Reappraising the concept of God in Al-Kindi’s reflections with the Qur'anic approach displays another of his aspects. In explaining the concept of God, Al-Kindi emphasizes the "Creatorship" and has reflected this in various treatises from his collection of philosophical treatises. The question is how Al-Kindi used the Qur'an to explain the concept of God? Can Al-Kindi's explanation of the concept of God also be considered Qur'anic? To express the concept of God and introduce him as the creator, Al-Kindi, either openly uses the verses of the Qur'an or implicitly uses the Qur'anic themes and the concepts of Ḥaqq, ‘Alīm, ‘Ādil and Qādir to describe God. In some treatises, he cites verses from the Holy Qur'an (Yā Sīn, 78-82; Al-Raḥmān, 6) and in using the Qur'an directly, he considers God as Creator (Khāliq) and in using the Qur'anic themes and views God as Truth (Ḥaqq) which has Qur'anic attributes. In this article, by examining these verses and Al-Kindi's explanation of them, we reappraise the concept of God from a Qur'anic point of view and answer the above-mentioned questions.
