The Concept of Moderation in the Perspective of Aqidah Asy'ariyyah
Keywords:
Moderation, Creed, Asya'riyahAbstract
Asya'riyah is the following of Abu Hasan Ali bin Isma'il al-Asyari, which is a theological school of thought followed by the majority of Muslims in the world. They prioritize a moderate approach to theology, utilizing rational methods and sacred texts as sources for their discourse. They regard reason as a servant to textual evidence. Initially, the Asyariyyah only dealt with theology, but their followers developed their thinking to uphold their creed and harmonize reason with revelation. Asya'riyah always seeks to find a balance between textualism and reason, striving to discover an actual and relevant equilibrium in the concepts they have formulated. This research employs a descriptive critical analysis method, which describes moderation according to Asya'riyah and then conducts analytical-critical analysis to scrutinize ideas and concepts. The research findings indicate that the application of the concept of moderation in Asya'riyah's creed encompasses: 1) The fusion of reason and text; 2) The concept of attributes between Shifatiah Mujassimah and Musyabbihah; 3) Understanding of khabariyah attributes amidst tafwid, tasybih, and tajsim; 4) Free will, between Jabariyah and Qodariyah through the theory of kasb.
