The Ash'ari School is a theological movement within Islam founded by the scholar Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari in the 10th century. It emerged as a response to various philosophical and theological debates, particularly against the Mu'tazila school. The Ash'ari approach emphasizes the importance of divine revelation and the role of reason in understanding faith, advocating for a balance between rational thought and traditional beliefs. The Ash'ari School is known for its teachings on the nature of God, human free will, and the attributes of God. It asserts that while humans have free will, God's omnipotence ultimately governs all actions. This school has significantly influenced Sunni Islamic theology and remains a prominent school of thought among many Muslims today.
