		The Mutazilites are widely considered to have extended ijtihad beyond religion into predecessors of what we today know as the scientific process[?].
		Perhaps for this reason, the school was extremely influential, and was not truly extinguished until "The Incoherence of the Philosophers[?]", by Al-Ghazali of the Asharite school, the fiercest opponents of the Mutazilites, became the dominant theory of Islamic thought.
		Mutazilites were forgotten, although their works were translated and some were later influential in the European Renaissance.

		The rise of the Mutazilite school which built on Greek philosophy to challenge the kalam, integrate Plato and Aristotle in particular, and expand the use of ijtihad ("independent thought") to open questions of science and society, and what we today call modern philosophy.
		It is clear that ijtihad had strong influences on the development of the modern scientific method, and that isnah is indistinguishable in form from modern scientific citation.
		There is no question that Aquinas knew of at least some of the Mutazilite work, or that the Renaissance and the use of empirical methods was inspired at least in part by Muslim works taken in Spain in 1492.

		God's transcendentalism is indeed emphasized emphatically by the Mutazilites.
		For the Mutazilites, the principle of Trinity is contrary to God's transcendentalism that stresses nothing similar or identical with God either in His essence or His attributes.
		To defend the Divine justice, the Mutazilites deny the concept or the principle of Divine intercession in the hereafter.

		The main purpose of the Mutazilites was to defend and propagate their particular understanding of Islam against literalists.
		Mutazilite Kalam arose in Islamic circles toward the end of the eighth century.
		Characteristic of Mutazilite works is their division into sections devoted to the unity of God and His justice.

		Although Mutazilism seemed to collapse by the time the Mongols sacked Baghdad in 1258, Mutazilite doctrines (with the exception of their doctrine regarding the caliphate/imamate) were adopted by the Zaydiyya branch of the Shia, which flourished in Yemen, where it still survives.
		Although the Mutazilites are often characterized as heterodox thinkers, their attempt to place Islamic religious belief on a rational basis in conjunction with revelation has found some support among twentieth-century Muslim intellectuals.
		Their detractors, the Mutazilites, accused the Asharites of holding to predestination, and although the later Asharites added the affirmation that humans have choices over their actions, the claim was too qualified to be convincing.

		While the traditionalists had held that human actions became good or bad because God had designated them as such, the Mutazilites maintained that rightness and wrongness were the intrinsic properties of actions, and that they were good or evil even if God had not spoken on the subject.
		The Mutazilites, on the other hand, contended that the Quran was something God had created and it could not therefore be said to partake of His eternity.
		The Mutazilites were now persecuted, or dispersed and, in any case, expelled from forums of Islamic theology, never to surface again except in books of history.

	CHAPTER V
		As for the Mutazilites of the Baghdad school, wanting even more to stress the difference between microscopic and macroscopic extension, they refused to characterize the atom in itself as extension, which could be attributed only to the composition of a body.
		To begin with, that thesis is refuted by the fact that the Mutazilites were one of the first admirers of the ancient wisdom in the Arab Islamic world and played a considerable role in the familiarization of Arabs with the works of ancient philosophers, including Aristotle and his commentators.
		We can confirm, adds Steiner, that the Mutazilites were the first who not only were acquainted with the translations of works by Greek natural scientists and philosophers, done during the reigns of al-Mansur and Al-Mamun, but also employed the process of Greek education and put their own thoughts onto a new road.

		This new school or sect was called Mutazilite or Motazilite (from itazala, to separate oneself, to dissent).
		The works of Ibn Roshd especially became the subject of their study, due in great measure to Maimonides, who, in a letter addressed to his pupil Joseph ibn Aknin, spoke in the highest terms of Ibn Roshd's commentary.
		Modern Islamic philosophy seeks in some respects to renew the dialogue between Mutazilite and Asharite views about ethics in knowledge.

	math lessons - Isnad
		Isnad was influential in the development of disciplined scientific citation as early Muslim philosophy developed and applied Muslim disciplines like isnad and ijtihad and ijma to the natural world.
		Some claim this resulted in the breakthroughs in early Muslim medicine and the Mutazilite school of scientists.
		However, the capacity to cite prior authority so reliably was probably also influential in the rise of the Asharite school, which led to the classical fiqh and taqlid "blind imitation" of prior jurists, and ultimately limited Muslim sciences.

		Both developments occurred, in large measure, as reactions to early schismatic movements, such as the Kharijites, Mutazilites, and Shias.
		The inclusive Sunni definition of a Muslim, for instance, was conceived in reaction to the narrow extremism of the Kharijites.
		The strong Sunni emphasis on God's power, will, and determination of human fate developed in reaction to the Mutazilite insistence on the absolute freedom of the human will.

	DAWN - Opinion; January 13, 2002
		Soon the Qadris, some of whom had been put to death, merged themselves in another school of thought, known as the Mutazilites (“Mutazilah”), initiated by Wasil ibn Ata (Basri’s disciple referred to above).
		Beyond the use of Aristotelian logic in building and evaluating theological formulations, rationalism meant reliance upon sense perception, lessons of experience, and common sense as well as specific pronouncements in the Quran and Sunnah.
		The Mutazilites were now persecuted, killed, or dispersed and, in any case, expelled from forums of Islamic theology, never to surface again except in books of history.

	Husham bin al-Hakam's Argumentation \|\| Imam Reza (A.S.) Network
		Majority of our acquaintances assert that this statement was within a longer one Husham addressed at the Mutazilite who had claimed the Anterior Lord's being a thing unlike ordinary things.
		The whole statement is, "Supposing your claiming the Anterior Lord's being a thing unlike ordinary things, you should say then He is a corporeality unlike ordinary corporealities." It is not necessary that opinions used in refuting a belief, are actually adopted by the refuter.
		It is impractical to scorn his decisive disputation against Mutazilites.
