The Ash'ari school of thought is a theological framework within Islam that emerged in the 10th century. Founded by Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari, it seeks to reconcile Islamic faith with rational thought. The Ash'aris emphasize the importance of divine revelation while also acknowledging the role of reason in understanding God and the universe. This school of thought is known for its belief in the attributes of God being real but not comparable to human attributes. Ash'ari scholars argue that faith is a gift from God and that human reason has limitations when it comes to comprehending divine matters.
