The authenticity of the teachings of Abu Mansur al-Maturidi in theology is justified by its connection with the Prophet Muhammad, the main sources of Islam, as well as the principle of rationality. So the theologian’s doctrine spread to many regions of the world, including the Volga-Ural region. The purpose of this article is to study the basic features of the teachings of Abu Mansur al-Maturidi, as well as to trace its spread in the Volga-Ural region. Accordingly, the objectives of the study are: first, to identify and characterize the basic features of the Maturidite faith. Secondly, to trace the history of the Maturidis doctrine in the Volga-Ural region. Third, to identify the names of theologians and the titles of works devoted to the Maturidite doctrine. The source base of the study was the published works of the theologian. In the course of the study, methods of analysis and synthesis, as well as the historical and comparative method were used. The analysis of the text of “Kitab at-tawhid” and tafsir of the theologian revealed the basic principles of his teaching and methodology of the theologian. In particular, it was revealed that the main basic principles of the theologian were: continuity with the Prophet Muhammad, moderation and rationality. It was also found that after entry to the territory of the Volga-Ural region, the doctrine of Abu Mansur al-Maturidi, depending on socio-political changes, experienced periods of rise and decline.

“…reality were porous, multivalent, and ephemeral networks of people and institutions (DeWeese 2016; Eden, Sartori, and DeWeese 2016;Ross 2020). A separate vein of scholarship offers a similar corrective to the study of Islamic reform in China.…”

In this article I revise the conventional account of the contestation over Islamic reform in late Qing and Republican China. I argue that previous scholarship has overlooked important similarities between so-called “reformists” or “Yihewani” and “traditionalists” or “Gedimu.” Based on an analysis of several texts and their exposition of the concept of bid‘a, I show that scholars associated with opposite sides of this divide in the early twentieth century shared a legalistic understanding of the shari‘a as a system of categories for classifying human action; and that this classificatory conception of the shari‘a differed from the practice-centered approach reflected in earlier Chinese Islamic works.

“…I have focused here on Sartori's work in Islamic legal history, but he has also made important contributions elsewhere: to the ongoing debate over the nature and importance of Muslim modernism in Central Asia; 43 to the history of the Kazakh steppe under Russian and Soviet rule, where he has worked closely with Niccolò Pianciola and Pavel Shabley; 44 and, in his earlier work, to the political role played by the Tashkent 'ulama in the revolutionary and early Soviet period. 45 In all this work we see a powerful combination of the skills of the historian and the trained orientalist -vostokoved.…”

In the first place, he knows his evidence. He knows the range of it, how it came into existence, what people or institutions produced it, what it can tell and what can never be got from it.' G. R. Elton The Practice of History (1967) Positivism in historical writing has been under attack for many decades now -at least since the publication of Hayden White's Metahistory in 1973, and the broader 'linguistic turn' which it helped to usher in. 1 Even before this, Geoffrey Elton considered history as profession and craft to be threatened by 'relativists', who favoured 'the opinion that it is all simply in the historian's mind and becomes whatever he likes to make of it'. 2 He was referring above all to E.H. Carr's What is History? (1961), whose questioning of the notion of historical truth was mild compared to what followed in the succeeding decades: Elton saw postmodernism as a 'devilish temptation', nothing less than a moral failing. 3 His fears were only partly justified.While there were times (particularly in the late 1980s and early 1990s) when postmodern, relativist approaches to the study of the past looked as if they might carry all before them, positivism, empiricism and historical truth found many staunch and distinguished defenders. 4 What Marc Bloch called the historian's craft has not only survived but thrived in the face of the postmodernist challenge, whose positive effects included a much greater sensitivity to structures and hierarchies of power in the analysis of sources, and the emergence of microhistory. 5 Paolo Sartori may not thank me for placing him in the Eltonian tradition of deep archival research and meticulous documentary analysis, but this virtual ancestry was suggested partly by an (uncomplimentary) reference to his approach as 'positivism' in a review of his recent book, Visions of Justice, 6 and partly by the title of one of his nowcompleted research projects: 'The Archives Talk: Writing the Social History of Colonial Central Asia', on which Sartori worked with Jürgen Paul and Thomas Welsford, was funded by the 1
