Great video. We absolutely love a video on Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya

[@PerennialWisdom]

Thank you so much for sharing this figure. Such a comprehensive video! Indeed, it is difficult to consider Ibn Taymiyya a Sufi, because usually academics categorise a Sufi into two schools, either "Tasawwuf Sunni" or "Tasawwuf Falsafi". However, Ibn Taymiyya himself in fact cannot be classified into these two schools of Sufism. Fazlur Rahman felt the need to make up a new typology to cover Ibn Taymiyya's Sufism style outside of Sunni Sufism and Falsafi Sufism. This typology is termed neo-Sufism by him. The views of Ibn Taymīyah and his loyal disciple, Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, are then classified as neo-Sufism. These two classical figures are considered by him the pioneers of neo-Sufism; a Sufism school characterised by a great emphasis on moral motives and the application of the methods of remembrance and muraqabah to God. In contrast to Rahman, several academics such as Mustafa Hilmi and 'Abd al-Qadir Mahmud categorise the position of Ibn Taymiyya's Sufism outside the typology of Sunni Sufism and Falsafi Sufism as well as neo-sufism, that is "Salafi Sufism" (al-Tasawwuf al-Salafi). This typology is considered in line with the model of Salafism of Ibn Taymiyya.

[@Abdulrahman_Hi]

Many make the mistake of comparing "Salafism" with Protestantism. The "message" might be the same, but the application and the resources are very much different. Also, the main divide here is between the Salafists and the Asharite/Maturidites. Shiites are not included in the picture, as they're a completely different breed of Islam and are considered extreme heretics by both Salafists and Asharites (excluding extreme sufis, who share many of Shiites traditions hence they consider Salafists enemies by nature). The message is clear and simple. We have clear and unambiguous instruction from our Prophet peace be upon him, the companions, and all Imams that follows from the first three generations, that whoever and whatever innovations, big or small, that is introduced into the religion (Islam), is rejected. This leads to the major division between Salafists and Asharites, is that Asharites, very much later after the Prophet's death (peace be upon him), they went into explaining Allah's nature and attributes in a manner that is extremely new and innovative, bringing in western philosophies and sciences in order to substantiate their beliefs (with good intention ofcourse). Again, I have to stress the point that the divide between the Salafis and the Ashartes is not as extreme, not even mildly close, as the divide between Sunnis in general and Shiites. This is proven by the adoption of knowledge between Salafis and Asharites, where (majority of) Asharites consider Ibn Taymiyyah as a great scholar (with mistakes), whereas Shias consider him the number 1 heretic and enemy of their religion.

Actually i can argue three things that were said in this amazing video: 1. His "harsh" fatwa against alawits and duruz, it was not an unique fatwa of his own, and this fatwa had a political side in the context of thier negative role in the ongoing conficts that time, and this fatwa got very influent and popular because it came from such an important influent scholar/fighter and made him more popular. 2. His fatwa against mongols, again there was a historical and political context, when mongols invading the heart of the islamic empire and some of muslims were having second thoughts defending themselves against the invaders because some of them declared themselves muslims, so ibn teymiyye said that even if some of them believe in some islamic ideas and believes, they still should be fought back. 3. The views againt "taklid" that were mentioned in the video seems like the anti-taklid school in the 20th century, not ibn teymiyye's view himself, he always had been a hanbali scholar, but felt himself free to go beyond his hanbali school when he found it right, and had the courage to do it alot of times but in the frame of hanbali school, the nowadays school of salafis (or most of them) do not look to this that way, and some of them went too extreme in baning "taklid" completely

[@muhammedmemduhoglu7854]

And i want to add something i believe in, ibn teymiyye's school influents a lot of movements nowadays (wahabis, salafis, isis, etc) but you can rarely find a scholar nowadays that follows ibn teymiyye's school from a to z, most of them are just following his theologic thoughts (regarding god's attributes). for example, he was totally against saint graves visiting, but when wahhabi movement started its war against sufi movements in hijaz area, ibn teymiyye's words was just used to justify the war, even if ibn teymiyye himself didnt mentioned a word about starting a war againt this graves! The same happend with al-qaida and takfir movements in general, i realy admire ibn teymiyye's work and message in his era, i believe he was a genius, and i realy get sad when i see movements using his name and writings to justify or support thier own thoughts and actions

11:29 Ibn Taymiyyah wasn't against dhikr, this is completely false . The asal of dhikr is established from Qur'ān and Sunnah. Instead what he was against is dhikr in unison i.e people sitting together and reciting and praising Allah's name together in one voice. This according to him was bida' and not the dhikr itself. So according to Ibn Taymiyyah if people get together inorder to remember Allah i.e dhikr its fine as long as they dont start doing this in unison in one voice. He (Ibn Taymiyyah) will call this bida' because it wasn't established from Qur'ān and Sunnah and neither the first three generations....

