Jabriyya Explained

Jabriyya Arabic: جبرية|Jabriyyah̅n rooted from j-b-r; was an Islamic theological group based on the belief that humans are controlled by predestination, without having choice or free will, in the sense which gives the meaning of someone who is forced or coerced by destiny.[1]

Etymology

According to Muḥammad Khalīl Harrās, modern scholar from Al-Azhar University and Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University; the Jabriyya is a Fatalism thought of those who embraced Predestination in Islam without considering the free will (Iradah) of human. Thus, it technically became the polar opposite of Qadariyah, who rejected the fatalism and embrace the free will of creatures entirely; thus, 14th AD Hanafi scholar Ibn Abi al-Izz postulated that both of them are not included as Sunni Islam, as Sunni doctrine believed both kind of "Will" existed, as long as "The will of God" existed above the "The will of creatures", as the concept of fate or destiny according to Ibn Abi al-Izz are multifaceted without overlapping priority.

Al-Shahrastani, a 12th AD Shafi'i scholar; has classified Jabriyya as movement has evolved into two groups. The first group is Jabariyyah al-Khalishah (extreme Jabriyya), while the second group is Jabariyyah Mutawassithah (moderate Jabriyya).[2] The first group was the first generation were consisted of Jahm bin Safwan,, and their followers, who completely rejected Indeterminism of human will. Meanwhile, the second group was the Ash'arism, who only rejected certain aspects of "creature's will" attribute.[3] In particular, Muhammad Imara from Al-Azhar University research member, has stated that the moderate Jabriyya thinking which brought by the Ash'arites adpoted Mu'tazilism thought about free will, while on the other hand they also inserting portions of extreme Jabriyya by Jahm of rejecting total free will,[4] such as the doctrine to assimilate willed act with compelled act.[5]

History

Historically, the Jabriyya term firstly used during the Umayyad Caliphate era in Basra. The first accused of this school was al-Ja'd ibn Dirham (executed in 724).[6] According to modern western historian Josef van, the term of Jabriyya historically became a derogatory term used by different Islamic groups to denounce their opposing view; which technically its not an established school of thought.[7] The Ash'ariyah used the term Jabriyya in the first place to describe the followers of Jahm ibn Safwan (died 746) in that they regarded their faith as a middle position between Qadariyah and Jabriyya. On the other hand, the Mu'tazilah considered Ash'ariyah as Jabriyya because, in their opinion, they rejected the orthodox doctrine of free will, despite the Asharis rejecting this claim.[8] The Shiites used the term Jabriyya to describe Ash'ariyah and Hanbali.[9] Abd al-Aziz al-Tarifi viewed the labelling of a Sunni as Jabriyya is characteristic of Qadariyya thoughts.[10]

Al-Shahrastani has wrote that the religious-political movement of Murji'ah has adopted four models in their theology, where the 2 of them was influenced by Jabriyya denomination:[11]

  1. Kharijites Murji'ah
  2. Jabriyya Murji'ah
  3. Qadariyah Murji'ah
  4. Khalisah (Extreme Jabriyya/Jahmiyya) Murji'ah
