[@yusufmaulgue8381]

Am not a scholar of Islam but the beauty of nature and goodness in humans ...staring at the stars reminds me of how much more Beautiful Allah is ..

[@islaminmyheart9348]

Allaah's beauty is not something to be imagined nor any of His attributes. Qur'an clearly states that "There is nothing like unto Him" (42:11) no matter how beautiful the universe is we shouldn't make analogy with Allaah! For He the Exalted is not put to analogy with His creation. This is our Creed and indeed the Creed of the Salaf (the predecessors). Next time dear brother you should rather speak with knowledge or just remain silence for indeed the Qur'an and Sunnah warns speaking about Allaah and religious matters without knowledge. Hope am right, correct me if am wrong.

SIMPLY SPEAKING: Hazrat Ibn e Taymiyyah wishes to ensure that his entire class passes the course (i.e., enter paradise) Hazrat Ibn e Arabi teaches to maximize the number of students who receive an A (enjoy Divine's nearness) In other words, both mean well. Now, it is up to each student to choose the scholar whose class they wish to enroll in.

[@nightstar326]

Great format, personally I agree with the differing opinions existing and mutual respect. The one element which remains undiscussed and in my view an important one is the fact that the Ummah is vast with people of many differing levels of education, wisdom, insight and understanding. To me there is no issue with different perspectives as the more ‘simplistic’ and rules based views would perfectly suit those who require a level of certainty as the levels of understanding are not as developed. The key is for those that have developed the understanding and insight to share that there can exist levels of understanding depending of spiritual wisdom and insight so that there is a level of tolerance, awareness and understanding even amongst the masses who must not be misled into thinking it is forbidden (haraam) to question or to explore or hold a different perspective. If the ummah can achieve a common understanding of the importance of questioning and being able to understand that if one cannot respond then it is possible that one doesn’t have the complete understanding and therefore rather than labelling it as haraam to consider perhaps a perspective remains unexplored and to seek perspectives from those with greater insight and wisdom.

[@techyk3582]

@@TheMercifulAndJust The understanding of Ibn Taymiyya, in my opinion, is very straightforward and strict. He allows no room for any kind of innovation or change that could occur with the ideas presented by Ibn Arabi. The philosophy presented by Ibn Arabi is merely experiences that he had when practicing a new type of zikr in multiple ways. Perhaps he got closer to Allah, but this is not guaranteed for any common Muslim. Following a straightforward approach towards Islam is more sensible and approachable for new and common Muslims who do not have a clear understanding of tawheed. My perspective does not fully align with Ibn Taymiyya. I believe we should have a clear understanding of the core principles of Islam, and then focus on what Prophet Muhammad SAW taught us. We should identify things in our lives and in the world that go against the teachings of our beloved Prophet (SAW) and have debates on them, rather than writing book after book on the philosophy of Islam in our own ways. This is also dangerous, as you might unknowingly cross the line.

[@yecly]

I tried to study scriptures by Ibn Tamyyah before, OMG migraine instantly, have to re-read hundreds of time to correlate. But I do respect his view. A great scholar.

[@yojan9238]

Ibn Taimiyya is not the mainstream of Islam, he was considered as Neo-Salafi, not the "true" Salafi of 1st, 2nd and 3rd centuries. Ibn Arabi was a Sunni, follows Maliki and Ash'ari teaching besides of tasawwuf (sufism), Maliki and Ash'ari lived in the 3rd century hegira and they were true Salafis. Ibn Taimiyya teachings are followed now by the Saudi-Wahhabi Kingdom, mainly through the teachings of the Neo-pseudo-Salafi, Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab, the leader of Wahhabism and Ibn Arabi as always is and was one of the mainstream of the Sunni understanding of tawhid in sufism. Without proper traditional learning from the masters in the knowledge of aqeeda, fiqh and tasawwuf people tend to deviate from the traditional understandings of Islam. Traditional learning with masters who have the sanad (chain of transmissions) and ijazah (license to teach) is important to understand the knowledge of Islam. We can't really understand Islam just by buying books and visiting libraries, the religion is a living religion and we take the knowledge from living people. As for the understandings of Ibn Taimiyyah and Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab, they don't have the chain of transmissions and the teachings and understandings were 'cut of' from the sanad of ulemas, simply because they use their own understandings not the understandings of the Salafus Soleh times.

