Maturidi

In Islam, a Maturidi (Arabic: ماتريدي) is one who follows Abu Mansur Al Maturidi's systematic theology, which is close to the Ash'ari theology (Aqidah). The term also denominates the School of Kalaam, or systematic theology, of those who follow Al-Maturidi's theology. In this article, the term "Maturidis" will refer to the adherents of this School. The Maturidis and Ash'aris are the two principal schools of Kalaam that are recognized by Sunni Islam, which includes the overwhelming majority of Muslims.
