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 />

1. Five innovated Usool (principles) of the<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 />
