THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL BASIS OF RESEARCH ON MATURIDIYYA: PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

Abstract

The article analyzes the methods used by modern researchers in the study of Abu Mansur al-Maturidi and the doctrine of Maturidiyya. It surveys the different approaches in the methods used by Turkish, Western, and some Arab researchers in studying the Maturidiyya doctrine today. It also points out that the methods of Turkish researchers seem to be more remarkable than others. The article also analyzes the bias and unfounded criticism of some Arab scholars towards the teachings of the Maturidiyya, using examples from the books of two Arab scholars. In their research, the two scholars revealed their biased approach to the doctrine of Maturidiyya, relying on monopolistic and stoichiometric methods.
