According to the Muslim Theologians Whether Maarifatullah is a Compulsory Knowledge or a Posteriori Knowledge

According to Cahm b. Safvan, Ghailan and some Mutezilite, knowledge that the universe has been created by God is a compulsory knowledge. Raghip al-Isfahani, Avarreos and Ibn Taymiyya say that idea of that every creature has a creator is a principle inherent in human mind. Asharite, Maturidite and some of Mutezilite accept that maarifatullah is a posteriori knowledge. Their argument is that human beings don’t conflict and don’t doubt on a priori knowledge. Some of the scholars saying maarifatullah is achived only by means of inference accept that human being is neutral case to tawhid and Islam. Some others argue that there is a religious care in innateness and human being has inherent sensitivity to belief of tawhid or an unconscious concept of God.
