The Sunnis’ Position from the "Mihna" of the Creation of “Quran”.A critical study

There are at least two major movement in interpreting its nature; The Ash’aris and The Mu’tazilates, in which they attemped to disseminate their methodological principles and thoughts. This article sheds light on the main aspect of the Miḥna, and it concentrates on the political features and their contribution in shaping the religious thoughts during the reign of different Caliphs and how they made their interests over any authority.
