🧵 𝐃𝐨 𝐀𝐬𝐡ʾ𝐚𝐫ī𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌ā𝐭𝐮𝐫ī𝐝ī𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬? 𝐅𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭 One of the most commonly repeated tropes you hear from the opponents of Sunnī orthodoxy are the “fabricated” works that are allegedly the basis for the Sunnī creed. In light of this phenomena, let’s have some fun... by applying the false conditions they mandate on our works onto their books, the books of the Ashʾarī and Māturīdī kalām schools. Their creedal works consist of manuscripts with no chains, dates, unknown scribes and narrators, and sometimes even liars!
