Consensus is one of the sources of reaching rulings, which may be a source of beliefs as well. In the theological books of Islamic scholars, Shia or Sunni, the reason for consensus has been used to prove some of the doctrines. And what is the criterion of credibility and the scope of its validity? This research aims to examine the answers to the above questions from the most important theological schools, namely the Imamiyyah, Mu'tazilah, Ash'ari, and Matridiyyah. This research, which is of a fundamental type, has tried to explain the different dimensions of consensus with the analytical and library methods and with the approach of rational and narrative reasoning. In this article, the reasons given for the validity of consensus in matters of belief have been undermined. The most important results obtained in this research are that: the fundamentalists of the Imamiyyah and some Akhbaris accept the authority of consensus based on reason, the Ash'arites accept the authority of consensus through narration, and most of the Mu'tazila and Matridiyya also accept the authenticity of consensus through narration. In this article, there is a flaw in the arguments presented, and Mukhtar's opinion is that: there is no evidence for the validity of consensus in matters of faith.

One of the most important and frequent Quranic teachings is the subject of repentance. Repentance or return is attributed to both God and servant. In speculative theology (Kalām) of sects, although there is consensus between Shi'a and Mu'tazila on some topics, accepting repentance is not the case. Mu'tazilites of Basra believe that accepting repentance is an intellectual obligation on behalf of God, and if he does not accept, he has performed an ugly act, while Ashʿarites, Imāmīyyah, and Mu'tazilites of Baghdad believe that accepting repentance is due to God's grace over his servants. The Mu'tazila have based their claims on two rational reasons and a Qur'anic reason, and their belief is centered on "permanence in fire for sinners". The results of this study, conducted by analytical-descriptive method, indicate that such a belief will lead to "people’s influence on god" and "God’s deserving of blame ", both of which are impossible. According to several verses, God has promised the acceptance of repentance from the sinner, and breach of promise is ugly; thus, accepting repentance is not rational but is aural, and because God has promised to accept it, he accepts it.
