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.
