I believe Muslim process theologians will retain a notion of Divine omnipotence, contra many of their Christian and Jewish colleagues. But, this will be a necessary move if their theology is to be taken at all seriously amongst both the religious authorities and the common believers. Despite the marked pluralism of theological (and legal) orthodoxy within the Islam, the understanding of God’s omnipotence is so central to basic Qur’anic theology that outright denial of this feature of God is tantamount to disbelief. However, this doctrine will not be without qualification for the Islamic process theologian.
