What are the differences in the aqeedah of the Asharites and the Maturidiites?

Answer

Imaam of the Asharites is Abul Hasan Ashari (RA) and the Imaam of the Maturidites is Abu Mansoor Maaturidi (RA).

Both were adherents of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaa`. There is no real difference in Aqeedah between the two. The differences are only in the different use of words and ways of interpretation.
