Abu Mansur Al Maturidi

Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn Mahmud Abu Mansur al-Samarqandi al-Maturidi al-Hanafi (Arabic: محمد بن محمد بن محمود أبو منصور الماتريدي السمرقندي الحنفي, [[Turkish: Ebu Mansur el-Matüridî) (d. 333 AH / 944 CE) was a Muslim Turkish theologian.

Born in Maturid near Samarqand, he was educated in Muslim theology and juristic sciences.

His Teachers were Abu Nasr Ahmed b. Abbas b. Husayin al-Iyazi, Abu Bakr Ahmed b. Ishak b. Salih el-Juzjani (writer from Al-Farq wat Tamyiz),Nusayr b. Yahya al-Balkhi and Qadilqudat Muhammad b. Mukatil ar-Razi.

Abu Nasr al-Iyazi was his Teacher and Friend. Abu Bakr al-Juzjani was the pupil of Abu Sulayman Musa b. Sulayman el-Juzjani which was the pupil of Imam Abu Yusuf and Imam Muhammad Ash-Shaybani. Muhammad b. Mukatil did learn from Imam Muhammad as-Shaybani too.

Abu Mansur al-Maturidi wrote mostly against other sects, mainly Mu'tazilis, Qarmati, and Shi'a.

His theology is almost identical to that of Ash'aris. His followers are chiefly those of areas where the Hanafi school of law is prevalent, such as Turkey, Afghanistan, Central Asia, Pakistan and India.
