Salafi Vs Ashari-Maturidi Aqeedah – Is There Any Basic Difference Between Them?

SALAFI VS ASHARI-MATURIDI AQEEDAH

From the Book

Muslims became conversant with the Greek intellectual patrimony m the beginning of the second century. The philosophical thought or the Greeks was nothing more than an intellectual sophistry and a play upon words devoid of any content of reality

The concepts and ideas of man, limited as they are, find expression in Ms language which is wholly inadequate to delineate the nature and attributes of the Limitless Being The nature of God, His attributes,

His creativeness, and similar other questions do not admit of an analysis and experimentation similar to those of tangible objects nor yet of a rational explanation,

if only, because man does not possess the rudimentary knowledge or the basic precepts and experiences m regard to these matters, while the entire structure of his thoughts, ideas and imagination rests on sensory perceptions.

Divine revelation through His apostles is, in reality, the only means of acquiring knowledge with certitude in this respect, for it can alone provide mankind with the gnosis of Supreme Being and IDs attributes Trust in the prophets, there- fore, bespeaks of prudence and sound intellect.

Muslims possessed the Quran and the Sunnah which provided an answer to all intellec- tual and spiritual questions and left no excuse for plunging into philosphical speculations
