School of theology in Sunni Islam
Maturidism (Arabic : الماتريدية , romanized : al-Māturīdiyya ) is a school of theology in Sunni Islam named after Abu Mansur al-Maturidi . It is one of the three creeds of Sunni Islam alongside Ash'arism and Atharism , and prevails in the Hanafi school of jurisprudence .[ 4] [ 7] [ 1]
Al-Maturidi codified and systematized the theological Islamic beliefs already present among the Ḥanafite Muslim theologians of Balkh and Transoxiana [ 5] [ 10] under one school of systematic theology (kalām );[ 11] [ 12] Abu Hanifa emphasized the use of rationality and theological rationalism regarding the interpretation of the sacred scriptures of Islam .[ 16] [ 1]
Maturidism was originally circumscribed to the region of Transoxiana in Central Asia [ 17] but it became the predominant theological orientation amongst the Sunnī Muslims of Persia before the Safavid conversion to Shīʿīsm in the 16th century , and the Ahl al-Ra'y (people of reason). It enjoyed a preeminent status in the Ottoman Empire and Mughal India .[ 18] Outside the old Ottoman and Mughal empires, most Turkic tribes , Hui people , Central Asian, and South Asian Muslims also follow the Maturidi theology.[ 12] There have also been Arab Maturidi scholars.[ 19]
