Description :

"The Maturidi School : From Imam Abu Hanifa to Imam al-Kawthari." This work is a comparative translation and survey of the bullet points of the most important Maturidi authorities and their doctrinal textbooks with a bio-bibliography of Maturidi scholarship in descending order of antiquity.


The doctrinal creed of the largest denomination of Muslims that came to be known as ‘The Adherents to the Sunna and the Congregation’ found staunch defenders in the school of Abu' Mansur al-Maturidi (d.333/945), who codified the theology of ‘the Greatest Leader’ (al-Imam al-Azam) Abu' Hanifa.
 

This work is a comparative translation and survey of the bullet points of the most important Maturidi authorities and their doctrinal textbooks with a bio-bibliography of Maturidi scholarship in descending order of antiquity.
 

It highlights their resolutions (taqrirat) as the defining parameters of Sunnism and can serve both as an introductory synopsis of the great themes of Maturidism and as a tool for the study of the school’s theology from its early founders to our time.
