Hanputa
Hanputa is corrected (Noachified) indigenous religion or spirituality, like for example Hermeticism, the religion of The Ancient Just. Church fathers looked down upon Hanputa because it represented non-Jewish non-Christian monotheistic competition. However, Pre-tribulation Christian Theologians have considered that 2Thess 2:3 refers to the necessity of Hanputa. Julian the Hanif and many Sabi'un in the time of Abul Kazim followed Hanputa (though many were polytheists), hence, when Abul Kazim said "not a divinity but the divine" Abu Lahab called him a Sabi. The Quran makes it clear that only those Sabi'un who follow Hanputa will be saved. Although Mani was an apostate from Hanputa, his commentators still called him Hanif, but in a degoratory sense.
