Özet

The theological interpretations and teachings of Imam Maturidi play a crucial role in the systematic formulation of the foundations of faith. In his book "Tawilat Al-Quran" and "Kitab al-Tawhid", the eminent scholar provides a comprehensive analysis of fundamental concepts essential for Islamic thought, including discussions on knowledge and wisdom, the oneness of God, the afterlife and the principles of husn and qubh (goodness and evil). The article explores the methodological foundations of the concepts of husn and qubh in the theological doctrine of Imam Maturidi, assessing their role and significance within Islamic philosophical thought. Additionally, it examines the theological basis of these concepts and their integration into the ethical value system of Islam. The study also elucidates the correlation between reason and revelation, which is a fundamental principle of Maturidi’s doctrine within this conceptual framework. In this context, the article discusses the linguistic and scientific definitions of husn and qubh, their religious and philosophical features, their recognition through reason and their discussion among different theological schools. Additionally, the role of this concept in the formation and development of ethical notions within the Islamic worldview is analyzed. Imam Maturidi’s views are analyzed in comparison with the Ash’ari and Mu’tazilah schools, highlighting both their commonalities and differences. Additionally, the understanding of husn and qubh in the Kazakh worldview is explored through the perspectives of Abai, Shakarim and Mashhur Zhusip.
