Maḥmūd al-Samarḳandī (853–944 CE; ), often referred to as Abū Manṣūr al-Māturīdī for short, or reverently as Imam Māturīdī by Sunni Muslims , was a Sunni Hanafi jurist , theologian , and scriptural exegete from ninth-century Samarkand who became the eponymous codifier of one of the principal orthodox schools of Sunni theology , the Maturidi school, which became the dominant theological school for Sunni Muslims in Central Asia and later enjoyed a preeminent status as the school of choice for both the Ottoman Empire and the Mughal Empire . He was from a place called Maturid in Samarqand ( Uzbekistan ), and was known as Shaykh al-Islam , and the "Imam of Guidance" (Imam al-Huda). He was one of the two foremost Imams of the Ahl al-Sunnah in his time, along with al-Ash'ari in matters theological. In contrast to Ashʿarī (d. 936), the founder of one of the other major orthodox Sunni theological schools, Maturidi adhered to the doctrine of Abū Ḥanīfa (d. 772) as transmitted and elaborated by the Hanafi theologians of Balkh and Transoxania . It was this theology which Maturidi systematized and used to refute not only the opinions of the Mutazilites , the Karramites , and other heterodox groups, but also non-Muslim theologies such as those of Chalcedonian Christianity , Miaphysitism , Manichaeanism , Marcionism , and Bardaisanism .

Maḥmūd al-Ḥanafī al-Māturīdī al-Samarqandī ( ; 853–944 CE), often referred to as Abū Manṣūr al-Māturīdī for short, or reverently referred to as Imām al-Māturīdī by Sunnī Muslims , was a Muslim scholar of Ḥanafī jurisprudence , scriptural exegete , reformer ( mujaddid ), and scholastic theologian ( mutakallim ), renowned for being the eponymous founder of the Māturīdī school of Islamic theology , which became the dominant Sunnī school of Islamic theology in Central Asia , and later enjoyed a preeminent status as the theological school of choice for both the Ottoman Empire and the Mughal Empire . He was from a place called Māturīd or Māturīt in Samarqand (today Uzbekistan ), and was known during his lifetime as Shaykh al-Islām and Imām al-Hudā ("Leader of Right Guidance"). He was one of the two foremost Imams of the Sunni Islam in his time, along with Abū al-Ḥasan al-Ashʿarī in matters of theological inquiry. In contrast al-Ashʿarī, who was a Shāfiʿī jurist , al-Māturīdī adhered to the eponymous school of jurisprudence founded by Abū Ḥanīfa al-Nuʿmān , and to his creed ( ʿaqīdah ) as transmitted and elaborated by the Ḥanafī Muslim theologians of Balkh and Transoxania . It was this theological doctrine which al-Māturīdī codified, systematized, and used to refute not only the opinions of the Muʿtazilites , the Karramites , and other heterodox groups, but also non-Islamic theologies such as those of Chalcedonian Christianity , Miaphysitism , Manichaeanism , Marcionism , and Bardaisanism .
