Information AboutAbu Al-hasan Al-ash'ari |
|
Al-Ash'ari was born of pure Arab stock at Basra , but spent the greater part of his life at Baghdad . Although belonging to an orthodox family, he became a pupil of the great Mutazalite teacher Al-Jubba'i , and himself remained a Mutazalite until his fortieth year. In 912 he returned to the faith of his fathers and became its most distinguished champion, using the Philosophical methods he had learned in the school of Heresy . He is said to have written over a hundred works, from which only four or five are known to be extant. Al-Ash'ari was noted for his teachings on Atomism , among the earliest Islamic Philosophies , influenced by Greek and Hindu concepts of ''atoms of time and matter'', and for al-Ash'ari the basis for propogating a Deterministic view that Allah created every moment in Time and every particle of Matter . Thus cause and effect was an Illusion , as was Free Will . REFERENCE AL Ash`ari then return to ahl us sunnah wa jama´a in his books al ibaanah and he said i say what imam ahmad ibn hanbla says so he is free from the asha´ira |
