Öz

al-Maturîdî proves the Creator of the world by starting from the temporal origination of the world out of nothing (huduth). According to him, the temporal origination of the world can be explained in these theree ways of acquiring knowledge: 1-Report(khabar) 2- Senses 3- Reasoning(nazar). Thus he proves the existence of God by these three ways. On the other hand, according to al-Maturîdî, proving the attributes is closely related to attaining knowledge about God. Since we can not acquire knowledge of God by senses and reports (khabar), knowledge of God can be acquired through indications in the world for Him; that is, the indication of the known(shahada,) for the unknown(ghayb). The visible (or the known) indicates the unseen in terms of its attributes not the esence. Thus al-Maturîdî proves the attributes to God by this.way
