Summary/Abstract: This study focuses on Qadi ‘Abd Al-Jabbar’s tawheed-centered criticism of Sabians. Qadi ‘Abd Al-Jabbar is an important thinker of Mu’tazilah. Scholars of Ilm al-Kalam defined the principle of the tawheed according to Qur’an, they strived to defend this principle against new theological movements and criticize ideas that are against the principle of the tawheed. Qadi ‘Abd Al-Jabbar’s position was very important during these negotiations about the tawheed. He focused on Sabians. He used to emphasize that objects cannot be eternal and an eternal being cannot have a sign of being created. Deviations from the tawheed principle generally start with attributing eternity to the materials.
