Description

This paper considers critical modern shīʻī arguments against admitting the influence of Muʻtazilī thought on al-Mufīd and his disciples, and demonstrates the place of Khāmene'ī, the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, as a jurist and theologian of the school that goes back to al-Shaykh al-Mufīd. Regarding the place of al-Mufīd in Shīʻī history, opinions differ between western and Shīʻī scholars. According to a common view held by western scholars, al-Mufid was a Shīʻī rationalist scholar, who introduced Muʻtazilī principles and doctrines into Shīʻah, or was at least strongly influenced by them. Khāmene'ī critically denies this opinion and insists that al-Mufid was the founder of the middle ground school between the traditional school in Qom and the rational school in Baghdad. Khāmene'ī's denial of the influence of the Muʻtazilah on al-Mufīd, and consequently later Shīʻī scholars is regarded as the authentic view among modern shīʻī scholars. While Khāmene'ī is generally regarded as a conservative or fundamentalist, we must re-examine him as a middle ground jurist and theologian of the school of al-Mufīd.
