Abstract (EN)

Responsibility; It is a concept that Muslim theologians deal with within the framework of human responsibility and obligation. Ash'arite theologians explained their views by basing awareness of responsibility on the Quran. They made knowing responsibility a condition of being in touch with Revelation. While expressing their opinions about human responsibility, Ash'arites emphasized that Allah is the only creator, emphasizing His knowledge, will and power. The concept of God constructed by Ash'ari thinkers permeated the perception of responsibility towards humans, and the position of humans was evaluated in terms of the absolute sovereignty of Allah. The human will is tied to the divine will, and the possibility of choice is partially limited. However, Ash'arites also emphasized the effectiveness of mankind in the perception of responsibility by using rational evidence to support or explain transmitted evidence. The relationship between God-the universe-mankind is examined from the perspective of the idea of continuous creation, and the idea that God intervenes in the earth at every moment is defended. The role of mankind in his actions and whether he chooses his actions with his free will has been discussed by Kalam schools. Ash'arites evaluated the issue on the basis of human actions, seeing God's will as the determining cause of everything in the world. In order to open a field of responsibility for people, they developed the kasb theory and tried to clarify the issue. As with other theological schools, Ash'arites have also undergone change and transformation in the process, influenced by the socio-cultural and political context in which they interacted and the mentality of their members.
