Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Wahabism and Monotheism الوهابيه و التوحيد Chp 2 Trends Towards Verses and Hadiths of Divine Attributes ( 27 ) Since first century four or more schools were originated due to the Sunnis' engagement in admissibility in hadiths of Allah's optical seeableness. These ideological schools were come forth a long time before emergence of their jurisprudential schools.

Up to now these ideological trends prevailed masters and followers of these jurisprudential schools. The first trend is school of interpretation. This school is almostly the nearest to Ahlul-Beit's sect. Its basic sentiment is regarding the decisive Verses of Allah's oneness such as (Nothing like a likeness of Him;) and (Visions comprehend him not.) as the base of promoting Allah the Exalted against unfitting affairs.

It also tends to represent any text signaling at Allah's corporeality or optical seeableness in a way harmonizing intellectual judgments and other Quranic and prophetic texts. It seems that followers of this school are forming the majority among the former as we ass the recent Sunni scholars. Philosophers and Mutazilites enter under this class. It is the trend adopted by Ahlul-Beit; the Prophet's household (peace be upon them). The second trend is school of commendation.

Followers of this school abstain from construing Quranic and prophetic texts respecting the divine attributes. They commend their meanings to God. This trend is followed by most of the former narrators and few of the recent. The third trend is school of extrinsic meanings. Followers of this school suspend the extrinsic meanings of the divine texts. They believe that Allah the Exalted has material hand face leg and rim. Christians and Jews adopt this trend.

Ka'bulAhbar Wahab Bin Munebbih and their associates took the task of publicizing this trend among Muslims. It became the formal trend adopted by Ahlul-Beit stands for the Prophet's progeny, and their sect is Shism. ( 28 ) the ruling regimes in the Umayid reign. Hanbalites as well as part of the Asharists adopted that trend. Ibn Teimiya and Wahabists attempted at attaching this trend to the worthy ancestors and Sunnis. The fourth trend is school of commuters vacillators and the perplexed.

Models of such three categories have been rendered in our Al-Aqa'idulIslamiya Volume One.
