Does Islamic Sharia contain what is referred to as "theology," as is the case in other religious laws?
Theology is a Greek word meaning: discourse about God.
If what is meant is a science specifically concerned with discourse about God in Islam, the Noble Quran has expounded upon this in detail. The entire Quran revolves around (monotheism) in its various forms (Tawhid of knowledge and affirmation, and Tawhid of seeking and intention), the rights of Tawhid and its recompense, and accounts of polytheism and its adherents.
If what is meant is the term (men of religion) in its deviant sense in other faiths, which implies the existence of an intermediary between God and His servants, then Islam is free from this.
If what is meant is a seminary or a faculty of theology, which is an institution for training men of religion, then Muslims have venerable Islamic universities and faculties for teaching Islamic sciences.