Very Useful❤

[@historiaculturaespiritualidade]

In fact, the division between scholastic Islam and mystical Islam only exists at the intellectual level of classification of the different Islamic sciences. Tasawwuf is an Islamic science, just like Fiqh, Tafsir or Ahadith, and all of them emerged in a theoretical and organized form centuries after the life of the Prophet Muhammad (saws), which does not mean that they were not present as a practiced but not theoretical and organized reality in the time of the first 3 generations of Muslims. Al Gazali, Rumi, Ibn Arabi, Iman Nawawi and ibn Taymyyia were all scholars of fiqh, tafsir and Ahadith and were at the same time Sufis (practitioners of Islamic spirituality or the third level of Islam which is Ihsan Khamil). Ibn Taymiyya was also a Sufi and only criticized the unorthodox Sufis (who did not respect the Shariah). And Sufism has always been accepted by classical Sunni Islam of the four great madahab: Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi and Hambali. If one truly studies the traditional Islamic works, one will find that the above is correct and has always been so throughout Islamic history until the heretical Wahabi and Salafi sects emerged. These radical sects practice the method of the shaytan: hypocrisy, concealment of the truth and lies, and like all darkness they persecute the Sufis and their awlyias. EX: They adulterate the books of Gazali and hide the works of Imam Zakhariah Nawawi about Sufism.

[@Rodney-kr2fw]

Sunnies are divided in 4 and accuses taklif shut up

[@yojan9238]

Wahhabi adulterated the books of al-Nawawi. The ulema of Islam mainly are always followed the aqeedah of Ash'ari or Maturidi, any one of the four fiqh mazahib and the tasawwuf of Imam Ghazali. You are right brother, my late teacher always warn me about the books the Wahhabi edited to mislead the Sunni laymen. My late shaykh have the kitabs of his previous shaikh studied in Makkah in Daarul-ulum Madrasah and Shaulatiyyah madrasah. Both are Sunni traditional madrasah. Nowadays, the Daarul Ulum already closed a long time ago and Shaulatiyyah had been taken by the Saudi-Wahhabi.

[@عبدالله-ن6ه2ص]

Ibn Taymiyyah's influence was extremely important in Islamic history, and he wrote many profound works that are still considered references by Muslim scholars, and some of his students are among the most famous scholars of the Islamic nation. 1. Some Arab philosophers say that Ibn Taymiyyah is the greatest philosopher in Islamic civilization, and some say that he is the best of the scholars who criticized Aristotle’s logic. He has a book criticizing logic, opinions in philosophy, and criticism of major Greek scholars. It is said that the Ash'aris were influenced by philosophy and began to use philosophy in interpreting the attributes of the Creator, and their greatest critic was Ibn Taymiyyah. Therefore, the book Aleaqidah al-Wasitiyyah is one of the most important books of the faith that brings Muslims back to the first generations' understanding of the attributes of the Creator. 2. Ibn Taymiyyah is one of the most famous people who criticized religions and sects that he believes are deviant. Therefore, he has a book criticizing Christianity, criticizing the Shiites, criticizing the Ash’aris, etc. His books are considered references in Islamic aleaqidah books. Such as he wrote: 1. Minhaj al-Sunnah : This is in criticism of Shiite thought that came out of the circle of Islam 2. Answering those who altered the religion of Jesus Christ, In criticism of Christianity Among his important books on Islamic aleaqidah: A.The Creed of Al-wasitiyyah by Ibn Taymiyyah ( To know the attributes of the Creator in Islam) >>> Sharah al Aqeda al Wasitiyah 2 Volume Set by Shykh Muhammad bin Salih Al Uthaimin B. Explanation of a Summary of Al Aqeedatul Hamawiyyah: Authored by Ibn Taymiyyah C. Towards Understanding of Tadmuriyyah by Shaykh-Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah The Book of Tawhid: It is by Sheikh Muhammad Abd al-Wahhab and explains the teachings of Islam in Islamic monotheism. Therefore, Shiites and Sufis hate this book because it exposes their worship that conflicts with Islamic aleaqidah. I advise you to read this book, explained by Ibn Uthaymeen or Sheikh Al-Fawzan, which is very distinctive. Majmue Fatwas: A very huge book containing teachings on aleaqidat, his stories, his fatwas, his criticism of deviant doctrines, etc.

Ive read ibn taymiyah and this seems to be accurate to his perspective. Sufism has a lot of innovation that teaches esotericism which can lead to more innovation.

