Most biographies, essays and books on Ferdowsi have introduced him as a Mo'tazeli. This claim is based on Nesami-e Aroozi's statement, and more often by using the following Ferdowsi's line in Shahname: "you can't see The Creator with your eyes, don't bother them".
The present article intends to challenge this claim. The paper based on Formosa's words will show that Ferdowsi was not Mo'tazili, rather he was a Sunni, inclined to Asha'era and matoridyyh. Furthermore this article demonstrates that Ro'yat (the vision) in the aforementioned verse indicates manners of cognition and it has no connection with the Ro'yat in Kalam.
