Özet:

Mâtürîdî is one of the most important thinkers in the history of Islamic thought. He is the most powerful figure in Ebû Hanîfe School and has the biggest share in the establishment of followers of Sunnah kalam. Like All Muslim theologians (mutakallimun) Mâtürîdî's basic evidence used to know the existence of God has been hudûth evidence. This evidence which developed by mutakallimun not only endeavor to prove the existence of God but also is a product of mutakallimun's efforts to understand and interpret the universe as a whole. The universe which was set forth via hudûth evidence with all parts including movement, time and space, is hadith (created), that is were created from nothing and afterwards. Consisting of finite units the universe has a beginning and an end. The universe consists of essence (cevher) and attribute (araz) has lived a process of constant change and transformation (formed-disruption). To sum up the mutakallimun accepted the universe as a work of God and they have tried to demonstrate the need for a creator (muhdis) of the universe. The primary objective of this study is to examine about argument of hudûth (creation) used by Mâtürîdî to prove the existence of God. In other words this article draws attention to the seeking concerning issues such as the existence of God and God-universe relationship in the Mâtürîdî's cosmological argument (argument of hudûth) context.
