    Salam

    question about alBiruni,(as i was trying to recommend, a Muslim intellectual), his aqida?
    here it says,
    "In Islamic theology, Biruni was a follower of the orthodox Ash'ari school of Sunni Islam.[9] However, he is also thought to have associated with Maturidi theologians and was sympathetic towards Ismailis. He was critical, however, of Mutazili theologians, particularly Al-Jahiz and Zurqan, and he also criticized Muhammad ibn Zakarīya Rāzi's sympathy for Manichaeanism.[50]

    and here it says,
    "Belonging to the Sunni Ash'ari school,[3][5] al-Biruni nevertheless also associated with Maturidi theologians. He was however, very critical of the Mu'tazila, particularly criticising al-Jahiz and Zurqan.[32] He also repudiated Avicenna for his views on the eternality of the universe.[33][34]"

    what did the Akhaabir Ulama al Kiraam, (radhiullahu Ta'la anhum), say, about his works and Aqida?
