The Ash'arite school

The Ash'arite school is an Islamic theological tradition that seeks to balance reason and faith. It emphasizes that human understanding has limits and that God's will and attributes are ultimately beyond full human comprehension. Ash'arites believe in divine sovereignty and that God's actions are beyond human questioning, using rational argumentation to interpret religious texts. This approach helped shape Sunni theology, promoting a middle ground between strict rationalism and pure tradition, aiming to uphold trust in God's greatness while maintaining intellectual engagement with faith.
