As well as this article from Mufti Taqi Uthmani is that the differences of opinion between the asharis, maturidis, atharis, those who assign a location to Allah those who don't, those who take a literal interpreatation of Allahs attributes, those who don't delve into them at all, and those who provide a metaphorical interpretation (with restrictions of course) all fall within the accepted realm of scholarly disagreement.

Often times people will say that muslims are defined by their aqeedah, and thus there can be differences of opinion in fiqh BUT NOT in AQEEDAH. The idea that one gets from the pieces of infromation that i have provided is that this is not the case. there are acceptable differences in aqeedah as well (within bounds obviously), without anyone running the risk of being labelled deviant or out of the fold of ahlussunnah.

Salam `Aleykum,

I was writing a big reply to this but the electricity cut off so I lost it... To be brief, when people understand that all of this falls under the legitimate difference of opinion in Islam, 70% of the Fitnah which is dividing the Muslims will disappear to no return.. but the people are dumb idiots so they'll keep on debating and I don't expect them to understand anytime soon.
