Schools of Islamic theology
Alright kiddo, let me explain to you the schools of Islamic theology in a simple way.
Imagine you are playing a game, and the game has some rules for you to follow. In the same way, Islam also has some rules that people have to follow to be good Muslims.
Now, different people have different ideas about how these rules should be followed. For example, imagine your friends and you are playing football, but you all have different ideas about how to play the game. You might say we should not use our hands, while another friend might say we should use our hands.
Similarly, Muslims also have different ideas about how to follow the rules set by Islam. These ideas are called schools of Islamic theology.
There are mainly four schools of Islamic theology that Muslims follow: Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki, and Hanbali. These schools are named after the scholars who developed them.
Each school has its own set of rules on how to interpret and follow Islamic teachings. For example, one school might say you can do a certain thing while another school might say that it's not allowed.
So, just like in football, there are different ways to play the game, in Islam, there are different ways to follow the religion. It's up to people to choose which school they want to follow according to their beliefs and understanding.
