The contingency and eternity of The world is one of the important issues that has always been considered in Islamic theology and philosophy. In order to explain and evaluate the theory of the al-Kindi - who is the first Islamic philosopher- the author has achieved three reasons for proving the contingency of the world by following and studing his works. One reason has been given by al-Kindi for proving the contingency of the world but two other reasons have been mentioned among other things and is expressed for the purpose of proving other things but it has the ability to prove the contingency of the world. The two reasons are based on the finiteness of time and the mutual implication among mass, motion and time and another reason is based on the mutual implication between being caused and contingency. Based on that he considers the universe to be limited to the material world, all three reasons are valid his claim However, the third reason also includes the immaterial world which is one of the advantages of his theory. Of course, he does not deal with the concept of contingency and does not provide a suitable explanation in proving the mutual implication between being caused and contingency and this is one of the disadvantages of his theory.
