Afali monotheism is one of the branches of theoretical monotheism, whose branches include monotheism in creation, lordship, wealth, sovereignty, and ownership.
Since each of these branches, especially monotheism in creation, is related to human free will, in explaining the relationship between monotheism of actions and human free will, Ash'areh do not consider man to be a free-willed being by referring to the verses indicating the generality of God's actions. Mu'tazila accept the monotheism of verbs, but they do not consider the optional actions of man to be God's actions and only attribute them to man himself. Following the Ahl al-Bayt (Aal), the Imami Shiites consider both views to be incorrect and hold to a third view called the theory of Amron Bayn Al-amreyn, which is free from the negative consequences of the other two views.
