of the Mu'tazilah<br />
Mu'tazilah comes from the word, ' I'tazaal', i.e., 'to<br />
withdraw.' The group is named such because its founder<br />
'Waasil Ibn Ataa' withdrew ( I'tazala) from the study<br />
circles of Hassan al-Basri after proposing an innovative<br />
idea on the status of Muslims who commit major sins (i.e.<br />
whether they are believers or disbelievers). From then on<br />
the Mu'tazilah deviated further and increased in<br />
misguidance under the influence of Ilmul-Kalaam in<br />
many issues of belief;<br />

Mu'tazilah<br />
I) Tawheed (Oneness of Allah) which according to the<br />
Mu'tazilah is complete denial of Allah's Attributes.<br />
Their theory of belief concerning Allah's Names is<br />
approval <strong>by</strong> the tongue and rejection <strong>by</strong> the heart; i.e., they<br />
merely affirm the Names without affirming any meaning for<br />
them. For example, they affirm <strong>by</strong> the tongue that Allah is<br />
'As-Samee (All-Hearer),' but reject True Hearing for Him.<br />
