Research Problems in Daqiq al-Kalam
Daqīq al-kalām brings about wider scope for search in important issues of natural philosophy. These issues are in close connection to the current problems of physics. We just have seen how this can be achieved through some examples of fundamental importance treated in chapters of part III of this book. These examples teach us how powerful are the principles of daqīq al-kalām in providing solutions for those fundamental problems. We have seen the example of utilizing the principle of re-creation in offering a solution for the problem of measurement in quantum mechanics in chapter one of part III, how the same principle along with kalām atomism and their description of discrete motion can provide a solution for the description of quantum particle trajectory in the double slit experiment. We have seen how the principle of contingency and indeterminism can provide a deeper understanding of the anthropic principle through presenting the interplay between fine tuning and the blind laws of nature, and in chapter six of part III of the book I have glimpsed on using the principle of contingency and indeterminism to seek a possible explanation for the mechanism of biological evolution and the evolution of the world in general.

In fact the new daqīq al-kalām carries great potential for offering basis for solution to many problems in natural sciences, specifically physics and biology. These solutions are now badly needed in order to open the doors for a new progress in these field of scientific quest since most of the venues in theoretical physics are now congested with unnecessary complications brought in by the mathematical approaches employed for problems taken out of their physical context. So it might not be surprising after all to seek solutions for our problems from natural philosophy.
In what follows I am suggesting ten problems for study along the new line of thought, these are.

The Vacuum
The concept of nonexistence and the nonexistent (the non-being) of the Muʽtazilis, has a relationship with the concept of vacuum in contemporary physics. This school of thought believed that the nonexistent is something, contrary to what the Ash'aris adopted. The Muʽtazilis hold that the nonexistent are jawāher (substances) in the vacuum but lack occupancy (taḥayyuz). This means that the nonexistent are virtual jawāher (or virtual particle. Accordingly, a number of questions can be raised: is it possible to have an agreement between this concept and the concept of the vacuum as offered by quantum field theory? Is there a useful utilization of this concept for the relativistic quantum theory of Dirac? What does it imply if we envisage the re-creation of the virtual state to be at work? Can daqīq al-kalām present clearer vision in this regard?
