Abul Muin-Nesefi human actions (Efalu'l-ipad)

The acts of human beings are the human conducts that reflect on behaviours due to the incentives and incitements caused by different reasons for which humans in itself play role and being a factor by his own free will. As this problem is associated with the topics related to "Fate" in the history of Kalam, it is typically evaluated together with fate problems in Kalam Works. The acts of human beings problem is, in essence, formed around two main opinion groups. One of them is the view asserting that human beings are lacked of power and will to act and correspondingly they can not be held responsible for his acts. Proponents of this wiew use Qur'an, Hadiths and Reason as base. Cehmiyyah and some Murji'ah currents are the exponents for this view. The other view is advocated by primarily Mu'tazilah. By grounding on the mentioned sources It asserts that human beings are the creator of their acts, do acts by his own power and will and the God never interferes in those acts. According to this doctrine, human beings must be creator of their own acts and execute his acts by his own free will to be responsible for his own acts. In this way operation of creating act for responsibility is related with human beings. On the other hand, Ahl as-Sunnah wa'l-jama'ah, pioneered by Salafiyya, Ash'ariyyah and Maturidyyah, puts forward a concilliatory idea that asserting responsibility of human beings results from the acts of his own actions. In other words they are realized by the free will of human beings albeit they are acted originally by the power of the God. These views are termed by the Kalam historians as Cehmiyyah, Mu'tazilah and Ahl as-Sunnah (Salafiyya-Ash'ariyyah-Maturidiyyah) as in progress of time ideas have become systematic. In this study we, in the context of views of Abu al –Mu'în al-Nasafi, approach the acts of human beings in a way to address modern world of thought and in accordance with the main sources.
