Abstract:
Shiite Mutazilis are some of Shiite theologians who had Itizali ideas before bcoming Shiites. Abu Isa Warraq، Ibn Ravandi، Ibn Qibah Razi، Ibn Momallek Isfahani and Ibn Fasanjas were among the figures of this group of theologians. They adopted the Imamis’ ideas with knowledge of the theological system of Mutazilis and they tried to defend and explain the theological doctrines of Imamis. This attempt brought with it changes in the thoughts of Imamiah، directing them towards Itizali thoughts. The paper is concerned with an investigation and verification of this thesis. It seems that the scholarly community of Imamis often had a positive view about Shiite Mutazilis، but all of them cannot be treated in the same way. Two of the most prominent figures of this current—Abu Isa Warraq and Ibn Ravandi—were heirs of Imamis’ theology in Kufa with anti-Mutazili tendencies. The emphasis on the intellectual foundation of Imamiah، that is، the issue of Imamat، constituted the center of the ideas of Shiite Mutazilis، but this common feature was not necessarily followed by the same theological approach among them regarding monotheism and theodicy.
Machine summary:
Two prominent figures of this movement, namely Abu Isa al-Warraq and Ibn Rawandi, are in some way heirs to Imami kalam in Kufa and possess anti-Mu'tazilite tendencies.
The emphasis on the intellectual foundation of the Imami school, namely the discussion of Imamate, has shaped the main axis of the thought of the Pro-Shiite Mu'tazilites, but this commonality did not necessarily entail a uniform theological approach among them in the domains of Tawhid (Monotheism) and Adl (Justice).
Keywords History of Imami Kalam, Pro-Shiite Mu'tazilites, Abu Isa al-Warraq, Ibn Rawandi, Ibn Qubba, Ibn Mamlak al-Isfahani, Ibn Fanjas.
In discussing the Nawbakhtis and al-Warraq as an analysis of the intellectual system of this period, it can be said that the type of confrontation of the Nawbakhtis with al-Warraq indicates the importance and scientific position of al-Warraq in Imami thought, a point that the reports of the Mu'tazilites reflect well.
The Position and Influence of Ibn al-Rawandi in Imami Theology It seems that after accepting Imami thoughts, over time - especially after death - was accepted by the Imamis (see: Sayyid Murtada (b), 1410, Vol. 2: 143; Qadi Abd al-Jabbar, n.
2. One of the points worthy of examination in this research is that in the period under discussion, a theological current is moving within Shiite thought, of which Ibn Rawandi and Abu Isa Warraq are two famous figures.
On the other hand, there are reports regarding the significant activity of Abu Isa Warraq and Ibn Rawandi, and the thoughts and works of those two held a position among Imami thinkers.
