Maturidism information

Maturidism (Arabic: الماتريدية, romanized: al-Māturīdiyya) is school of Islamic theology within Sunni Islam named after theologian Abu Mansur al-Maturidi in the 9th–10th century. Maturidi theology is considered one of the orthodox creeds of Sunnī Islam alongside Atharism and Ash'arism,^[4] and prevails in the Ḥanafī school of Islamic jurisprudence.^[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] he 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-Ray (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 Māturīdī theology.^[12] There have also been Arab Māturīdī scholars.^[19]
