________________________
Shaykh al-Islam Ahmad ibn 'Abd al-Haleem ibn Taymiyah is regarded as one of the prominent mujaddids (renewers and revivers) of Islam. He was born in 661 AH and died in 728 AH (may Allah have mercy on him). If the efforts of a mujaddid bear fruit in his own time and generation, the efforts of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah began to bear fruit in his own time and have continued to do so until the present, affecting scholars and seekers of knowledge and Islamic groups that belong to Ahl al-Sunnah wa'l-Jama'ah. Scholars still refer to his books to refute the enemies of Islam among the Jews and Christians and sects that claim to belong to Islam such as the Raafidis, Huloolis and Jahamis, and innovated sects such as the Ash'aris and Murji'is.
His achievements in the fields of fiqh, hadeeth, tafseer and sulook (ways of drawing close to Allah) are too well known.
His books and writings bear witness to that and he does not need anyone like us to praise him, rather his knowledge and fiqh are extant and bear witness that no one can deny except one who is ignorant or stubborn.

By Allah I'm so glad I came across this talk I am a newly practicing sister and heard so much confusion on this great man. In as little as a year I have heard seen and read people slander lie swear about him. jazakallah thank you lots for this. Allah give you everything you ask for Ameeen

[@ummsofia100]

@ummsalma sister I am a newly practicing revert and my friends told me to stay away from Ibn taymiyyah and muhammad ibn abdul wahabs books even though they do not practice the Deen they still had the nerve to make statements, give fatawas, curse scholars an speak about that which they did not know. Subhanallah how shaytan has deluded many Muslims is beyond me

[@007raad]

I heard that Ibn Taymiah (ra) had the biggest Janazah prayer ever in this ummah. Apparently they done his Janazah prayers from Morocco to China. Even people who didn't agree with his methodology or his rulings acknowledged his lifes works and attended his janazah prayer.

[@Ajazm001]

Ibn taymeyyah was the extinguisher of bida and shirk. The reviver of the sunnah an no one who knows about him will deny this

[@islambest4105]

may Allah grant sheikh ul islam the highest paradise for serving and defending islam rest of his life ..allahuakbar

[@025saleem]

I met him 2-3 months ago in a PROFCON functn..He is a good friendly person..He reverted from Christianity to Islam..

[@ThePhenomenal786]

Stick to the Quran and hadith sister, Ibn Tamiya and Abdul Wahab books are used for learning rule of law. You can read them but do not make the quran secondary to other scholars books.

[@themanalif]

Subhannallah....We ask Allah a.w.j. to give our brother Abu Usaamah { Hafeethahullah} long life , and plant his feet firm and to assist him against those who disbelieve, and to continue to grant him beneficial knowledge, Amin...

[@mohamedmorowa4333]

knowledge is power

[@sadhiqueajeena8832]

No middle path. Only straight path

[@akbarazad93]

Jazakallahu khayran bro KhalifahKlothing. What was different and amazing was that Ustadh Abu Usamah mentioned that we cannot go to extremes in our opinion towards Shaikhul Islam Al-Mujaddid Ahmad Ibn Taimiyyah rahimahullah. May Allah make him and those who defend the sunnah among the people of Jannatul Firdaws.

[@taimur74]

One of the greatest sheikhs around. May Allah (SWT) bless you Abu Usamah and may we continue to benefit from your knowledge

[@arabjin666]

I love this imam!

[@123lesta]

Asalamau alaykum, is this Ibn Taimiyyah the same one who spoke of Adam (as) done waseela through prophet muhammad by which Allah forgave him? I heard this was a fabricated hadith and Ibn Taymiyyah was a Fabricator/innovater?

[@arabjin666]

123lesta I am not familiar of what you speak of. I just like to think good of my Muslim brothers. If he made a mistake then I ask Allah to forgive him. Make excuses for your Muslim brothers and sisters.

[@123lesta]

Hussein Radi You are certainly right akhi, but the people of innovation use this hadith to prove Tawassul through the prophet.

