  1. God of Ibn Sīnā: Immutable yet Responsive.Yasin Ramazan Başaran - 2023 - Eskiyeni 51 (Special Issue):977 - 991.
    The term “God of the philosophers” refers to the concept of God as understood and discussed in philosophical discourse. It is a philosophical concept of God that is often considered distinct from the concept of God found in religious traditions.

  2. The Idea of Subjective Faith in al-Maturidi’s Theology.Yasin Ramazan Basaran - 2011 - Journal of Islamic Research (Islamitische Universiteit van Europa) 4 (ii):48-54.
