Farabi in his book, Ihsa Al-Olum, distinguished between two approaches of Kalam (theology): discursive and non-discursive. In the following period, the discursive Kalam overcame the non-discursive and became a theological approach which is characterize as philosophical theology. Hereafter, occurred a kind of dialogue and understanding between Islamic philosophers and theologians. Fakhr is the one who established philosophical Kalam and this Kalam culminated in Nasir Al-Din Tusi’s philosophical theology. The basic traits of this new theology are: adopting logic as the method of reasoning; bringing and discussing philosophical issues into Kalam; defending and illuminating religious beliefs from a philosophical or scientific point of view. In present paper we have discussed milieu, historical conditions and the ways in which this important change happened based on what Ibn Khaldun took into account, because the thesis is of history of idea.
