Abstract
One of the basic topics in theology is the issue of the quality of the relationship between God's nature and attributes. Muslim theologians and philosophers have expressed different views on it. The negation of attributes from essence can be considered as the most important theory, the objectivity of essence, etc. Famous scholars of the Mu'tazila school, such as Ibn Abi Al-Hadid, Abul Huzail and Abd al-Jabbar believe in objectivity and do not accept Deputy. Among the Shi'ite philosophers, Mulla Sadra, Haji Sabzevari, Tabatabaei and Motahari have attributed the theory of proxy to the Mu'tazila, while Sheikh Mofid and Khawaja Nasir have attributed the objectivity to the Imamia and the Mu'tazila. Javadi Amoli hesitates to attribute the deputy to Mu'tazila and does not accept it. This essay, in a descriptive-analytical way, after expressing the above-mentioned views, has analyzed the arguments of Ibn Abi Al-Hadid in defense of the objectivity of attributes with essence and the inaccuracy of unconditional attributing of belief in “deputy” to the Mu'tazila.
