Understanding the Divine Attributes as a significant part of the ambiguous verses of the Qur'an is، according to most thinkers، among the most challenging issues of the Islamic schools of thought. In order to delve into this issue، the present article makes a critical review of the current division، while touching upon the two general approaches as externalist and rationalist and introducing the approaches of sanctification-consignment and anthropomorphic-corporeal generally entitled as externalist; and Mu‘tazilite-Ash‘rite and Imāmite generally entitled as rationalist.

An Introduction to the Issue of Ta'wil (Interpretation) of Ambiguous Attributes and Approaches in the Quran and Hadith Mohammad Asadi Assistant Professor at the Research Institute of Hawza and University Date Received: 2000/11/23 - Date Accepted: 2000/02/26 Abstract Understanding the verses of Divine attributes, as a significant part of the Quranic ambiguous verses (mutashabihat) according to the belief of most thinkers, is one of the most challenging areas of Islamic schools of thought.
The negation of modality and sufficiency with the literal meanings of the attribute verses can be found in the words of Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari, who considered himself in the middle ground between Mu'tazilite Ta'wil (interpretation) and corporealist Tashbih (anthropomorphism)2.
However, in subsequent centuries, during the theological disputes between the Ash'arites and the Mu'tazilites, through Ash'arite theologians such as al-Baqillani, al-Juwayni, al-Ghazali, and Fakhr al-Razi, it tended towards moderation to a large extent, and the door of rational Ta'wil (interpretation) was opened for many of the attribute verses6.
Rational arguments have found a positive view regarding the non-literal interpretation (ta'wil) of certain verses of attributes; an approach that, with the emergence of later Ash'ari theological scholars such as Baqillani, Juwayni, Ghazali, and Fakhr al-Razi, took a greater distance from the literalist approach1.
However, the extensive and scientific analysis of the issue of interpreting ambiguous (mutashabih) verses in the Ash'ari approach should be studied in the words of al-Ghazali and Fakhr al-Razi3.
