Maturidi theology

Maturidi theology is a school of Islamic thought that emphasizes reason and logic alongside faith. Founded by Imam Abu Mansur Al-Maturidi, it advocates understanding God through both divine revelation and human intellect. Maturidis believe that humans can use reason to discern moral values, understand God's attributes, and grasp Islamic teachings. They promote the idea that faith and reason complement each other, encouraging believers to seek understanding without undermining divine authority. This approach has historically helped shape Sunni Islamic beliefs, balancing reliance on scripture with the use of rational thought to deepen faith.
