In this topic, the comments of Qadi 'Abd al-Jabbar, who is considered among leading figures of Mutazilah, on imitators’ faith have been dealt with. Additionally, some comparisons have been done between his views and Nasafi’s from Maturidi School and Baqillani’s from Ash’ari School. This study includes wide explanations on Abd al-Jabbar’s rejection of imitator’s faith because of his condition of knowledge of Allah for the real faith