This world is an illusion and a short visit. We put too much emphasis on this world when it’s just the preparation for the next life. All clarity for man is through the Quran, the word of God. The Quran communicates directly to the humans intellect without the need of imams, caliphs, authors, etc to interpret the reality of Allah. The Quran is a preparation for you to navigate THE LAST HOUR. When you leave this body and transcend to your next life. The Quran tells you directly what will happen and what to do. It’s so simple.

[@swatisquantum]

…and since THE LAST HOUR will be so wild, you will be surprised and not know what’s going on if you didn’t toil with the Quran. It’s like being thrown out of deep sleep into an MMA championship fight without experience or knowledge. You’ll get eaten up. However for those who used their time on earth to know and understand The Quran will know what’s at stake, they will be the winners in the LAST HOUR and will not be lead astray to other lesser realities (Hell - jahannam) but on a pilgrimage to Jannah with full awareness of Allah by their side.

Our Shaykh al-Balqeeni said: he is a kaafir. (Ibid., p. 39) Abu Zar’ah ibn al-Haafiz al-‘Iraaqi said: Undoubtedly the famous book Al-Fusoos contains blatant kufr, as does al-Futoohaat al-Makkiyyah. If it is true that he wrote this and continued to believe in it until he died, then he is a kaafir who is doomed to eternity in Hell, no doubt about it. (Ibid., p. 60) Sheikh Al Islam: Whoever thinks well of them and claims not to know how they really are should be informed about them. If he does not then turn his back on them and denounce them, then he should be classed as one of them. Whoever says that their words could be interpreted in such a way that it does not contradict sharee’ah is one of their leaders and imaams. If he is intelligent, he should know what they really are.

I think i agree with u in a way, as a non muslim. The straight forward way is more suitable for beginners and in certain survival/societal contexts. But the perspective of ibn El arabi is more advanced in my view. It's suitable for the real truth seekers. Ibn taymiyya is just concerned about believing and following islam as he understood it, which has its own value in its proper context (like in a context of danger and instability, it creates smth to hold onto and solidly unify a people). But the mystics like El arabi are the ones who go inquire into the nature of reality themselves and verify the truth in islam for themselves (although they most prolly still have their own islamic bias too)

[@iymuslim]

In my view, Ibn a Tammiyah is ‘latter’ while Ibn a Arabi is ‘spirit’ so both views need to be understood to grasp the concept in totality. Each view sort of serve as a check on other, therefore, I see both of them as converging rather divergent path.

[@mohammadqais9194]

I also agree with both. Both arguments are convincing. Ibn Taymiyyah has a solid point based on The Holy verses that Allah is unique and there is nothing like him. Ibn Arabi also has a point. More on the spiritual side of things. But I don't think I can agree with some of the practices of some Sufis e.g. dancing.

[@info8595]

While I appreciated the thought-provoking debate between Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Arabi, I must point out two critical inaccuracies in your portrayal of Ibn Arabi. First, Ibn Arabi never coined or referred to his concept as 'unity of being' (وحدة الوجود); this term was applied to his work much later. Secondly, the depiction of Ibn Arabi defending سماع (music and dancing) is incorrect. In fact, Ibn Arabi criticized those who engaged in سماع, referring to them as 'the ignorant Sufis' (جهال الصوفية). I Your work is highly respected but I encourage you to ensure greater accuracy in the future. Your work is valuable, and with more precision, it can truly shine!

Interesting. This would have been a good debate (actually, discussion) if it occurred in real life, because BOTH men focused on in the video were legitimate scholars, and they were also ardent admirers of Al-Baz Al-Ash'hab, Sayyidina Al-Sheikh Abdul-Qadir Al-Gilani (Radiyallahu anhu), as can be found in their writings. Knowing this aspect alone, on top of them being of the Ulama, they would have utilized that point of similarity to derive their stances, their points of similarities and points of differences in a scholarly debate. And Allah Ta'ala knows best.

[@gulamsamdani3582]

What I am very much surprised is that the arguments of Ibn Arabi didn’t reference the two main pointers of Wahdat-Al-wajood. Surat Noor ayat 35 & al hadid ayat number 3. The strongest proof of that concept from Quran

What's surprising me is that I said exactly what Ibn Taymiyyah said and By Allah I've never read any book of Ibn Taymiyyah I've only recently started reading books of aqeeda I was only reading the Quran and the Hadith at that time, I wasn't even using much tafsir,, and as for my friend all I know is that he's into suffism and I don't know if he read Ibn Arabi's book.

