%X Ijm¨¡ is ranked as the third shariah evidence after the Qur¡¯¨¡n and Sunnah in the science of U£¿¨±l . Shafi was the first one who made U£¿¨±l which had been known and used by the Islamic scholars, into a written document and who ascertained that Ijm¨¡ was the third of the shariah evidences. Kal¨¡m is one of the sciences in which Ijm¨¡ evidence is used. The scholars of Kal¨¡m used this evidence as far as the science of U£¿¨±l made it possible. They always used it without changing any basics of religious beliefs and acceptances. That the aqidah of Ahl al-Sunnah has been supported with Ijm¨¡ which is regarded as one of naqly evidences, played an important role in eliminating suspicions which were tried to be aroused in momins¡¯ mind. In this article, the function and importance of Ijm¨¡ evidence, which is one of the primary sources of the science of U£¿¨±l , in the science of Kal¨¡m and Aqidah of Ahl al-Sunnah has been studied. Summary What the Qur¡¯¨¡n demands from us is to emphasize the spirit of unity among ummah and to keep out the factors that could trigger separation and division. Indeed, Allah emphasizes in the following verses in the Qur¡¯¨¡n on the protection of the unitary structure of the ummah: ¡°And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided¡± (¨¡l a-Imr¨¡n 3/103) and ¡°And do not be like the ones who became divided and differed after the clear proofs had come to them¡± (¨¡l al-Imr¨¡n 3/105). Allah has commanded the Ulul ¡®Azm Prophets to hold the religion upright and to avoid division. (al-Sh¨±r¨¡ 42/13). The command of holding the religion upright and not to be divided in this religion means to certify what needs to be confirmed in the religion of Allah and to obey those that must be obeyed. This is also the proclamation of the principle of religion that all the prophets have consensus over. Ahl al-Sunnah understanding of Islam is identical to the understanding of the Prophet and his companions. For this reason, Ahl al-Sunna is the school that represents the main backbone of Islam. In Ahl al-Sunna, in many subjects, be it us¨±l£¿ / primary or fur¨±¡¯¨© / secondary, there has been ijm¨¡. These ijm¨¡s are Sahaba ijm¨¡s and deductive ijm¨¡s that come from mutakallim¨±n (theologians) ijtih¨¡ds. Therefore, ijm¨¡ and ijtih¨¡d are closely connected to each other. Ijm¨¡ is supported by ijtih¨¡d and ijtih¨¡d is also the source of ijm¨¡. Thus, the issue is no longer just a pure ijtih¨¡d; it turns out to be a degree that gives a solid knowledge after it has risen to some degree just after the nass/texts. Ahl al- Sunnah theologians are talking about two kinds of ijm¨¡. The
