One of the most important discussions of theology among the Islamic sects from the beginning of the formation of theology to the present, which has been controversial, is the divine attributes. In the meantime, Maturidiyya, who in the 4th century AH, by adopting a moderate means of the Mu'tazilites and Ash'arites by Abu-Mansour Maturidiy is formed, in terms of the ontological of the divine attributes, is unanimous with the Ash'arites and Imāmī. In this school, rationalism (intellectualism) predominates on externalism, and in the semantic of divine attributes, as it is clear from its interpretation of the verses related to the Khabriyya attributes (corporeal form), it is consistent with the Imāmī and the Mu'tazilites in terms of God’s incomparability purification of its vision and its esoteric exegesis and liberty. However, in the question of the vision of the Almighty God during the Resurrection, in addition to the scriptural reasons, he also cited rational reasons, and by accepting the question of the vision of God, in fact, he would diminish his vision and, like the Ash'arites, adopts the verses, and believes the vision without quality
