Muslim Theological Schools

Muslim theological schools are diverse traditions that interpret and understand Islamic beliefs and teachings. Major schools include Sunni and Shia, with Sunni scholars such as Ash'ari and Maturidi focusing on reason and faith, and others like Hanbali emphasizing traditional texts. Shia Islam often follows Imami theology, emphasizing the authority of Imams. These schools differ in their approach to topics like divine justice, free will, and the nature of God's attributes, shaping how Muslims understand their faith. Despite differences, they all share core beliefs in the oneness of God, the prophethood of Muhammad, and the Quran.
