The questioner is asking – Do the Mu’tazilah still exist?

Shaykh Muḥummed Emān Ibn ‘Alī al-Jāmī said:

It seems like we are always repeating the topic of the Mu’tazilah. As what the common folk always say “We are exhuming the graves”, we speak about the dead …No. The Mu’tazilah still exist. All of the shi’ah sects, from the extremists and the non extremists. Also some of the Khawaarij such as the ‘Ibaadiyyah. All of them are on the creed of the Mu’tazilah. Every shi’ah. And the shi’ah are currently present. They surroundus and they are in our proximity. The learnt ones from amongst them that are on the creed of the I’tazaal (those whom withdrew) – they don’t believe in anything from the Attributes of Allaah (ta’aala) except for the names that are indeterminate and without any meaning. They say He (Allaah) is knowledgeable and without knowledge. Or they say “He is Aware (Knowledgeable)” and His knowledge can’t be proven.
