Thus Al-Ash'ari traversed the main positions of the Mutazilites, denying that man can by the aid of his reason alone rise to the knowledge of good and evil. He must exercise no judgment but accept all that is revealed. He has no right to apply the moral laws which affect men to the actions of God. It cannot be asserted by the human reason that the good will be rewarded, or the bad punished in a future world. Man must always approach God as a slave, in whom there is no light or knowledge to judge of the actions of the Supreme. Whether God will accept the penitent sinner or not cannot be asserted, for He is an absolute Sovereign, above all law.[117] The opinions of the more irrational sub-divisions of the Sifatians need not be entered into at any length. The Mushabihites (or Assimilators), interpreting some of the mutashabih verses literally, held that there is a resemblance between God and His creatures; and that the Deity is capable of local motion, of ascending, descending, &c. These they called "declarative attributes." The Mujassimians (or Corporealists) declared God to be corporeal, by which some of them meant, a self-subsisting body, whilst others declared the Deity to be finite. They are acknowledged to be heretics. {132} The Jabrians gave great prominence to the denial of free agency in man, and thus opposed the Mutazilites, who in this respect are Kadrians, that is, they deny "Al-Kadr," God's absolute sovereignty, and recognize free will in man. These and various other sub-divisions are not now of much importance. The Sunnis follow the teaching of Al-Ash'ari, whilst the Shi'ahs incline to that of the Mutazilites.
