	Ibn Taymiya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ibn Taymiya held that much of the Islamic scholarship of his time had declined into modes that were inherently against the proper understanding of the Qur'an and the Prophetic example (sunna).
		Ibn Taymiya believed that the first three generations of Islam -- the prophet Muhammad, his Companions, and the children and grandchildren of the first Muslims -- were the best role models for Islamic life.
		Ibn Taymiya was a stern critic of antinomian interpretations of Islamic mysticism (Sufism).

	Muhammad ibn Abd-al-Wahhab - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab al-Tamimi (1703AD – 1792AD) (Arabic:محمد بن عبد الوهاب التميمى) was an Arab theologian born in the Najd, in present-day Saudi Arabia and the most famous scholar of the movement within Islam known as the Salafi movement.
		ibn Abd-Al-Wahhab revived interest in the works of the Islamic scholar Ibn Taymiya; The followers of this revival (see Islamism) are often called Wahhabis, but they reject the usage of this term on the grounds that ibn Abd-Al-Wahhab's teachings were the teachings of the Prophet Muhammed, not his own.
		Qabbani wrote two texts criticizing Ibn 'Abd Al-Wahhab, the Fasl al-Khitab fi Radd Dalalat Ibn Abd al-Wahhab ("the unmistakable judgement in the refutation of the delusions of Ibn Abd Al-Wahhab,") and the Kashf al-Hijab an Wadjh Dalalat Ibn al-Wahhab ("lifting the veil from the face of the delusions of Ibn al-Wahhab,").

	Ibn Taymiya
		Other conclusions of Ibn Taymiya were actually contrary to ijma, like stating that the payment of non-compulsory taxes frees a man from paying zakat and that divorce stated towards a women while she was in her menstrual period was void.
		Ibn Taymiya was also involved in hefty debates with all non-Sunni Islamic orientations, but of special attention to him were the Shi'is of Mount Kasrawan in Lebanon, the Rifa'yah Sufis and the Ittihadiya school.
		Ibn Taymiya also attacked other religions like Judaism and Christianity, and he propagated strongly against both the building of and the maintenance of churches and synagogues.

		Ibn Taymiya (p75.23) is Ahmad ibn `Abd al-Halim ibn `Abd al-Salam ibn `Abdullah, Abu al-`Abbas Taqi al-Din Ibn Taymiya al-Harrani, born in Harran, east of Damascus, in 661/1263.
		Ibn Taymiya was a voracious reader and author of great personal courage who was endowed with a compelling writing style and a keen memory.
		While few deny that Ibn Taymiya was a copious and eloquent writer and hadith scholar, his career, like that of others, demonstrates that a man may be outstanding in one field and yet suffer from radical deficiencies in another, the most reliable index of which is how a field's Imams regard his work in it.

	Re-Formers of Islam: The Mas'ud Questions - IBN TAYMIYA AND IBN KATHIR
		Ibn Kathir is considered to be part of Ahl al-Sunna by the orthodox community even though he was a student of Ibn Taymiya.
		In scholarship, Ibn Kathir was a hadith master (hafiz, someone with at least 100,000 hadiths by memory), while Ibn Taymiya was not: his name does not appear in any of the works of tabaqat al-huffaz or "successive generations of hadith masters," that comprehensively document such scholars.
		Whatever length of time Ibn Kathir studied with Ibn Taymiya, he was in his twenties when the latter died, and his long and fruitful career extended over the next forty-six years.

	Was Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal an Anthropomorphist?
		Was Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal an anthropomorphist as is alleged by the Salafis?
		This is very interesting because the anthropomorphists of his day, as well as Ibn Taymiyya in the seventh century after the Hijra, used many ascriptive constructions (idafa) that appear in hadiths and Qur’anic verses as proof that Allah had "attributes" that bolstered their conceptions of Him.
		Here, Ibn al-Jawzi’s principle means that we are not entitled to affirm, on the basis of the Arabic wording of the verse alone, that "Allah has a hand" as an attribute (sifa) of His entity.

	Development of Muslim Theology: III: Theology: Chapter VI
		CHAPTER VI The rise and spread of darwish Fraternities; the survival and tradition of the Hanbalite doctrine; Abd ar-Razzaq; Ibn Taymiya, his attacks on saint-worship and on the mutakallims; ash-Sha‘rani and his times; the modern movements; Wahhabism and the influence of al-Ghazzali; possibilities of the present.
		Thus, Ibn Sa‘bin, though he was surrounded by disciples who for a time after his death carried on the order of Sab‘inites, does not seem now to have any to do him honor.
		In fact, so closely had Ibn Arabi come to be identified with the Sufi position as a whole that a defence of him was a favorite form in which to cast a defence of Sufiism generally.

	Muslim Theology
		It is to Ibn Taymiya's credit that he was one of the few to lift up their voices against this abomination.
		That was enough to make Ibn Taymiya address an epistle to him, intended to turn him from his heresies.
		But his fearlessness was like that of Ibn Hanbal himself, and in 726 he gave out a fatwa which ran still straighter in the teeth of the beliefs of the people and which sent him to a prison which he never left alive.

