Abstract
The article presents a historical analysis of the formation and development of the early Hanafi school (‘aqida) from the 8th century to the early 14th century. It analyzes the evolution of methodological principles regarding doctrine established by Abu Ḥanifa and continued by al-Māturīdī. This work introduces a periodization of the main stages in the development of Ḥanafi doctrine. The study is based on the analysis of the key doctrinal texts from the previously mentioned period and contemporary historiography.
