Schools of Islamic theology

See Islamic schools and branches for different schools of thought; see Aqidah for the concept of the different ""creeds"" in Islam; see Ilm al-Kalam for the concept of theological discourse.Schools of Islamic theology are various branches in different schools of thought regarding Islamic creed (ʿAqīdah). According to Muhammad Abu Zahra, Qadariyyah, Jahmites, Murji'ah, Mu'tazila, Batiniyyah, Ash'ari, Maturidi, Athari (also known as Hadith collectors, Hanbalites and their followers Salafiyyah) are the ancient schools of Islamic divinity.The main split between Sunni and Shia Islam was initially more political than theological, but over time theological differences have developed. Still, differences in ""creed"" or aqidah occur as divisions orthogonal to the main divisions in Islam along political or legalistic lines, such that a Mu'tazili might, for example, have belong to the Jafari, Zaidi or even Hanafi school of jurisprudence.
