Sinopsis

The doctrinal creed of the largest denomination of Muslims that came to be known as âÇÖThe Adherents to the Sunna and the CongregationâÇÖ found staunch defenders in the school of the âÇÖArch-master of guidanceâÇÖ (Imam al-huda) and âÇÖStandard-bearer of guidanceâÇÖ (Alam al-huda) of Samarqand, Abu Mansur al-Maturidi (d. 333/945), who codified the theology of âÇÖthe Greatest LeaderâÇÖ (al-Imam al-AâÇÖzam) Abu Hanifa.áThis work is a survey of the most important Maturidi authorities and their doctrinal textbooks with a condensed overview of the bio-bibliography of Maturidi scholarship in descending order of antiquity.áIt highlights their resolutions (taqrirat) as the defining parameters of Sunnism and can serve both as an introductory synopsis of the great themes of Maturidism and as a tool for the study of the schoolâÇÖs theology from its early founders to our time.
