This is true, yet it would appear to be contradicted by the statement below, attributed to Ab\u016b \u1e24an\u012bfa, that insight in matters of religion is \"better\" than insight in matters of knowledge. This is to be explained, however, by Ab\u016b \u1e24an\u012bfa's murji\u2019\u012b tendency, his reluctance to condemn any professed Muslim--a tendency which led necessarily to a separation of faith and works.","tags":[],"text":null,"title":"Islam: Chapter Five: Kal\u0101m: The Statements of the Theologians: 1.
