Dr.Sa’eed Ramadaan Al-Booti Defends Ibn Taymiyyah

Even Dr. Sa'eed Ramadaan al-Buti, who Kabbani happily quotes (pp. 117-134) because he wrote what was in Kabbani's view a 'landmark study of the 'Salafi' innovation', is quick to point out the fallacy of the accusations against ibn Taymiyyah:

"We are amazed when we see the extremists declaring ibn Taymiyyah, may Allaah have mercy upon him, to be an unbeliever. And also at them saying that he was one who held Allaah to be a body (mujassid), and I have studied long and hard as to where I could find a statement or a word from ibn Taymiyyah that he wrote or said which would indicate his holding Allaah to be a body as was quoted from him by as-Subki and others and I have not found anything from him like this. All I found was him saying in his legal rulings, 'Indeed Allaah has a Hand as He said, and has risen over the Throne as He said, and He has an Eye as He said'."

Al-Buti adds to this:

"I referred to the last work written by Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari, 'al-Ibaanah', and I found him saying exactly what ibn Taymiyyah said..."

(Nadwa Ittjaahaat al-Fiqr al-Islaamee, pp. 264-265, of al-Buti)

True or out of context?

Asslamo Allaikum,

Shaykhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (RA) was a great Servant of Allah (SWT) who strove all his life to establish the Sunnah of Rasul-ullah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam), he was human so he wasn't perfect.

We should make dua for me, defend him from false allegations & ask Allah (SWT)'s forgiveness on his behalf.

Subhanullah! People leave all fairness & Justice aside in extremism.

Shaykhul Islam..... Ibn Taymiyyah (RA) ..............sound not right

what does Al Buti say man?

[Saeed M]

Shaykhul Islam..... Ibn Taymiyyah (RA) ..............sound not right

Our respected teacher Mufti Shabbir Ahmad sahib at Darul Uloom, Bury as well as many of my other teachers all refer to him as the above, even though there are issues which we clearly disagree with him.

Assalamu alaikum brother,

it is likely that the youths in your place are taking things which he(RA) said out of context. Do not let what they do have impact on your mindset. He(rahmatullah alaih) is a great scholar of islam and has sacrificed for islam. Many hanafi, shafi ulemas regard him highly.

Allahu 'alam

jazakallah khair
