I m half way down the work of Dr Hoover on ibn taymiyyahs theodicy of perpetual optimism. All i can say is I have never seen a genius on the level of ibn taymiyyah (rh) till date. Its just mindblowing. His caliber as theologian is almost unmatched. Not to mention he is a giant figure in Tafsir, Hadith science and Fiqh. Truly the person deserve the title of Shaikh al Islam.

[@absba9]

Well done man. you capture the figure if Ibn Taymiy very well. I am more fascinated in his work in logic. The man was brilliant. He is of the caliber of Godel easily.

[@syedahmedshaheer117]

true, IT is Godel of 13 th cen when it comes to logic and rhetoric. That alone makes him awesome. However, he didnt limit his work to that only. He worked extensively in Quran s tafsir (his work Principles of Tafsir) Hadith, and fiqh. His major few students were Ibn kathir (tafsir specialist), Ad Dhahabi (One of the biggest figure in haidith science in sunni school), Ibn Mufith(one of the biggest fiqh expert in Hanbali school) and his magnum opus student Ibn Qayyim who worked on theology logic and fiqh and is tremendously well known for that. More I study this guy more i get baffled.

[@taimur74]

his intellectual smackdowns of deviant sects was absolutely mind blowing to read .. A true lion of the Sunnah

[@abdallah2018]

@syed ahmed: Ibn Taymiyyah affirmed limits, size and spatial characteristics to Allah (swt) and justified this heresy through kalam based on crude "logic". This is nothing but acts of sheer disbelief and innovation. His books remain a cancerous tumor upon the ummah. He followed his own whims and attributed them to the Salaf in spite of scriptural evidence to the contrary.

[@abdallah2018]

@syed ahmed "To summarize the issue of hadd (limit) in relation to Allaah, Ibn Taymiyyah underlined in his books Dar' At-Ta‘aarudh and Bayaan Talbees Al-Jahmiyyah that Allaah is beyond the limits that we know but has a limit that only He knows." This is a reprehensible bidah in matters of aqeeda wich constitutes unbelief. No salaf or prophet ever said this. whoever subscribes to this belief leaves the fold of islam. Do not be taken in by Ibn Taymiyyahs eloquence and impressive memory, his beliefs are the worst plague to ever infest the ummah of islam.

[@khalidamin5594]

Western philosophy needs 2500 years more to first mature itself, and then try to understand and appreciate Ibn Tayimiah. He is one of the great scholars who refuted Aristotelian logic and ontology.... Which according to Martin Heidegger has wasted 2500 years of Western philosophy. (c.f Being and Time, Martin Heidegger).

[@drmushtaqbhat5476]

Well said

[@oceanmachine1906]

Western philosophy is still trying to deal with the failure of Christianity and hasn't yet come to terms with the fact that Prophet Muhammad comes after Jesus, therefore the seed and heart of the Islamic Revelation being in truth, far more modern than the "modernity" of the secular western post-Christian world.

[@wtalkie]

True. Actually if Ibn Taymiyyah was alive today he would denounce Osama Bin Laden ideology. Osama bin laden quotes the things he need and ignores the ideas that opposes him. For example, Ibn Taymiyyah wrote a lot against Khawarej ideology and the necessity of obedience to the rulers of Islam for the benefit of the public even if they have some downfalls. He also wrote a lot about criteria for Takfir. Which is all against the ideology of Osama bin Laden.

You would be surprised if you know that Ibn Tayymiah has written most of his books in prison from memory without references, and he was quick in writing, so he wrote “Hamuyiah aqeedah” creed of Hamah between time of noon (Dhur) and evening (asr), and wasytiah ( creed of Wasit) in one night, people until today reading them and books were written explaining them.

[@sanaullasharief5319]

HAD IBN TAYMIYYAH (died 1328 CE) BEEN LIVING TODAY , Ibn Taymiyyah says at the beginning of his Manaqib al-Sham wa Ahlih (Virtues of al-Sham and Its People), explaining his reason for composing the treatise in the midst of events of the years 700-702 H, when Damascus was successfully defended against the ravaging Mongol army that had sacked Baghdad and was aiming for the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah in order to deal a fatal blow to Islam itself, “There are many virtues of al- Sham and its people established by the Book, the Sunnah and the traditions of the people of knowledge, and this is one of the things I relied upon in my encouraging the Muslims to fight the Tatars, my order to them to remain in Damascus, my forbidding them from fleeing to Egypt, and my inviting the Egyptian military to Syria and consolidating the Syrian military already there …” Ibn Taymiyyah ends the treatise thus, “Indeed, the fulfillment of these Prophetic texts became apparent in the most complete manner during our Jihad against the Tatars. Allah manifested for the Muslims the truth of that which we had promised them, and the barakah of that with which we had commanded them. This was a magnificent victory, the like of which the Muslims had not seen [in that age]: the imposing edifice of the Tatar kingdom, that had humiliated the people of Islam, was never routed or defeated the way it was defeated at the gate of Damascus in the great battle [of Shaqhab] during which Allah showered upon us so many of His favors that we cannot enumerate them, neither generally nor specifically.” ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IBN TAYMIYYAH WOULD NOT HAVE ALLOWED SYRIANS MASS EXODUS.

it's not because he criticized "shrine cult" that he was against "Sufis" as a whole, do get educated on the matter and what he thought of shaykh Al Jilani (r), a Hanbali Sufi, and what his student Ibn Qayyim (r) though of shaykh Al Harawi (r), another Hanbali Sufi and staunch Athari who refuted the Ash'ariyyah. AFAIK there are 1-2 entire volumes in the Maj'mua al Fatawa dedicated to tassawuf or "Sufism". Makdisi, a Western scholar, already showed earlier that Hanabila were in fact more Sufi oriented than all other madhahib.

The Mongols had converted to Islam, but Ibn Taymiyya ruled that they should be fought anyway because they resembled the rebel Kharijis of early Islam. Some contemporary jihadists have invoked Ibn Taymiyya's anti-Mongol rulings to justify making enemies of fellow Muslims.

Actually, the Mongols claimed to be muslim, but were not implementing Islamic legislation (Shariah). The Mongols refused to rule according to Quran and Sunnah and instead implemented their laws derived from their traditions of Tengrism.

You have totally MISUNDERSTOOD Sheikhul Islam ibn Taymia and that's because you dont know Arabic and therefore dont have proper access to his books!! Ibn Taymia رحمه الله and Ahlus Sunnah believe that Allah created Good and Evil and gave man the free will to choose between doing either, whilst strongly prohibiting mankind from any evil hence Evil cannot be attributed to Allah at all! Infact Allah created all actions but warned those committing evil of severe punishment in this world or the next! Evil exists due to divine wisdom but in no way can it be attributed to God Almighty because he has clearly outlawed all of it! So no our understanding is nothing like the Jews or Christians because our narrative actually makes sense! God Almighty has given us the choice between good and evil and when evil becomes the accepted norm he has punished nations with natural disasters and plagues and the innocents caught up were told not to live amongst such evil but didn't listen! God Almighty sent messengers to us and calamities befell them as a test from God Almighty and as a lesson to us on how to grin and bear hardship because being tested is part of faith and so being sick feels evil to us but it's a test of our faith and a chance to draw near to God Almighty and repent and so such tests can actually be a blessing in disguise. What's more he has commanded us to stay clear of harm and protect ourselves from it and from others and that's because some harms must exist to complete the balance of this world! Bees can kill us but their honey is a tasty cure for us and the food chain exists because everything was created in wisdom the venomous and the predators all exist in a balance! I think you need to re-read his works in Arabic...
