This recognition originates from his joint reference to intellect and divine inspiration with regard to issues in Kal¨¡m in addition to his contributions to the Sunni way of thinking. His balanced use of the intellect and divine inspiration in his solutions for issues of Hid¨¡yat increased his popularity.
