School of Islamic philosophical thought
Jabriyya
(also spelled
Jabriyyah
,
Djabriyya
or
Jabriyah
) was an
early Islamic philosophical
school based on the belief that humans are controlled by
predestination
, without having choice or
free will
. The
Jabriyya
school originated during the Umayyad dynasty in Basra. The first representative of this school was al-Ja'd ibn Dirham (executed in 724).
[1]
The term is derived from the Arabic root j-b-r, in the sense which gives the meaning of someone who is forced or coerced by destiny.

Jabriyya
is a derogatory term used by different Islamic groups that they consider wrong, so it is not a specific theological school.
[2]
The
Ash'ariyah
used the term
Jabriyya
in the first place to describe the followers of
Jahm ibn Safwan
(died 746) in that they regarded their faith as a middle position between
Qadariyah
and Jabriyya. On the other hand, the
Mu'tazilah
considered Ash'ariyah as
Jabriyya
because, in their opinion, they rejected the orthodox doctrine of free will, despite the Asharis rejecting this claim.
[3]
The Shiites used the term
Jabriyya
to describe Ash'ariyah and
Hanbalis
.
