Was Ibn Taymiyyah From Ahl al-Sunna Wa Al-Jama'a? - Online book

[afriki_haqq]

In the second volume of the Malfuzat of Faqih al-Ummah Mufti Mahmud al-Hasan al-Gangohi there is a brief discussion on the opinion of some scholars concerning Shaykh al-Islam Ib Taymiyyah

Ibn Taymiyyah in the opinion of Ibn Hajar Makki, Taj al-Deen Subki and 'Allamah Kashmiri رحمة الله عليهم

'Allamah Ibn Hajar Makki al-Shafi`i رحمة الله عليه (d. 974 H) who lived in the time of [the Mughal] King Humayun and came long after Hafidh Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani ,رحمة الله عليه (d. 852 H) very strongly opposed Hafidh Ibn Taymiyyah (who is regarded as a Hanbali as stated in the muqaddamah (introduction) of Faidh al-Bari, 1:45). In his book Fatawa Hadithiyyah, he writes:
لا تصغ الى ما في كتب ابن تيمية وتلميذه ابن القيم الجوزية ممن اتخذ الهه هواه وأضله الله على علم وختم على
سمعه وقلبه وجعل على بصره غشاوة
In another place, he writes: “May Allah send such a lightening from the sky which will burn Ibn Taymiyyah and his followers thereby cleansing the earth.”

'Allamah Taj al-Din al-Subk dedicated 32 pages in refuting Ibn Taymiyyah in Al-Tabaqat al-Kubra. 'Allamah Anwar Shah Kashmiri رحمة الله عليه was an admirer of Ibn Taymiyyah. However, in Faidh al-Bari in the fourth volume, he has also refuted him. I personally made a note of 18 places wherein he has refuted Hafidh Ibn Taymiyyah.

Ibn Taymiyyah was a Hanbali

Mawlana Ashraf 'Ali Thanawi رحمة الله عليه would refer to Hafidh Ibn Taymiyyah and Hafidh Ibn Qayyim as Sultan al-Qalam (the kings of the pen). They present mountains of proofs to establish a matter, but they moved with such speed that they did not bother about any obstacles and barriers. Someone once asked, “Was Ibn Taymiyyah a Maliki?” He replied, “No, he was a Hanbali.”

(Malfuzat Faqih al-Ummah, 2:295-296)

Salaams

I suspect that it is to attack Ibn Taymiyyah (ra) and turn people against him

I came across the following online book recently. Unfortunately the book does not have any information on the author or translator. If anyone knows these shuyukh please share it here.

Was Ibn Taymiyyah from the Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama'ah? Size: 7.1 MB

By Maulana Muhammad Abu Bakr Ghazipuri al-Ansari

Translation by Mufti Afzal Husain Elias

This work can be divided into three parts. The first linking the statements of Ibn Taymiyyah to the authentic Sufis, the second quoting some of the ludicrous beliefs of the great icon of the Salafis and the third, as the appendix explains, that Ibn Taymiyyah was not a true 'Alim by academic standards.

Few years ago even reliable scholars thought that no one was better than al-Albani but when his knowledge was unveiled he became history. Ibn Taymiyyah's path to oblivion is following close by.

nothing better to do?

[Musa1234]

Assalam o 'alaykum,

One of Imam Shah Waliullah's teacher in Haramayn was Shaykh Abu Tahir al-Kurdi son of 'Allamah Ibrahim al-Kurdi al-Kurani. Both were Shafi'i Ashari scholars and held Ibn Taymiyyah in very high regard.

Have you got a quote for that?

Have you got a quote for that?

It is well know brother though I am not sure all sources say that they are Ashari.

[abul_hussain]

It is well know brother though I am not sure all sources say that they are Ashari.

it is not the issue of Ashari or not Ashari. the issue here is to instigate muslims against other muslims and look down upon muslims of different orientation or thought. This trait is not exclusive to any group but you will find it in all groups. You will find some ascribing themselves to Salafis and attacking hanafis & imam abu hanifa, you will find the opposite where some ascribe themselves to imam ashari and attack hanbalis.

The solution: anyone trying to ignite fitnah must be put to shame.
