أثر الاعتزال في الجانب الكلامي عند ابن جنى

Abstract EN

h had many linguists whose opinions and views were influenced by the Muʿtazilah doctrine.

Among those prominent figures was Ibn Jinnī the linguist.

So, the research is titled, "Effect of Iʿtizāl on Theological Thought of Ibn Jinnī".

The research concludes that Ibn Jinnī was one of the strongest advocates of the Muʿtazilah doctrine.

He was mentally possessed with the Muʿtazilah tendency, which formed a major part of his personality and belief.

This was attributed to the zeitgeist prevailing in his era along with being a disciple of the senior scholars of the Muʿtazilah doctrine.

His opinions on the Divine Attributes were based on the Muʿtazilah doctrine.

He denied the Attributes of Allah Almighty and refused the interpretation thereof arguing that interpretation is a form of anthropomorphism.

Besides, Ibn Jinnī touched upon the deeds of the servants of Allah and declared his opinion on the same according to the Muʿtazilah doctrine.

He concluded that Allah is not the Creator of the servant's deeds.

Rather, they are the creator of their own deeds.

He also added that Almighty Allah did not create evil.
