The Mu'tazilah: The Zoroastrians of this Ummah in the matter of divine decree
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Do the Mu'tazilah, in their affirmation that the servant creates his own action, count as those who associate partners with Allah in lordship?
Answer:
They are called the Zoroastrians of this Ummah; the Mu'tazilah are the Zoroastrians of this Ummah. This is because the Zoroastrians affirmed two creators: a creator of light and a creator of darkness. As for the Mu'tazilah, they affirmed two creators alongside Allah: every person creates his own action. In this respect, they are more misguided than the Zoroastrians.