[@ShawayFH]

a lot of people claim the aqeedah of Ibn Taymiyyah are the one's of the pious predecessors, even though its creed is not in line with the predecessors, as it emphasizes many ambiguous ayats of the Qur'an literally, whereas the default Athari position was a form of unreflective traditionalism, where you don't ask anything and leave the meaning to god. the Ash'ari and Maturidi do tafwidh, but they add up a meaning to find the hikma behind the ayat, while at the same time knowing that the true meaning is left to Allah. I really hope this makes people understand the difference. nonetheless, great video, there are some errors in the "Bi la Kayf" of Ibn Taymiyyah, as he imposes the modality of mutashabihat ayats, but a lot of them are pretty descriptive.

[@hxyzazolchak]

I don't know what ibn taymiyyah wrote but atharis do not take make anthropomorphic interpretations.

[@ShawayFH]

@@hxyzazolchak depends of what strand of athari we're talking about here, the true athari (which lives on through Ibn Qudamah) creed is the creed of the shahaba, which is not anthropomorphic at all, whereas those who follow the modern salafi creed and claim to be athari is unfortunately slightly anthropomorphic.

[@theokra]

@@hxyzazolchak from my experience they ("Salafis" in particular) generally hold an anthropomorphic stance, as they take mentions of the "face" or "hands" or such of God to be literal. So they say God has a face and hands and legs but unlike those of humans. Mainstream Sunnis (Ash'ari and Maturidi) have usually held these as descriptive metaphors.

[@HamzaBaqoushi]

I think the Ashaari creed has been shaped by politics in a way to serve as an official state relgion. There are many similarities between it and the Christian orthodoxy, from which the Ashaarism has borrowed the "Divine right" among many other political feature. That was not possible without some theological resemblance too. We know that al-Kalam (Ashaari theology system) is mainly inspired by the Christology which is based on Aristotle syllogism. In a time when Aristotle was veneered either by the Church or by the Muslim erudits as well,Ibn Taymiyyah compiled one of the earliest critique studies to Aristotle to prove Aristole was wrong, just to serve his endeavor to refute Ashaarism, which opened the path for later ones such as Francis Bacon and René Descartes against the Catholic Church.

Long-awaited episode! I did a presentation on Ibn Taymiyya and his understanding of Theodicy a couple of months ago.

[@eladdad]

Search Fakhr al-Din al-Razi, also a great theologian, the best imo because he had some kind of honesty that was rare in those times. Al-Razi basically came to the conclusion that the mind (or logic) can only go so far in understanding the world (and God), I think Ibn Taymiyya built on his achievements. Also, I think Al-Ghazālī isn't the brightest of muslim theologians, he's just famous in western circles because William Lane Craig popularized him.

Great work! I think I can add one point: Ibn Taymiyya's harsh fatwas on shia in general were motivated by politics, The mongol illkhanate accepted islam and favoured Shia ideology over sunni ideology, that meant Muslims in levant had to fight invading MUSLIM mongols. That made the notion to fight mongols back less popular,as they already had an overwhelming power in addition to their cruelty, and fact that mongols accepted islam made it even more complicated. In fact Ibn taymiyya's most popular book( Minjah Al sunna Al nabawiyya) is a response to a book called ( Minhaj Al Karama fi Ithbat Al Imamah) written by Ibn Mutahhar Al Hilli who was the head of Shia scholars during his lifetime(first to be given the title Ayatollah), Ibn Al Mutahhar himself was a student of Nasir Aldin Al Tusi, A prominent Shia scholar, who was an advisor to the infamous Hulagu Khan. It's accepted among Sunnis and Shia today that Ibn Al Mutahhar was the reason Mongol illkhanate officials favoured Shia doctrine over its Sunni counterpart. So in my own personal opinion: Ibn Taymiyya viewed Shia as an enemy that was trying to undermine the Muslim world. He never viewed them as Muslims with different views. Same goes to other Shia minorities: alawites and duruz: he accused (in his fatwa) these minorities of siding and aiding mongols and crusaders. In short: Ibn Taymiyya and his critique of Shia and their beliefs were the result of Muslim-Mongol conflict

