Dhat dan Sifah Tuhan dalam Konsep Tauhid Mu‘tazilah
Abstract: In Islamic thought,
Mu‘tazilah has been classified as a rational form of current of thought. This
paper is interested in exploring in a deeper manner this Mutazilite rationalism
be referring specirfically to its concept of tauhid. We argue that Mu‘tazilah is
concerned simply with presenting this concept in its purest form. Hence, they
reject the notion of God having similarity with His creatures (tashbîh) and of
Him having earthly body (tajsîm). Interestingly however, the Muktzilah is not
always consistent with this general hypothesis, and argue for example that the
attributes of God–like His words, the Qur’an–are created (makhlûq). We will try
to expose that inconsistence as part of our critique to the Mu‘tazilah. The
paper will also discuss proportionately the problems of tawh îd rubûbîyah and
tauhid al-dhât wa al-s ifah, of which the Mu‘tazilah has given reasonably
especial attention. With regard to tauhid ulûhîyah, the paper will only speak
in general terms considering that the concept has not recived a clear
explanation of the Mu‘tazilah. We understand nonetheless that this latter
concept is about a rasional argumentation concerning the existence of God.
