jan 1, 855 - Ibn Kullab

Description:

Abū Muhammad 'Abdullāh bin Sa'īd bin Muhammad bin Kullāb al-Qattān al-Basrī, Ibn Kullab (Arabic: ابن كُلاَّب‎) (d. ca. 241/855) was an early Sunni theologian (mutakallim) in Basra and Baghdad in the first half of the 9th century during the time of the Mihna and belonged, according to Ibn al-Nadim, to the traditionalist group of the Nawabit. Often regarded to be the true founder of the Ash'ari madhab, he was known for his criticism of Jahmis, Mu'tazilis, and Anthropomorphists. He contradicted the Mu'tazili doctrine of Khalq al-Qur'an (Createdness of the Qur'an) by introducing a distinction between the words of God (Kalam Allah) and its realisation. His movement, also called Kullabiyya, merged into Ash'arism, which, along with Maturidism forms the theological basis of Sunni Islam.