		Ibn `Ata Allah, Lata'if al-minan fi manaqib Abi al-`Abbas.on the margins of Sha`rani's Lata'if al-minan wa al-akhlaq (Cairo, 1357) 2:17-18.
		Ibn Daqiq al-`Eid said, "This Hadith is not confirmed by scholars, and is held by some to be spurious." Daraqutni stated that it was uncorroborated.

	Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Hanbal
		The theological technique of Ibn Hanbal, from which the Hanbali schools is based, was not based upon a codified law, fiqh, something which Ibn Hanbal opposed.
		Ibn Hanbal has come to play a central role in the development of Islam, more than what is associated with his school alone.
		Ibn Taymiya of the 13th and 14th centuries and the Wahhabis of the 18th century are seen of his ideological followers, linking Ibn Hanbal directly to modern-day Islamism, even to Al-Qa'ida.

		Similarly, Ibn Taymiya was highly skeptical of giving any undue religious honors to Jerusalem (al-Quds) which would cause this city, or its Muslim shrines, to approach or rival in any way the Islamic sanctity of the two most holy sites within Islam, Mecca and Medina.
		Ibn Taymiya's works became the basis of the contemporary Wahhabi or Salafi thought in Sunni Islam.

		Not only does this contain significant new autobiographical material, but, she claims, "certain indications in the prologue… suggest that… his poems, abstruse and enigmatic though they often were, were meant to be vehicles of the most esoteric aspects of his teaching" (p.48).
		Thus, Ibn 'Arabi confided his position as Seal of Muhammedian Sainthood in several verses even though this knowledge was kept private during his lifetime, trusted only to his closest disciples.
		It is usually accompanied by the commentary which Ibn 'Arabi himself wrote – a dense and often baffling text intended to elucidate the mystical meaning of the verses.

		Taymiya has no tolerance for Ash'arite theology or for sufi mysticism, but does have supporters besides the Wahhabis.
		He was the trust and strength of the orthodox; that he stood fast through imprisonment and scourging defeated the plans of the Mu'tazilites (innovating, reasoning theologians, in power and willing to persecute for their new dogmas)...
		"Ahmad ibn Hanbal, saint and ascetic, was the idol of the masses; and he, in their eyes, had maintained single-handed the honor of the Word of God.

	Literalism and the Attributes of Allah - Islam America
		As for Ibn Hazm, traditional Islamic scholars have not accepted his claims to be a mujtahid, the first qualification of which is to have comprehensive knowledge of the Koran and hadith.
		Similarly, Ibn Hazm seems to have believed the prohibition in hadith of urinating into a pool of water did not show that there is anything wrong with defecating in it.
		This is important because the anthropomorphists of his day, as well as Ibn Taymiyya in the seventh century after the Hijra, used many ascriptive constructions (idafa) that appear in hadiths and Koranic verses as proof that Allah had "attributes" that bolstered their conceptions of Him.

	PWHCE Middle East Project: Ibn Taymiyya Profile
		Ibn Taymiyya's response was that the Mongols, by implementing 'man made laws' (the Yasa code) instead of the Shariah, were in fact living in a state of jahiliyya, or pre-Islamic pagan ignorance.
		Ibn Taymiyya's puritanical attitude to new interpretations and methods of practising Islam was paradoxical since it was itself innovative.
		That Wahhabism is not simply a carbon copy of Ibn Taymiyya's teachings is most convincingly demonstrated by the fact that Wahhabism is categorically opposed to all forms of Sufism (Islamic mysticism) whereas Ibn Taymiyya was himself a Sufi.

		Ibn Taimiyya on public and private law in Islam; or Public policy in Islamic jurisprudence.
		The right view to which all the Companions (of the Prophet) agree is that the couple: the upper and the lower (the active and the passive) should be put to death, whether the term muhsan applies to them or not.
		The compilers of the Sunan have related, on the authority of 'Abdullah Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah bless him, that the Prophet, peace be upon him, has said: "When you find a couple practising the act of the people of Lot, put both to death: the doer and the done to (the active and the passive)."

		Here are ibn Taymiyyahs words, "as for those who were firmly upon the Straight Path from amongst those who traversed the path (al-mustaqeemeen min as-saalikeen) such as the majority of the shaykhs of the Salaf such as Fudayl bin Ayaadh, Ibraheem bin Adham, Abu Sulaymaan ad-Daaraanee, Ma`roof al-Kharkee, as-Siri as-Saqatee, al-Junaid bin Muhammad, and others.
		This is clear, for instance, in Ibn Taymiya's work Sharh Futuh al-Ghayb, a commentary on some technical points in the Revelations of the Unseen, a key work by the sixth-century saint of Baghdad, Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani.
		It seems that the tariqa affiliation is weakly based on Ibn taymiyya's respect for Jilani and the fact that later tariqa literature confirms his membership is not necessarily indicative of that being true.

		The elder Taymiya was an Islamic scholar and, subsequently, Ibn Taymiya would follow in his father's footsteps.
		Ibn Taymiya asserted his right to ijtihad, or independent judgement; he denounced the Muslims of his time as given to idolatry (shirk) and innovation (bidah).
		He denounced what he believed to be the errors of Sufism; he criticized many Sufi practices.
