The Asharites and the Maturides in Shiraz

There was another theological school that rivaled the Asharites. The Maturides were named after a founding figure of the 10th century, in this case Abu Mansoor Al-Maturidi. Members of these rival schools engaged in particularly intense debate with one another. Avasennan ideas gave Al-Iji and those influenced by him,. the edge they needed to prevail in these disputes.
