The Mu’tazilah arose in the beginning of the second century hijrah and carried the innovations of the Khawaarij (takfir and khurooj), the Qadariyyah (denial of Allah’s mashee’ah and khalq for the actions of the servants), and the Jahmiyyah (denial of the attributes of Allaah). The latter innovation was carried by the Mu’tazilah upon Greek philosophical conceptual baggage (known as ilm al-kalam). This ilm al-kalaam was subsequently transmitted from the Mu’tazilah to the Muslim Ummah through the route of the Rafidi Mujassimah, the Ash’arites and the Maturidis. The Mu’tazilah and all the factions of kalam operate on the premise of conflict between reason and revelation and therefore attempt to qualify revelation through pure reason (without resort to the Sunnah or consensus of the Salaf). The reliance upon pure reason alone led the Mu’tazilah to reject many foundations of Islam and the Sunnah as well as committing transgression upon the Muslim nation including the murder of thousands of illustrious Scholars in the 3rd century hijrah.