[@rakibalmahdi2401]

Hands down Ibn Arabi wins! Ibn Tayimiyyah's concerns are valid but Ibn Arabi rests assured Ibn Tayimiyyah! Ibn Taymiyyah advocates for a static world which is not possible. Ibn Arabi does seek to change shariah NOR does he ENDORSE/Advocate bid'ah. Rather Ibn Arabi allows culture to flourish and develop in accordance to Quran and Sunnah!

[@razor-xn2ve]

[@Meems1012]

Islam and the Muslim world might have evolved quite differently in the 21st century if Ibn Arabi’s philosophy had been more widely followed. His mystical and inclusive interpretation of Islam, which emphasized love, tolerance, and the unity of all beings, could have shaped a more pluralistic and peaceful version of the religion. However, the influence of Ibn Taymiyyah, whose more rigid and literalist interpretation of Islam gained prominence, led to a different trajectory. In the 18th century, this was further cemented by the alliance between Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab and the House of Saud, which gave rise to Wahhabism. This puritanical form of Islam, rooted in Ibn Taymiyyah’s teachings, became the dominant ideology in Saudi Arabia. In the 20th century, this ideology was actively propagated with the support of Western powers, particularly during the Cold War. The West saw it as a tool to counter socialist and nationalist movements in the Muslim world, as well as to radicalize Muslims in the fight against Soviet influence in regions like Afghanistan. This alliance between Wahhabism and geopolitical interests contributed to the rise of a more radicalized form of Islam that continues to impact global politics today.

[@misschanandlerbong_]

IBN ARABI (RH) FOR THE WIN!

[@eternaltajali]

AWESOME!! As a sufi, I was wondering how would such an artistic juxtaposition of Mysticism and Orthodoxy would've been....and here's the manifestation....

[@ma5839]

Ibn Arabi suffered from a major but unforeseen flaw. He based syncretization of Greek philosophy with Islam on the premise the Greeks achieved their intellectual achievements without guidance from Divine revelation, rather only by their struggle towards excellence. The Greeks themselves claimed they achieved this without borrowing from other civilizations or from Divine revelation. They claimed Minoan to Mycenean to Hellenic ages. The reality is quite different from these claims. From Minoan age onwards, Greeks took from Kemetic Egypt. Kemet was by far a major influence. After the collapse of Mycenean Greek societies from the Sea Peoples offensive in approx 1200 bce, Greece suffered a dark age with mass migrations and changes. It is more accepted that Israelite tribe of Dan migrated from the Levant along Anatolian coast to Ionian league of southeast Greece. Israelites and Canaanite/Phoenicians traded with, married, shared, assimilated with Greeks. Such that the Hellenic Greek alphabet was derived from Canaanite/Phoenican alphabet such that Hellenic Greek priests had to travel to Kemet to have Kemetic priests translate Mycenean manuscripts. Archaeological discoveries have shown Greek enclaves lived in the Levant and Levantines lived in Greece, especially Ionian Greece from 1100bce. Exchanges of civilizations included in religion, language, maritime seamanship, food. The very polytheist mythology of Hellenic Greece was adopted from the Canaanite version of the Mesopotamian polytheist religion and pantheon. (Eg. Zeus = Baal Hadad, Mt Olympus = Jabal Aqra). These archaeological facts establish the Greek adoption of nearby Levantine civilizations which would have included Israelite and religious teachings of Israelites. As Israelites included many who integrated into polytheist Levantine society after the death of Prophet Solomon in 930 bce, it is reasonable to assume from 930bce to 600 bce, teachings of Israelite prophets and Divine revelation reached Ionia Greece.

[@batosato]

I agree with you that Muslim scholars in the past considered Greek philosopher as their spiritual leader but claiming that Ibn Arabi and his philosophy to be flawed is not true. Ibn Arabi provided a unified view of Islam which is based on metaphysics, Ibn Arabi wanted people to understand that God does not have anthropomorphic qualities while Ibn Tamiyyah did believe that Quran describe God literally and not metaphorically. According to Ibn Tamiyyah and later Salafism, God has hands much like humans which contradict Ibn Arabi's understand of a formless God beyond physical world.

Go and read the work of the early scholars, ibn taymiah was only quoting from the pious predecessors. Some of the pious predecessors translate itiwa as sitting. Whether that is correct or not is another debate of his own. Ibn taymiahs methodology is base on Quran and Sunnah and the understanding of pious predecessors, he might get things wrong however that doesn't mean his methodology is wrong.

