Seriously, is Shaykh Yusuf Al-Qaradwi an Athari? I am a layperson. I am not Ashari or Athari. Just asking because of curiosity.

In reply to Parvez Khan. You have mentioned the names of some Imams who lived before the theology of Athari surfaced. Athari theology surfaced during the live of Imam Hanbal. Imam Abu Hanifa, and Malik lived when Imam Hanbal even was not born yet. The more you study the more you will find that all those three have more in common than differences. On one thing you may agree with one of them and on other thing you may agree with the other and they are all ok. They all believe in Allah swt, Mohammad SAW, the books of Allah swt, angles, day of judgment, life after death, and qadre and shar from Allah SWT. Only those who want to bring division in Islam are going after these meaningless things to create division among Muslim ommah. Read Quran and follow it and follow Mohammad SAW, and you will be saved.

In reply to osman.

The majority of the scholars of the first 4 centuries followed Athari Aqeedah.

The Tabi’un such as Mujahid, Hasan al Basri, Sa’id ibn Jubayr and Qatadah followed the theology of Athari creed.

Also the well known scholars such as Abu hanifa, Abdul Malik, Abu Yusuf, Muhammad Shafi, Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, Sufyan Thawri, Bukhari, Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, Tabari, Tahawi, Ibn Jawzi, Ibn Qutayba, IBn Qudamah, Ibn Taymiya, Ibn Qayyim, Ibn Kathir, Dhahabi and Suyuti followed the Aqeedah of Athari.

Regarding Imam Nawawi, Hafiz Ibn Hajr Al Asqalani and Imam Qurtubi also used the manhaj similar to Athari Aqeedah. Their commentaries on hadith make it clear that they also followed Athari theology.

I personally support what An-Nabi sallahualayhiwaslam and the Sahaba were on.

Oh, and that nonsense of Asharis and Maturidis being the majority of the Ummah is a total myth.

Subhanallah. Why do you give yourself names when the Lord has already given us the best ‘Muslim”.
This is of course a sign of the day of judgement. Students of knowledge, I ask Allah to guide you guys. Scholars, may Allah guide you all and preserve you, but be weary. A grave burden and responsibility has befallen you.
The great imams of before, when a question was brought to them, would say Laa a3lam. I do not know. And to me, this was the highest level of imaan and knowledge. God bless!

Imam al-Tahawi was athari.

The four Imams were athari.

The Hanbali madhhab has remained athari throughout history (including Ibn Qudamah, Abdul Qadir al-Jilani).

In the early days the other three madhhabs were a mixture of Ash’aris/Maturidis and Atharis.

The Sahabah were athari.

The dividing line is shirk. Calling upon the dead is shirk. I think that was what the brother was saying.

Surely you wouldn’t like someone who claimed they were a Muslim but also worshipped Shiva and Vishnu.

The greatest scholars of the past 1,400 years were Ash`ari and Maturidi (I do not have any knowledge of the Athari aqeedah); the Imams of these schools were part of the first three generations after the Prophet (S), the Salaf, and their teachings have been accepted by the past 1,400 years of `ulemaa’. The greatest scholars of the ummah, the likes of Imam Nawawi, Imam Qurtubi, Hafiz ibn Hajar Al-Asqalani, Imam Sakhawi, etc., etc., etc., followed one of these schools of `aqeedah, which have existed for the past 1,400 years.

In reply to Siswa.

Assalaamu ‘Alaikum Sidi,

It’s shocking to see the name of Ibn Taymiyyah being included amongst the Atharis.

Wasalam,
