Abstract

This article discusses the concept of tanzīh (transcendence) in the book al-Aqīdah al-Taḥāwiyyah. The main issue discussed in this article is related to the statement of the concept of tanzīh presented by Imam al-Taḥāwi in his book. This study used a qualitative design by applying content analysis methods to the book al-Aqīdah al-Taḥāwiyyah and library research on its commentaries by Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama’ah scholars. Overall, the study results found that Imam al-Taḥāwi concisely explained the concept of tanzīh and emphasized several specific themes. The themes include [i] the transcendence of Allah SWT’s essence from allies and equals with Him, [ii] the transcendence of Allah SWT’s essence and attributes from resembling creatures, and [iii] the transcendence of Allah’s words from resembling the word of creatures. The commentators’ explanation further explains Imam al-Taḥāwi’s meaning in each statement. The benefits and effects of understanding the concept of tanzīh can save a Muslim from falling into misguided beliefs such as anthropomorphism (tajsīm) and immanent (tashbīh).
