Abstract
In mathematics, especially in the Arithmetic section, there is number theory which can represent theological values. Mathematics is often presented with materialist values without deep meaning. One group of classical philosophers who have mathematical thinking, especially number theory, which not only explains the material of numbers themselves, but also links it to meaningful theological values is the Ikhwān al-Ṣafā'. This research aims to reveal the theological values contained in the thinking about numbers. Using the literature study method, the researcher specifically studied the phenomenal book Rasā'il Ikhwān al-Ṣafā' as the primary source. Researchers found that in the Ikhwān al-Ṣafā' number theory, there is the value of monotheism which is described by the characteristics of the number one and the value of creation which is described by the ladder of numbers.
Keywords: Ikhwān al-Ṣafā', Numbers, Theological Values, Value of Monotheism, Value of Creation
مستخلص
في الرياضيات، وخاصة قسم الحساب، هناك نظرية الأعداد التي يمكن أن تمثل القيم اللاهوتية. غالبًا ما يتم تقديم الرياضيات بقيم مادية دون معنى عميق. إحدى مجموعات الفلاسفة الكلاسيكيين الذين لديهم تفكير رياضي، وخاصة نظرية الأعداد، التي لا تشرح مادة الأعداد نفسها فحسب، بل تربطها أيضًا بقيم لاهوتية ذات معنى، هم إخوان الصفا. يهدف هذا البحث إلى الكشف عن القيم اللاهوتية التي يتضمنها التفكير في الأرقام. وباستخدام منهج دراسة الأدب، قام الباحث على وجه التحديد بدراسة الكتاب الهائل رسائل إخوان الصفا باعتباره المصدر الأساسي. ووجد الباحثون أن في نظرية الأعداد لإخوان الصفا قيمة التوحيد التي توصف بخصائص الرقم واحد، وقيمة الخلق التي توصف بتسلسل سلم الأعداد.
الكلمات الرئسية: الأعداد، إخوان الصفا، القيم اللاهوتية، قيم الخلق، قيم التوحيد
