Abstract
This article seeks to explain the MOTAZELE theological method. Their 
verbal method was rationalism, in which they used rational reason 
and reasoning to understand the fundamentals of religion. This 
method is applied to the method of transposition, which is used to 
understand the foundations of religion from the book and the 
Sunnat. The method of narrativity, like other verbal methods, 
including the method of rationalism, has been by historians along 
with extremes throughout history, and has gone through certain ups 
and downs. According to the title of this article, regarding the origin 
of this method of Motazele , it should be mentioned that it has been 
the importance and authenticity of reasoning in the teachings of the 
book and the Sunnat, on the other hand, and the influence of Greek 
philosophy on the other, on the other hand. This influence is rooted 
in the strength of reasoning, and rationality of the glorious words of 
the omnipresent personality of Imam Ali (PBUH). In addition, and 
from the vantage point of criticizing this verbal method, the 
approach proposed by the present paper for the deep understanding 
of the foundations of religion from several theological methods is the 
same as the "balanced" school of the Ahlul-Bayt (PBUH); that is adhering to Seghle Akbar and Seghle Asghar (appearance-based 
proof, along with actual proof) is considered as the most reasonable 
and reliable scientific and religious support.
