Everyone of the above mentioned individuals made every effort to take part in the interpretation of the Holy Qur'an according to his own view in understanding its contents and meanings, along with that first produce and its consequences. The life of the society had developed together with its political, economical, social and financial needs which dealt with the affairs of rule, finance, trade, judgement, inheritance, marriage, divorce and, so on.

A great many cases, which had arose, dealt with the affairs of worship, such as: cleanliness, uncleanliness, residence, travel, doubts when reciting prayer, etc. Due to the above mentioned cases, Muslims, because of being in need of verdict and legal opinions, witnessed that the expansion of jurisprudence knowledge had spread in vast dimensions. Meanwhile, the first fruits of the deducing process had started developing in the hands of some of the Prophet's companions.

At this point in time, the initial beginnings of writing down jurisprudence (fiqh) had occured; as it was narrated that Abu Rafi` - a servant of Allah's Prophet (s.a.w.) - had written a first book on inheritance. Thus, the beginnings of the great diligence and ideological yield, in both fields, (i.e., jurisprudence and interpretation) had begun soon after the demise of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.).

However, the haste for understanding the Holy Qur'an and traditions of the Prophet - due to some people who had taken up such a significant task - was going to produce mistakes and lead to various imaginings about the affairs of belief and theology, as well as, those topics that might closely relate to such cases which dealt with: following the right way, going astray, compulsion and choice, fatalism, reward and punishment, etc.

The seeds of disagreement had been sown, early, in matters of belief and verdict together with the interpretation to form bases and starting points for the ideological, jurisprudential, and interpretive schools. So, the horizons of jurisprudence, interpretation and matters of belief had become broader in scope.

The doctrine of Solitary People (al-Mu`tazalah) - i.e., a sect of theologians who disagree with Sunnis on some matters of belief - was coming to the forefront in the second half of the first century of the Hegira; along with the ideological line which had been undertaken by the Prophet's Household (Ahlul-Bait) and their followers.
