Abstract (EN)

This study aims to design the divinity imagination of the great scholar Abu Mansur al-Maturidi and compares him with other theologians for the purpose of bringing to light hisoriginal opinions.Essentially, Islam?s divinity imagination has been desinged by the Holly Koran, also ithas been declared the existence of Allah, His oneness and attributes enough. However, somediscussions have arisen from the meaning problems of the religious language, socio-culturalenvironments foreign religions and philosophical schools. Some of these discussions havebeen made among theologians and some of them with foreign religions and cultures. So, it hasbeen needed to defend the faith of Allah which is centrally Koran and Sunnah. In thisenvironment, we meet Abu Mansur al-Maturidi who has lived in 10th century. He tries todesign the fundamentals of Islamic faith, also prove and defend them.Maturidi has shaped the divinity imagination by direction of his epistemology, so, hehas based it on the intellect, senses and information. According to scolar, the senses give ussome certainly knowledge and the information which is alone or widespread too. As forintellect, we can control our sensorial and informative knowledge by it. Here by Maturidiproofs the existence of Allah with cosmological and theological arguments. He doesn?tclassify the detailed divine attributes but accepts them befitting Allah?s dignity. As well, hesays that he accepts the divine attributes are ancient and extant with Allah.The scolar separates from anthropomorphists because of their bodily and similitudebelieving. He also separates from Mu?tezilah because of their isolationist attitudes. Finally,he different thinks Ash?ariyah about creativity and acting attributes. According to Maturidi allattributes are ancient and extant with Allah.Keywords: Allah, God, Proof of God, Divine Attributes, Koran, Kalam, Maturidi
