Mâtürîdî ve Nesefî’nin Sûr, Mîzan, Kevser Kavramlarına Dair Yorumlamalarının Karşılaştırılması
Comparison of al-Māturīdī and al-Nasafī's Interpretations of the Concepts of Sūr, Mīzān, Kawthar

Summary/Abstract: Abū l-Muʿīn al-Nasafī, who systematized the Māturīdī kalam school after Abū Manṣūr al-Māturīdī and was the second most apparent name of the school, generally adopted al-Māturīdī’s views and followed in the footsteps of him. Although al-Nasafī generally kept with the line of al-Māturīdī, we observed in our research that he sometimes made interpretations different from al-Māturīdī. Based on this determination, we chose the interpretation differences of al-Māturīdī and al-Nasafī about the afterlife circumstances as the subject of study. We believe that it is a significant issue to reveal the interpretation differences between two prominent names in the school, such as al-Māturīdī and al-Nasafī. In our study, we aimed to reveal the point of view of Māturīdī by determining the differences in the perspectives of these two scholars through sample concepts. In our research, while exercising the literal review and comparison method and comparison, we determined al-Māturīdī’s Ta'wīlāt al-Qur'ān and al-Nasafī’s Tabṣira and Baḥr al-Kalām works as the main references. We tried to capture the different perspectives by researching and comparing the concepts that we determined as the subject of research from the main references. At the end of our study, we determined that Nasafī interpreted some issues related to the afterlife differently from al-Māturīdī. Namely, al-Nasafī understood some concepts such as sūr, mīzān, and kawthar, which al-Māturīdī accepted as representative expression, in the real meaning and thought differently from him on this issue. Considering this interpretation difference, we are of the opinion that the reasons why al-Māturīdī’s different point of view did not reflect on the scholars after him should be emphasized.
