Ebu Saîd Hadimi and his approach to aqidah

Hâdimî, came from an educated family with a learning-tradition in the Hadim district of Konya. He started his first education there after studying various sciences in different countries. Thereafter he returned to his country and established his madrasah. His interest in kalaam can be seen in his works he has written. Hâdimî gave Akâid and kalaam lessons in the education centre, adhering to the tradition of Ottoman madrasah. He is a defender of Ahl al-Sunnah. When he was working on a subject, he included the opinions of different madhhabs and scholars in his works, defended his preferred thoughts and tried to put forward the reasons for legitimacy. Getting someone's an opinion does not imply that you internalize someone's point of view. Hâdimî did not hesitate to criticize them and to point their mistakes. However, he generally adopted the views of Imam Mâtürîdî (333/944 CE) In our thesis, we will try to present his thoughts on Akâid and Kalaam by considering some of his works, although not all his works.
