Ash'ari Literature
Ash'arism (; ) is a school of theology in Sunni Islam named after Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari, a Shāfiʿī jurist, reformer (''mujaddid''), and scholastic theologian, in the 9th–10th century. It established an orthodox guideline, based on scriptural authority, rationality, and theological rationalism. It is one of the three main schools alongside Maturidism and Atharism. Al-Ash'aris Knowledge was based both on reliance on the sacred scriptures of Islam and theological rationalism concerning the agency and attributes of God. Ashʿarism eventually became the predominant school of theological thought within Sunnī Islam, and is regarded as the single most important school of Islamic theology in the history of Islam. The disciples of the Ash'ari school are known as Ashʿarites, and the school is also referred to as the Ashʿarite school, which became one of the dominant theological schools within Sunnī Islam.

Kalam
''Ilm al-kalam'' or ''ilm al-lahut'', often shortened to ''kalam'', is the scholastic, speculative, or rational study of Islamic theology ('' aqida''). It can also be defined as the science that studies the fundamental doctrines of Islamic faith ('' usul al-din''), proving their validity, or refuting doubts regarding them. Kalām was born out of the need to establish and defend the tenets of Islam against the philosophical doubters, and to defend against heretical and religious innovations (''bidʿah''). A scholar of ''kalam'' is referred to as a ''mutakallim'' (plural ''mutakallimun''), a role distinguished from those of Islamic philosophers and jurists. After its first beginnings in the late Umayyad period, the Kalām experienced its rise in the early Abbasid period, when the Caliph al-Mahdi commissioned Mutakallimūn to write books against the followers of Iranian religions, and the Barmakid vizier Yahya ibn Khalid held Kalām discussions with members of various re ...

Asas Al-Taqdis
Asās al-Taqdīs (), also known as Ta'sis al-Taqdis () is an Islamic theological book, written by the Shafi'i-Ash'ari scholar Fakhr al-Din al-Razi (d. 606/1209), as a methodical refutation of the Karramiyya and other anthropomorphists. Fakhr al-Din al-Razi wrote this work to counter the book ''Kitab al-Tawhid'' composed by the ultra-traditionalist Ibn Khuzayma (d. 311/923). He referred to Ibn Khuzayma as 'the corporealist' (al-mujassim). He said in the book's introduction that he dedicated it especially to the Just King and the brother of Saladin, Sultan Abu Bakr ibn Ayyub. Content The first part of the book opens with a categorical rejection of any corporeality regarding God, under the title of "Indications on God's Transcendence beyond Corporeality and on Him not Being Confined y any spatial location. That is, in fact, his definition of anthropomorphism: al-Razi maintains that the one God is not present in a direction; He is not a space-occupying entity and is not a body, a ...

Al-Insaf Fima Yajib I'tiqaduh
Al-Insaf fima Yajib I'tiqaduh walā Yajūz al-Jahl bih (), is an Islamic theological book, written by the Maliki-Ash'ari scholar Abu Bakr al-Baqillani (d. 403/1013), as a methodical refutation against the Mu'tazilis and the Anthropomorphists (al-Mushabbiha). As an Ash'ari theologian, al-Baqillani disproved some theological doctrines formulated by these groups in dealing with a number of theological topics; the speech of God, the Qur'an and its characteristics, and other attributes of God. The Anthropomorphists believed that God is in the form of corporeal bodies together with their parts. He has hands, head, tongue, and other organs. Their notion is centralized to the doctrine that God has bodily materials. This doctrine was strongly rejected by al-Baqillani. His theological position takes the combination between rationalistic method and application of the revelation. Al-Baqillani also elucidated his stance concerning mutashabihat verses (uncertain or doubtful passages whose m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tabyin Kadhib Al-Muftari
Tabyin Kadhib al-Muftari fima Nusiba ila al-Imam Abi al-Hasan al-Ash'ari () is a polemic book with a powerful message against the detractors of Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari (d. 324/935), written by the Shafi'i hadith master (hafiz) Ibn 'Asakir (d. 571/1176), who vindicated him from deviant views and claims falsely attributed to him. The book was actually written in response to Abu 'Ali al-Ahwazi (d. 446/1055) who wrote a book compiling criticisms and disparagements upon al-Ash'ari. For this reason, Ibn 'Asakir authored the book, to defend the honour and integrity of al-Ash'ari, and to establish and affirm that al-Ash'ari was in agreement with Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (d. 241/855) after his conversion from the Mu'tazilite theology to the orthodox Sunni doctrine. The author gives a list of some seventy Ash'ari scholars divided into five classes (tabaqat), starting with the biographical layer of al-Ash'ari himself. The book has been in print since 1928 and has been the subject of several s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Istihsan Al-Khawd Fi 'Ilm Al-Kalam
Al-Hath 'ala al-Bahth (), better known as Risalat Istihsan al-Khawd fi 'Ilm al-Kalam () is a brief treatise written by the Sunni theologian Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari (d. 324/935), in which he defends the use of kalam (speculative or dialectical theology) and its rational methods, and discusses the antagonism between nazar (consideration) and taqlid (in this context means “blind imitation” or following the opinion and practice of others unquestionably, without due inquiry). Unlike ultra-traditionalists, al-Ash'ari considered debate, inquiry or argument, and use of the tools of logic, sense and reason in religious matters, including the matter of the doctrines of the faith as permissible, citing evidences from the Qur'an and the Sunnah that supports and endorses dialectical rational thinking, logical reasoning, and critical examination and analysis in theology.
