The Clarity of Faith in Māturīdīs Thought

This research is based on the basic views and assumptions of the Māturīdīs in the field of faith, and discusses whether this understanding allows the belief that faith can be handled on an implicit, closed basis. The Māturīdīs, who regard the belief as the most beautiful and valuable of those that can be reasoned, regard it as a rational necessity to believe in Allah. For them, the basic condition of responsibility is reason, and the truth of faith can only be known through thinking and reasoning.

According to the Māturidī thought, faith is seen as the understanding, acceptance, and affirmation of certain things that come from God. Certainty and openness are an important element in faith according to the Maturid？s. The same certainty and openness must also be reflected in the belief of the individuals as well. The faith of the believer should be as firm, clear and transparent as possible. According to Māturidī, who regards faith as a mental necessity, it is also possible to know the beauty of the beings through intellect, as
