Özet:

The subject of divine attributes have been attracted the attention of every scholar because of their centrality in the concept of monotheism (tawhid). In particular, the ongoing discussions within the framework of the relationship between attribute and person have made the subject more interesting. Shams al-Dīn al-Samarqandī is one of those who discussed the subject of God's attributes in his own time. In this article, our main goal is to determine the attributes that Shams al-Dīn al-Samarqandī attributed to Allāh, to point out the place of divine attributes classification in Islamic thought and to reveal how to develop an approach to problems arising from attributes. For this reason, in this descriptive study, we will analyze not only the content of the document but also the content of the author. It is understood that Al-Samarqandī analyzed and classified the attributes in almost every book. He divided the attributes into two groups as existī and ʿadimī. In addition, he distinguished the existī attributes as ḥāqiqī (true) and iḍafī (relative). Moreover, he did not count the subjective attributes by including the actual attributes in the relative attributes as did al-Māturīdī. Al-Samarqandī disagreed with al-Ashʿarī's view that the actual attributes were true.
