List of Atharis

Atharis or Ahl al-Athar are those who adhere to the creed of Atharism (Traditionalism)^[1] theology, which originated in the 8th century CE from the Hanbali scholarly circles of Ahl al-Hadith. The name derives from "tradition" in its technical sense as a translation of the Arabic word "athar".^[2] The Athari school is one of three schools of doctrine in Islam alongside the Ash'ari creed and the Maturidi creed. Atharis are against the usage of metaphorical interpretation^[3] such as regarding the revealed attributes of God, and they do not make attempts to conceptualize the meanings of the Quran in a rational manner.^[4]

The Atharis became affiliated with the Hanbalis^[5] throughout the years as their doctrine originated from there, but they were mostly also affiliated with Wahhabism^[6] and the Salafi movement.^[6]
