Sharafi is a writer who deals with the criticism of the traditional approach to the Islamic knowledge types and tries coordinating them with the conditions of the present time. The reason for this issue is that the growth of the common Islamic knowledge types has happened at the same time with the later period of codification’s emergence since the second half of the second century on. Based thereon, Islam’s theory of multiplicity, the effects of hadith narrators on Islam, Islam’s synchronization with modernity, Islam’s keeping pace with human rights, institution building in Islam and recognition of the contemporary streams in the world of Islam have been investigated from the perspective of this author. Investigation and analysis of Sharafi’s opinions showed that, in his mind, the Islamic thought is generally in need of synchronization which is also both legitimate and necessary for Islamic mindset. Sharafi realizes the problem of the jurisprudential principles’ knowledge as lying in the idea that this knowledge is investigated without paying attention to the changes and evolutions that came about on the path of its formation. It is imagined in the light of such a discretion that there is a fixed and integrated Islam in the heart of history that remains persistent and fixed and has nothing to do with the history and time and Sharafi intends to challenge and synchronize this fixed and nonhistorical Islam in a continuous and long intellectual project.
