Abū Hāshīm al-Jubbā'ī was aMu'tazili theologian. He was born in 888 inBasra, and died in 933 inBaghdad. He was the son ofAbū 'Alī Muḥammad al-Jubbā'ī, a prominent Mu'tazila scholar who was also the teacher ofAbu al-Hassan al-Ash'ari.[1]
His main teacher in theology was his own father. After the latter's death in 915, he became the leader of the Mutazilite school of Basra. Around 926, he had to leave for Baghdad because of his poverty. Later his thoughts were known to be associated with theBahshamiyya movement, a sub-school of Mu'tazilism.[1]
He is known for having introduced the theory of modes (ahwal) into theology. This theory is intended to explain the nature of the divine attributes. It will be taken up by other theologians, not only Mutazilites, but also from the rivalAsh'arite school, likeAl-Baqillani. Abû 'Alî ibn Khallâd and Abû 'Abdullâh al-Husain ibn 'Alî al-Basrî were his students.[1][2]
