Episode Synopsis

Deviancy in Aqeedah

What Will You Learn In These Last Two Session

Introduction

For every belief that we have spoken about (and those that we haven't covered), there is a deviancy in belief which corresponds to it.

For example, for each of the six pillars of faith, there are deviations which correspond to each of the six pillars.

A History of Deviancy in Aqeedah

The time of prophet hood -- almost no deviancy; primary concern is from the Jews.

The time of the companions -- the appearance of the Qadariyyah, the Khawaarij

- The hadith of Hudhayfah and 'Umar

- The death of 'Umar

- The plots of the munaafiqeen against 'Uthmaan

- The death of 'Uthmaan

- The split of the companions

- The death of 'Ali

The time of the umayyids -- deviancy spreads, but is still in its infancy.

- The consensus about obeying the ruler, and the events which lead to it.

- Ja'd ibn Dirham and Jahm ibn Safwan -- the Jahmiyyah

- Waá¹£il ibn Aá¹­aa (131 AH) and 'Amr ibn 'Ubayd (d. 143 AH) and the beginning of the Mu'tazilah

The time of the 'abbasids (132AH onwards) -- Greek philosophy is translated, and deviancy becomes wide spread, including the names and attributes of Allah.
