Atharī Creed
A transmitted methodology that restricts itself to the wording of revelation and the reports of the Salaf, avoiding unnecessary speculation.
Articles
- Atharism is not a rejection of reason; rather, it is a restriction against using speculative reason to reinterpret revelation.
- The approach does not deny the attributes of Allāh; it affirms them exactly as they appear in the texts.
- It is not synonymous with literalism (ẓāhirism) but rather with following the understanding of the Salaf.
