ABŪ ʿAMR AL-MĀZOLĪ

ABŪ ʿAMR AL-MĀZOLĪ

ABŪ ʿAMR AL-MĀZOLĪ, Karrāmī theologian, fl. mid-4th/mid-10th century. Most of the later branches of the Karrāmīya traced themselves back to Ebn Karrām through him; he was the last important representative of the school before the expansion and diversification which occurred under the early Ghaznavids. Nothing is known about Abū ʿAmr’s life or doctrine.
