Al-Ibanah an Usul ad-Diyanah
الإبانة عن أصول الديانة
A creedal work by the founder of the Ash'ari school, written after his famous departure from Mu'tazili theology. In this text, al-Ash'ari explicitly aligns himself with the creed of Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal and the Ahl al-Hadith, affirming divine attributes without ta'wil (figurative interpretation). The work is significant for understanding the development of Ash'ari theology and its original proximity to the Athari position.
