List of Atharis

Atharis or Ahl al-Athar are those who adhere to the creed of Atharism (Traditionalism) theology, which originated in the 8th century CE from the Hanbali scholarly circles of Ahl al-Hadith. The name derives from "tradition" in its technical sense as a translation of the Arabic word "athar". The Athari school is one of three schools of doctrine in Islam alongside the Ash'ari creed and the Maturidi creed. Atharis are against the usage of metaphorical interpretation such as regarding the revealed attributes of God, and they do not make attempts to conceptualize the meanings of the Quran in a rational manner.

The Atharis became affiliated with the Hanbalis throughout the years as their doctrine originated from there, but they are also affiliated with Wahhabism and the Salafi movement.
