The article discusses Ahmad ibn Mahmud ibn Abu Bakr Nuriddin Sobuniy, a great mutakallim (theologian) and jurist from ancient Bukhara. He was born in the early 6th/12th century and is recognized as one of the prominent figures in the Maturidi school of thought. Sobuniy contributed significantly to the fields of kalam (theology), fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), and usul al-fiqh (principles of Islamic jurisprudence).

The article also highlights that in his works, Sobuniy developed the intellectual ideas of Abu Mansur al-Maturidi and Abu al-Mu'in al-Nasafi, defending the Hanafi-Maturidi doctrine through his scholarly debates. He participated in intellectual discussions with renowned scholars such as Fakhr al-Din al-Razi. Additionally, it is noted that Sobuniy adopted the pen name “Sobuniy” due to his ancestors' involvement in soap-making.
