APPROACH OF EBÛ HANIFE ON THE PROBLEM OF DIVINE ATTRIBUTES

Abstract

Author(s): Celal BÜYÜK

The subject of divine adjectives is a discussion field that expresses God's identity, qualities and influences, personalizes the God in the context of his glory, and guides the contact between him and what he created. Mankind wants to recognize this existence that he/she believes and talk about it. To resolve this desire, mankind applies to different qualities and adjectives that describe the difference of God from the beings in the visible world. Moreover, the names and the attributes of God are the basic points that determine the phenomenon of tawhid and organize it. In the historical period, on the subject of proving the tawhid, proving has been done moving completely from the points of names and attributes. Because, names and attributes are also of great importance in terms of indicating the line of faith that is to be followed up or to be adhered to as well as to reveal fundamental religious thought. According to Ebû Hanife that divided the divine attributes into two parts for the first time as inherent and actual, the God has existed and will exist with His attributes and names. None of the names and attributes of him are afterwards. Our main goal in this article is to determine what attributes Ebû Hanife imposed on God and try to reveal how to approach problems related to attributes.
