A Grain of Truth Is to Be Found in the Jabriyya and Mu‘Tazila
O seeker after truth! The Shari‘a differentiates between the past and disasters, and the future and sins. Divine determining is looked to in connection with the past and calamities,
and the word is the Jabriyya’s. Human accountability is considered concerning the future and sins; then the word is the Mu‘tazila’s. The Mu‘tazila and Jabriyya
are reconciled here. Both these false schools contain a grain of truth; those grains have a particular place; they are false when made general.
