This chapter will explore the stages of Islamic creative thinking, legal reasoning and deductive reasoning in Islam relating to the seven different Ulemas belonging to seven different Islamic sects.
Creativity in Islam can only be assessed by educated and intellectually qualified Islamic Ulema (scholars) that hold the relevant knowledge and are authentic Ulemas. 1 As Islam is a complete way of life and the religious, financial and political platforms must be part of the assessment of creativity. The purpose of this chapter is to understand how seven different sects in Islam, namely Sunni, Shia, Whabbi, Salafi, Berelvi, Sufi and Deobandi (Seven Sects) have different perspectives on creativity in Islam.
