I thought that the matter of aqeedah is clear cut, hence there is no differences...so why is there differences?
I think there is no differences between the core Islamic beliefs (aqida), That Allah exist, Allah is One, there is nothing like Him, He has no beginning, nor ending, He is completely dissimilar to all created things, He is not in need of anything yet, He knows, wills, is powerful, has life, sees, hears and speaks. He is also the Merciful, the King, etc.
Yet I remember reading the Companions differing on issues on aqida like, Did the Messenger of Allah, sallahu alayhi wa salam, see Allah or not? Was Iblis a Jinn or an Angel? and there are probably more things in which the companions differed.
And Allah knows best.
