[Sayfullah]

Ahlus-Sunnah are the righteous group that carries the banner of Islam.

Asharies and Maturidies are lables that were given to scholars that follow the methodology of tow great scholars of Islam; Imam Abulhasan Al-Ashariy and Imam Abu Mansoor Al-Maturidy.

These Great scholars, when many sects emerged, were the ones to confront them by the Islamic and Intellectual Proves. Especially the Ash^ariy, he had ended the fitna of the Mu^tazila at his time.

Asharies are like Imam Nawawiy, Ibn Hajar Al-^asqalani, Al-Bayhaqiy and many many others.

Maturidies, are Followers of Imam Abu Mansoor Al-Maturidi. They are same as Asharies, however they differed in furoo^ issues not in Usool (aqeeda). Maturidies are like Imam Abu Ja^far at-Tahawiy and Imam An-Nasafiy and many others that are from the Hanafy school (Madhehab).

Intellectual proves are the proves that comply with the sound mind.

^ilm al Kalam is talking about Allah and his attributes and befits and does not befit the attributes of Allah. To provide evidence to the accuracy of such knowledge, intellectual proves (Adilla ^aqliyah) are used to support that.

EX: Prophet Ibrahim used that kind of knowledge. When he told the worshipers of the Planet, he told them: That's what you claim who my lord is?? Meaning how could that be! Than he said: It disappeared! How could it be a Lord!.

He proved to them that the planets moves and changes, and Allah is clear from such attributes that's why he said "Inni la 'uhibul-'afileen".

Allah knows best.
