Mujarrad Maqalat al-Shaykh Abi al-Hasan al-Ash'ari (Arabic:مجرّد مقالات الشيخ أبي الحسن الأشعري,lit. 'Summary of Shaykh Abi al-Hasan al-Ash'ari's Treatises/Articles') is an Islamic theological book written by theShafi'i-Ash'ari scholarIbn Furak (d. 406/1015), in which he gives a summary of the views, ideas and opinions of theSunni scholarAbu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari (d. 324/935), the theologian after whom the Ash'ari school of theology is named.[1][2]
This work is considered as one of the most important and essential sources of theAsh'ari school of Islamic theology.[3]
The work is a methodical exposition of the teaching of al-Ash'ari, written some sixty years after his death.[4] It contains several topics on theological issues inIslam, and other topics that are fundamentals in dialogue, such as demonstration, refutation, evidence and citation. Towards the end of the book is a chapter dedicated to the ethics of disputation (adab al-jadal).[5]
وكغيره من الدارسين كتب المستشرق الهولندي بترس قراءة تقديمية واحتفائية في أهمية كتاب مجرّد مقالات الشيخ أبي الحسن الأشعري، تضمن تأطيرًا عامًّا للكتاب، ومناقشة جزئية للغاية في مسألة نسبة الكتاب لأبي بكر ابن فورك التي تردّد فيها النَّاشر جيماريه ولم يبدِ فيها اطمئنانًا مقنعا له قبل القارئ، ولعلها مسألة لم ينتبه إليها عموم الدارسين والباحثين رغم خطورتها بنسبةلعمل يعدّ، دون شك، أهم مصدرٍ من مصادر الأشعرية؛ سوى إن استثنينا قلَّة منهم تنبهوا لمداها، معززينَ ما جنح إليه بترس بأدلة أشد وثاقة وقوة.
The other major work of Ibn Furak is his Mujarrad maqalat al-Ash'ari, which is a methodical exposition of the teaching of the master. This treatise, written some sixty years after the death of Ash'ari, represents an invaluable source of information on the thought of one of Islam's greatest theologians.
