Abstract

In this article, focusing primarily on Abū ‘Udhba’s (d. 1125/1713) al-Rawđa al-bahiyya and Shaykhzāde ‘Abdurraĥīm’s (d. 1148/1735) Nažm al-farā’id, I discuss some of the chief doctrinal differences between the two largest Sunni kalām schools, namely, the Ash‘arīs and Māturīdīs. On the basis of three exemplary topics: knowledge of God, God’s attributes of action (al-śifāt al-fi‘liyya), and the relationship between divine predestination and human free will, I analyze philosophical implications behind certain theological differences

Abstract

Küçük Kelāmī Farklar, Derin Felsefī Īmālar: Eş‘arīler ve Māturīdīler Arasındaki Bazı Temel Farklılıklar Üzerine Mülahazalar Bu makalenin ana konusu Ehl-i Sünnetin iki büyük itikādī mezhebi arasındaki İslam kaynaklarında zikredilen temel kelāmī farklar hakkındadır. Bu farkları konu edinen klasik İslāmī eserlerin ifadesine göre sözkonusu iki kelām mezhebinin aralarındaki farklar teferruata dairdir ve ciddi bir ehemmiyete haiz değildir. Bu makale, seçilen üç ana kelāmī mevzu (İlāhī bilginin mahiyeti, Allah’ın fiilī sıfatları, kader ve kesb meselesi) çerçevesinde bu farkların muhtevalarının ne gibi felsefī sonuçlar doğurabileceği üzerinde mütalalar ortaya koymaktadır