"Saying GOD has a hand but unlike our hands such and such..." is tashbiyh, the other side of the coin to tajsiym. Ibn Taymiyya errors are twofold, in Fiq'h and in 'Aqiyda (ie he clearly delve into Kalaam something that Hanabila do not allow in their Asthaariyya creed). When the Shaykhul Islaam, Imaam Taqiyuddiyn As-Subkiy RHM said he learnt without a guide/teacher, it was in reference to his second errors, as he is held in high regards among the Hanabila, unfortunately, where he is ranked at the 3rd or 4th level in their scholarship ranking, again unfortunately. The 2nd problem is where the real issue is. Since Hanabila can't really deal with his Kalaam without delving into Kalaam themselves, his Kalaam thus fall into the jurisdiction of the Ash'ariyya scholarship to deal with. His final legacy is dividing Muslims whenever his name is mentioned. His greatest legacy is that his name can never unify the Muslims and will forever split and tear apart any Muslim society where his name surfaces among them. One can never escape their lifetime's handiwork.

Ok so the door has a different hand, the clock has a different hand, the fridge has a different hand, and what do they all have in common? They all have a body to it. so either way your doing tashbih which is kufr, When Allah says hand we accept the texts of course. However, hand has so many symbolical and lexicographical as well as PHYSICAL meanings. Since we have so many meanings this would be classed as Mutashabih and we do not say which of those it is. Rather, we do Tafwīdh by accepting the ayah (unlike the Jahmiyyah who reject and reinterpreted) and we say Allah has a hand or two hands and stop there. No further of, do I mean physical hand (which isn't possible for Allah anyways) do I mean metaphorical? We leave the meaning to Allah, yad is not to be translated into english, imam abu hanifa clearly states in fiqh al akbar not to translate yad into other languages, yad is not necessarily hand

@@kbayli.jsk1256 Imam Abu Haneefah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Allah has a Hand, a Countenance and an Essence as He, may He be exalted, mentioned in the Qur’an. Whatever Allah, may He be exalted, has mentioned in the Qur’an of His having a Countenance, Hand and Essence, these are attributes of His which we affirm without discussing how. It cannot be said that His Hand is His power or blessings, because that is denying the attribute, and is the view of the Qadaris and Mu‘tazilah. Rather His hand is a divine attribute, and we do not discuss how it is; His wrath and His pleasure are divine attributes, and we do not discuss how they are.

A lot of folks here drawing parallels between protestantism/Luther and Ibn Taymiyyah enterprise. But there is a KEY difference between the two attempts at “Reformation”; whereas Luther wanted to make every Christian a priest itself (which is why he translated Bible in German), Ibn Taymiyyah wanted to go back to religion interpreted by prophets companions.

Great video!! But there is something I never understood why no one mention it when talking about ibn taymiyyah that his philosophy is fundamentally an islamization of stoicism while taking none of their ethics the issue of corporealism and anthromorphism also the issue of تسلسل الحوادث (tasalsul alhawādith) and some of his critique of aristotelian logic comes from stoic philosophy it’s barely mentioned I understand the puritanical nature of his teaching and his followers would be discouraging to mention this aspect of his philosophy but why it’s barely even by people that aren’t his followers and some time his critics is beyond me

[@garyoates4142]

if you want to see islam you must go to the prophet and what he said , and what the quran said ! these philosophers came later and with their own thinking they changed islam to suit themselves !! there is no need for this in islam as the religion was completed with muhammad !! no need for no philosophy my friend !

Stoicism in its time was highly influenced by Judaism in the first place. Many aspects of Stoicism is in line with Abrahamic tradition because of this. Taymiyyah's similarities with Stoicism does not mean he was influenced by them. Islam in its core have already many similarities and Taymiyyah tried to bring them out to the light.

honestly, sometimes it feels like ibn taymiyyah and his followers are from a different religion than mine, even though we are all muslim. fantastic work either way, of course. edit: there seems to be some confusion about this comment. i am a twelver shi'ite, and a relatively "progressive"-minded one at that, so what i mean by saying that it feels like ibn taymiyyah and i come from different religions is that our interpretation of islam is completely different. when i said "fantastic work" i was complimenting the author of the video, not ibn taymiyyah.

Well, when I explain things I would not act is if there is an "Islamic terrorism". But 'Let's talk Religion" felt the need to repeat this narrative. In my opinion it is normal that people defend themselves when attacked - also in Muslim lands. "But we need to explain jihadist movements!" Yes, on one unimportant page and not in a negative way.
