Abstract: The paper treats an important issue dominating the Mu'tazili thought, i.e. the status and the perceived roles of the human intellect, since it plays, to them, an essential role in interpreting the Shariah texts probably to the extent of giving it a priority over them. This is despite the fact that the intellect according to the Mu'tazila is defined in their own terms, and it is not a collective sort of intellect where it is approved by all schools of thoughts. So what is this intellect and its components? And is there a difference between the necessary intellect and the necessary knowledge? Is this intellect in line with the concept of intellect according to the pioneers of the Sunni school? The paper attempts to answer all the above questions and hence its importance. The methodology used in this paper is an inductive methodology dictated by the nature of this research work; however, the paper to some extent also uses both the descriptive and the analytic approaches as such methodologies are also dictated by the nature of such researches. In order to be fair to the Mu'tazila and reach satisfactory and unbiased results, the paper seeks to identify the characteristics of the Mu'tazili intellect from their own books or the books of schools that were influenced by them like the Zaidis, not the books of their adversaries.
