The distinctive feature of the Mu‘tazilite school is to have laid down its fun
damental principles as al-usfil al-khamsa (five fundamentals) and concen
trated on theological and philosophical issues. Within the Mutazila, due to
their different approaches to the imamate and politics, there emerged two
main streams, the schools of Baghdad and Basra. The Mu’tazilite thinkers
are most often defined as rationalist, individualist, liberal and eccentric
figures. The members of this school attached great importance to reaso
ning in understanding and interpreting religious texts as well as the whole
Islamic heritage.
In the history of Islamic thought, the Mu’tazilite School is characterized by its
particular method in understanding and interpreting Islamic precepts. They
took up an evident rationalist stand by giving the precedence to reasoning
both in providing solutions to the intellectual challenges and in understan
ding and interpreting the Islamic scriptures alike. In this context, this article
attempts to point out the rationalist dimension of the Mu’tazilite tradition.