[@dcanebreezy5784]

This is not what he said. But a guy said it and His name is " الرحالة ابن بطوطة" The guy who said that was lying and at that time "ibn taymiyah" was in prison and died in prison. If you follow the story and exact timing, u will find that he lied! They used to fabricate against Taymiyah so they jail him. He was jailed 6 or 7 times Because he was against bida'ah Stop the cap! i challenge u to bring me this from his books. Open challenege! This is just too much lies, too much missinformation about the man. Plus, it's not about Istiwaa but About the Hadith Of rassul Allah أخرج البخاري في صحيحه (1145) ومسلم (1261) عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه ، أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: " ينزل رَبُّنَا تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا حِينَ يَبْقَى ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الآخِرُ يَقُولُ : مَنْ يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ مَنْ يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ مَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ" . وقد روى هذا الحديث عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم نحوٌ من ثمانية وعشرين صحابياً ـ رضي الله عنهم We do not know how, Rassul Allah said it. We believe it! Period Allah's istiwa'a or Hearing, seeing ..etc is nothing similar to ours. That's what salaf believed and that's what ibn taymiyah believe and defended against Philosophers of Ilm al kalam who interpret The sifat and names according to plato logic. We can not understand the unseen, we say what Allah and his prophet said About istiwa'a take this. Therefore, when Imam Malik bin Anas, may Allah have mercy on him, was asked about the Almighty’s saying: [The Most Gracious is established above the Throne] (Ta-Ha: 5). He said: Istiwaa is known, the how is unknown, belief in it is obligatory, and asking about it is an innovation. So his answer indicated three things, which are: The first: proving the attributes without interpretation. Second: Delegation of how. Third: is avoiding talking about the unseen. 2/529 الاستذكار

[@habibrahman5491]

Those who dived deep in to the nature of reality from the perspectives of Quran/Sunnah, math, quantum physics, and self discovery ( Fitrah) through intution, deep meditation, etc. clearly know ( different from blind belief) that Ibn Al Arabi was both inclusive and comprehensive in realizing Tawhid. He realized in heart La Ilaha IllallAh.as well as Muhammadur Rasullah. Let us remember that all saints and prophets spent time in solitude in deep mediation/self discovery including our Prophet ( PBUH). Sadly, most scholars were misled by blind knowledge and ego.

The owner of this channel and the ignorant keyboard warriors in the comments section should fear Allah and learn to go back to the scholars and seek knowledge through them. Ibn Arabi was an extreme sufi and a kafir. Here's a glimpse of what some scholars mention about him: Ibn Hajar said: Some confusing words of Ibn ‘Arabi were mentioned to our master Shaykh al-Islam Siraaj al-Deen al-Balqeeni, and he was asked about Ibn ‘Arabi. Our Shaykh al-Balqeeni said: he is a kaafir. (Ibid., p. 39) Abu Zar’ah ibn al-Haafiz al-‘Iraaqi said: Undoubtedly the famous book Al-Fusoos contains blatant kufr, as does al-Futoohaat al-Makkiyyah. If it is true that he wrote this and continued to believe in it until he died, then he is a kaafir who is doomed to eternity in Hell, no doubt about it. (Ibid., p. 60) Sheikh Al Islam: Whoever thinks well of them and claims not to know how they really are should be informed about them. If he does not then turn his back on them and denounce them, then he should be classed as one of them. Whoever says that their words could be interpreted in such a way that it does not contradict sharee’ah is one of their leaders and imaams. If he is intelligent, he should know what they really are. But if he believes in it and behaves like this openly and in secret, then he is a worse kaafir than the Christians. (Ibid., p. 25-28 - adapted and abbreviated)

It wasnt a Feud. Rather then the fact that Ibne Taimiya has ever left Arabic World and didnt travel Thats why he is hardly even quoted outside the 22 Arab countries, and the Muslim World has today 57/58 countries with 35 non Arab Countries. Due to that, his thinking is highly rigid and traditional which is only addressed for the Arab mentality. This was the same problem with Imam Maalik too who hard ever even left Madina in his lifetime. These early Islamic Scholars.hence dont have the solutions and depth. They dont address the problems of the changing times and era nor do they address the problems, wants, needs and mentality of the non Arabs. Everything is just Black and White for them. Ibne Arabi actually brings in the deep understanding of the Islamic Aqaid and then encourages out of box thinking rather then to confine yourselves in mere traditional thought. Thats why he is considered the master of masters in the non arab world and has a large following. Sufism is famous because of him. And thats why Islam spread amongst he Non Arabs as fast as it did that today Arab opinions are considered as minority and regionally restricted opinions.
