Islam & Natural Philosophy: Principles of Daqiq al-Kalam presents the works of theologians regarding Natural Philosophy, including their views on space, time, motion, matter and the rest of the natural world.

These topics, called Daqiq al-Kalam, complement the other part of kalam regarding divinity (ilahiyat), called Jalil al-Kalam. The novel contribution of Altaie is his discovery that the scholars based their arguments on five basic principles: temporality, atomism, continual re-creation, contingency and indeterminacy of the world and the integrity of space and time.
