AB Theological Tawaqquf holds that if Islamic scripture is silent on a proposition, neither it nor its negation can be affirmed. Applied to Adamic Exceptionalism—specifically, human existence before Adam’s descent—Malik and Jalajel adopt a non-committal stance. I argue that Theological Tawaqquf fails as a complete theory because it violates negation completeness. The implications of this contravene classical logic, induce an epistemic limitation, and render Adamic Exceptionalism systematically incomplete. By generating undecidable propositions, Theological Tawaqquf proves inadequate as a theological methodology, necessitating a re-evaluation of Adamic Exceptionalism’s (theoretical) viability.
