor the result of ideas. But the jurists say "jurists" instead of "thinkers." If the jurists have the qualification for jurisprudence, the scholars' rulings are not built on thought, but on jurisprudence based on evidence from the Book and the Sunnah. Yes.
