Criteria for Receiving Theological Intellect and Philosophical Intellect from Sefat Khabari (Narrated Attributes) from the Perspective of Seyyed Morteza, Ghazi Abdul Jabbar Mutazili and Nasir al-Din Tusi

Monotheism and related issues, such as names and attributes of God, are among the most controversial issues between Islamic sects. The Sefat Khabari (Narrated Attributes) mentioned in the verses and narrations have a special position among the various Islamic sects and have sometimes made the subject of Moshabbehah (Anthropomorphism) or Mojassemah (Corporealism) a means of expelling people from the field of Islam. Apart from many Islamic denominations that differ in the Sefat Khabari, some schools of thought such as theologians and philosophers, despite the similarity of some of their intellectual and doctrinal principles, have expressed different views. In the meantime, we have selected a theologian (Seyyed Morteza) and a philosopher (Nasir al-Din al-Tusi) from the Shiites and a theologian (Ghazi Abdol Jabbar al-Mutazili) from the Sunnis to examine and compare their use of philosophical and theological intellect in discussing the Sefat Khabari. Although these scholars accepted the Sefat Khabari and believed in interpreting them, the methods of each in starting and ending issues, as well as reasoning and interpreting are different and have very subtle differences that are examined in this article. The method used in this paper is descriptive-analytical.
