Özet:

 This study analyses the classification of divine attributes in the Asharite theological system in the historical process. In the historical process, the points of departure of Asharite scholars in the classification of divine attributes and the differences and similarities in the classifications were analysed. Both internal and external criticisms of the Asharite classification have been taken into consideration, and it has been tried to determine whether these criticisms constitute a problem or not. Differences are briefly explained and detailed analyses are avoided. The identification of different classifications in the historical process has an important place in the teaching of divine attributes, which form the basis of the subject of divinity in theological education, in solving the problems related to the classification of attributes and in comprehending logic. In the historical process, the scholars of Ahl al-Sunnah disagreed on whether the attributes should be classified or not. Most of the scholars of Salaf al-Salihin and some theological scholars preferred to deal with the divine attributes under a single heading. However, many theological scholars believed that there is no harm in classifying divine names and attributes and they put forward different classifications of attributes. Our study aims to comprehend the classification of attributes and the logic of Asharite scholars in the historical process. However, since presenting the classifications of divine attributes of all Asharite scholars would exceed the volume of the article, it is sufficient to include the classifications of some prominent Asharite scholars in history. It is aimed to contribute to the classifications of attributes that are widely used today. The study was conducted according to the document analysis method, one of the qualitative research methods, and at the end of the study, it was revealed that the classification in question was compatible and consistent with the theological methods and the theological views of the Asharites.

 Bu çalışmada tarihsel süreçte Eşarî kelâm sisteminin ilâhî sıfatların tasnifi incelenmiştir. Tarihsel süreçte Eşarî alimlerin ilâhî sıfatların tasnifinde hareket noktaları ile tasniflerdeki farklılıklar ve benzerlikler dikkate alınarak analizlerde bulunulmuştur. Eşarîlerin tasnifine hem içerden hem de dışarıdan yapılan eleştiriler göz önüne alınmış, bu eleştirilerin bir sorun oluşturup oluşturmadığı tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Farklılıklar kısaca izah edilmiş ve detaylı analizden kaçınılmıştır. Kelâm eğitiminde uluhiyet konusunun temelini oluşturan ilâhî sıfatların öğretilmesinde sıfat tasnifine dair problemlerin çözülmesinde ve mantığın kavranmasında tarihsel süreçteki farklı tasniflerin tespit edilmesi önemli bir yere sahiptir. Tarihsel süreçte Ehl-i Sünnet âlimleri sıfatların tasnif edilip edilmeyeceği konusunda ihtilaf etmişlerdir. Selef-i Salihin âlimlerinin çoğu ve bazı Kelâm alimleri, ilâhî sıfatları tek başlık altında ele almayı tercih etmişlerdir. Fakat birçok Kelâm âlimi ilâhî isimleri ve sıfatları tasnif etmenin sakıncası olmadığına inanmış ve farklı sıfat tasnifleri ortaya koymuşlardır. Çalışmamız Eşarî alimlerin tarihsel süreçteki sıfat tasniflerini ve mantığını kavramayı amaçlamaktadır. Fakat bütün Eşarî alimlerin ilâhî sıfat tasniflerini ortaya koymak, makale hacmini aşacağı için tarihte öne çıkan bazı Eşarî alimlerin tasniflerine yer vermekle yetinilmiştir. Günümüzde yaygın olarak kullanılan sıfat tasniflerine katkı sağlamak hedeflenmiştir. Çalışma nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden doküman inceleme usulüne göre yürütülmüş olup çalışma sonunda söz konusu tasnifin Eşarîlerin kelâm yöntemleriyle ve itikâdî görüşleriyle uyumlu ve tutarlı olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır.