[@missgetithowyoulive]

Ibn Taimiyyah (ra) was a prisoner I found shaikhul-Islam as a prisoner myself

[@ummsofia100]

[@LifeisGood130]

subhaan'allaah abu usamah I love you for the sake of Allaah. You put everything into perspective the talk was well laid out. May Allaah defend you for defending one of the greatest scholars of Islaam.

[@ummsofia100]

jazk for your help brother. Alhamdulellah I do follow the Qu'ran and hadeth . I wanted to see for myself if what my sufi friends said was true or not. I was amazed to know what knowledge these scholars left behind them it was thought these scholars that led me to following the Qu’ran/ sunnah according to the best generations of Islam

[@shakamohamed5628]

Life and Struggles of Ibn Taymiyyah. No one is perfect except Allah and Rasool

[@taimur74]

may Allah bless this sheikh

[@sanaullasharief5319]

The Hanafis do not know, what their Imaam said, Abu Haneefah (d. 150/767) rah mullah said: “It is not proper for anyone to say anything about ath-Thaat (the essence) of Allaah, but one must describe Him as He described Himself. He must not say of his own opinion anything about Him; Exalted, and Most High is the Rabb of Al-Aalameen.” (Sharh Al-Aqeedah Tahaawiyyah, 2:427, checked by Dr. Abdullah At-Turkee and Shu’ayeb Arna’ut Muassasatur-Risaalah 1416/1995) He also said: “Allaah is not to be described by the qualities of creation; His Anger and pleasure are two of Allaah’s Attributes without Kayf. This represents the saying of Ahlus Sunnah wal jamaa’ah, He gets Angry and Becomes Pleased, and it is not befitting to say that His Anger means His punishment and that His pleasure is His Reward.” (See I’tiqaad Al-Aa’imah Al-Arba’a, p.9-10, Daar Al-Aasimah, Riyaadh, 1412/1992 and usool-ud-deen Inda Al-Imaam Abu Haneefah, p.311, Daar As-Sumayee’aee, Riyadh, 1416/1996, both by Dr. Muhammad bin Abdur Rahman Al-khumayyis. Again, Imaam rah mullah is affirming the True and real meanings of the Attributes of Anger and Pleasure and negating the Tahreef distortion through metaphoric interpretation of the Sifaat which is wrongly called Ta’weel by Ahluh Kalama (people who follow scholastic theology) and those who are affected by this approach. The anger and pleasure of Allaah is not like what is attributed to the created as abu hateful rah mullah emphasized in the beginning of the above quoted statement. Had the Magnification of Allaah been linked to Ta’weel, abu Haneefa would have been the first to adopt it. Certainly Allaah gets Angry and becomes Pleased as He wishes and that does not necessitate that we liken Him to His creation when these attributes are affirmed)

MAY ALLAH HELP US ALL AMEEN,,,AMEEN...AMEEN.

[@ummsofia100]

Allahuakbar brilliant talk thanks

[@livewire59naz]

masha allah may allah bless this imam abu usamah i love his explanation barakallah hu feeq.

[@BillowJr]

Kalaam (words) or ‘Ilm-ul-Kalam (Islamic philosophy) is a discipline that searches for answers to creed issues using logic. The majority of fuqaha’ (scholars) have stated that it is haraam (forbidden) to study philosophy.

[@Ajazm001]

Ibn taymeyyah allah have mercy on him was the extinguisher of bida and shirk. The reviver of the sunnah an no one who knows about him will deny this. Abu Usamah an naseha and khalifah klothing jazakallah khaer

[@MrObaid234]

Assalamoalaikum Alhamdulillah awesum lecture over alll just one thing which Shaikh could have cleared a in a better way is Ibn Taymiyyah on Mawjizaat because there shouldnt be even a lil room for Sufi Bidaah from the Ahlul Hadith .Shaikh should have explained that it is not something which was always like that ,there may have been some instances and Allah knows best and yes definitely believing that someone may tel you something regarding future is Kufr which should be understood

[@taimur74]

Can someone explain what kalam is btw ?

[@abdisamadmohamed3887]

Today no ibada no knowledge yet ta asub they will add the salafiyah to whom they love and kick out to whom they don't like but shaykhul Islam more ibada more knowledge more justice
