This study addressed the issue of the emergence of extreme sects, particularly the Qadariyyah sect, which caused intellectual confusion with their views on fundamental doctrinal issues such as human action, predestination, divine will, and moral good and evil. This necessitated examining how interpreters approached these views and analyzing their responses. The study focused on Imam Al-Qurtubi's engagement with these doctrinal issues in his tafsir "Al-Jami' li-Ahkam al-Qur’an," uncovering his method of refuting Qadariyyah claims and formulating a da'wah approach that can be utilized in argumentation and debate. The researcher employed the inductive-analytical method to trace the Qadariyyah's claims in various contexts, analyze their dangers, and systematically examine Imam Al-Qurtubi’s approach in refuting these claims. The deductive method was then used to derive a da'wah framework that serves as a model for preachers in argumentation and defending Islamic beliefs. The results demonstrated that Al-Qurtubi gave significant attention to addressing doctrinal issues, despite his tafsir being primarily focused on legal rulings. He provided detailed responses to key doctrinal matters, such as human responsibility for actions and moral evaluation, and developed a da'wah methodology that serves as a model for preachers in argumentation and defending Islamic beliefs. The study recommended that students of knowledge and preachers focus on studying the discussions of interpreters with deviant sects and utilize these insights to construct a robust da'wah discourse grounded in reason and evidence. By implementing these recommendations, contemporary da'wah efforts can effectively address modern intellectual challenges while remaining faithful to Islamic principles.
