Abstract
This paper provides a comparative analysis of the theological views of the prominent scientist, theologian and religious figure Rizaeddin Fakhreddin (1859–1936) on Islamic doctrine, which are set out in his main theological works. The relevance of this study is due to the lack of knowledge of the scientist’s theological heritage and its analysis from the theological side. The research briefly covers the main sources on the Islamic faith, which were distributed at that time among the Muslim peoples of the Volga region. In particular, the work investigates the statements and comments of R. Fakhreddin on the definition of Islamic doctrine and creed. The authors also display his attitude to the problem of declaring a person as an infidel (who left Islam).
