Sbiʹa and the Muʹtazilite Exegetical Views

The present paper is trying to display the closeness and homogeneity of the Imami and the Muʹtazilite exegeses and constructive exchange of ideas as well as the benefiting of Shiʹa scholars from the exegetical views of the Muʹtazilites. Hence, the most significant Sh^l exegetical works, i.e., Sharif Murtidaʹs Amali, Shaykh al-Tusiʹs Tebyan, and Tabarsiʹs Jawamiʹ al-Jamiʹ have been surveyed and their borrowing from the exegeses belonging to the dignitaries among the Muʹtazilits such as Rummani, Balkhi, Jubbaʹi, and Zamakhshari along with some constructive criticisms of these exegeses are pointed out. Furthermore, admiration of the eminent figures of both schools for each other, particularly Imamiʹs praise of the Muʹtaziliteʹs exegetical views are brought up in order to further elucidate the constructive and sound relations of the ancients, to help creating closer rapport among the Islamic schools, and to encourage Muslims unity.
