Summary/Abstract: al-Aqidah al-Tahawiyyah, has come to famous with the dispute of the takwin (creation) between Maturidism and Asharism in the V/XIth century. In this debate, Asharites argued that the view of an eternal takwin (creation) attribute did not based on Abu Hanifa and earlier Hanafites and they accused Hanafites of innovation (bid’a). Abu al-Muin al-Nasafi, responded to this accusation in Tabsirat al-Adilla and he tried to prove, in the context of al-Aqidah al-Tahawiyya, this view was based on Abu Hanifa. al-Nasafi’s reference to the al-Aqidah, has led to a debate and the emergence of a comprehensive commentary literature around the al-Aqidah.
