Ash'arism is one of the main branches of Sunnism and was founded by Abu Hasan al-Ash'ari around the 9th-10th century.[ 4] Ash'arism was formed as a middle ground between the branches of Atharism and Maturdism.[ 1] Most Asharis follow the Shafi madhab of Sunnism but there is also a Maliki minority.[ 5] Asharis are generally considered part of Ahl Sunnah .[ 6] [ 7]
