i’m trying to learn more as a layman and would like to know what is your aqeedah and the reasons why?

i follow ash'arism. especially the ash'arism of imam Ghazali (this is the one am most familiar with). The reason being that through it, i was able to have some fundamental questions about islam answered in a reasonable way (things like existence of God, the theory of evolution, proofs for why the prophet was a genuine prophet, etc).

 

[Al hashimi]

You love ghazali so much yet he renounced asharism

 

[mohamedismail]

Aqeedah salaf as saalih Alhamdullilah.

Qur'an and sunnah upon the understanding of the salaf as saalih. That's the only way.

You love ghazali so much yet he renounced asharism

where did he do that? i have seen quotes of the imam where he talks very harshly about kalam, but in those cases, he immediately starts to talk about a state/method that is superior to kalam (sufism). I will get started on sufism once i get time inshalah, but for now, asharism works perfectly fine for me

tbh honest, i don't trust this paper. The scholars i trust, let alone them claiming that he left kalam for traditionalism, they claim he focused more on a sufism that had very strong philosophical influences. For now though, all i can say is even if he left kalam, his works helped me a lot and am grateful to him for that

 

[Al hashimi]

sufism, sooo do you bop your head uncontrollably in the mosque

 

[Omar del Sur]

if anyone would like to study aqeedah and you haven't read it yet, please study Al-Aqeedah al-Wasitiyyah by Sheikh ul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah.

 

[World]

I recommend al aqeedah al tahawiyyah

This book is accepted by all Muslims for Aqeedah whether Hanbali, Maturidi or Ashari. There is a consensus.

As a Muslim it has everything you must know and believe in.

 

[Hamzza]

My creed is the Aqeedah of Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamah and Asharis, Maturidis & Azhari, neo-Hanbali/Athari(Ashari larpers) are not part of it. Alhamdulillah

Our go-to books are

-Kitab Al Tawheed by Ibn Khuzaymah
-Kitab Al-Sunnah by Abdullahi Ibn Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal
-Sharh Al Aqeedah Al Tahawiyah by Ibn Abi Izz
-Sheikhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah's golden trio Aqeedtul(Hamawiyyah, Wasitiyyah and Tadamuriyyah)
-Kitab al-Radd `ala al-Zanadiqa wal-Jahmiyya by Imam Ahmed

And many more

[Al hashimi]
