The issues such as caliphate, accident, fate, and the status of the person who commits great sins that emerged in the Islamic society after the Prophet's death, and the philosophical groups encountered as a result of the spread of Islam to a wide geography as a result of conquests, constitute the basis for the emergence of Mu'tazilah. The Mu'tazilites were the source of the formation of the theology of the Ahl al-Sunnah with their holistic and systematic establishment of the issues pertaining to the faith. Especially names such as Abu 'Ali al-Jubbāʾī (d. 303/916) and Abu Hashim al-Jubbāʾī (d. 321/933), who represented the later period of the sect, and Qāḍī 'Abd al-Jabbār (d. 415/1025), who systematized the sect, are important for the development of Islamic thought. When one examines Qāḍī's extant works, one sees the last and final form of the sect. As a result of the sect's loss of political support after Qāḍī, Mu'tazila began to appeal to a narrower circle, but continued its vitality by integrating with Zaydī thought. The traces of this conclusion can be seen in Hakim al-Jushamī, who was the liaison between Qāḍī and Zamakhsharī (d. 538/1144), who was regarded as the last great imam of the Mu'tazila. In addition to his Zaydī identity, al-Jushamī (d. 494/1101) is worth analyzing in terms of showing the changes in the Mu'tazila after Qāḍī. The first study on al-Hākim al-Jushamī in Turkey was written by Ramazan Yıldırım in 2012 and published by Isaret Publications, entitled The Theological Polemics of the Mu'tazilites -Hākim al-Jushamī's Example-. Here, Yıldırım's work will be introduced and evaluated.
