Jabriya

Name applied to those alleged to hold the doctrine of jabr (compulsion), according to which it is not man who actually acts, but only God. Mu‘tazilis and Maturidis accused the Ash‘aris, who denied the notion of qadar (free will), of believing in jabr. The Ash‘aris considered their doctrine of kasb (acquisition) a mean between jabr and qadar. Also mujbira.
