Sharh al-'Aqa'id al-Nasafiyya (Arabic: شرح العقائد النسفية) is a commentary written by the Hanafi-Shafi'i scholar al-Taftazani (d. 791/1389 or 792/1390) on the creed of Najm al-Din 'Umar al-Nasafi (d. 537/1142-3),[1] an authoritative compendium on Islamic Sunni theology that remained a standard textbook in Ottoman schools.[2] The book is a commentary on al-Nasafi's treatise, in which al-Nasafi systematized Hanafi-Maturidi theology. However, al-Taftazani adopted an Ash'ari perspective in his commentary.[3][4][5]
This was the view propounded in such standard handbooks of Ash'ari theology as Sharh al-'Aqa'id al-Nasafiyya by Taftāzāni.
