Came here from Professor Adamson's History of Philosophy podcast, my picture of him is the guy who likes to debate and don't give a fuck what other people think. He was a very controversial of his time because he likes to and are very good at arguing from both sides that his contemporary questions his own standing on the subjects (he was an Asha'arite theologian). He also offended so many people that they had to hide his grave just so that no one disturb it. Nevertheless, a guy who don't give a fuck as long as he find the truth. He is a person I truly admire.
Sorry, it was a very weak explanation of the biography of Fakhruddin al Alrazi. At the end, it was missinformed that he was buried in Iran. Herat was a part of earlier Khurasan which is now a wester province of Afghanistan. I met his graveyard many times in Herat, Afganistan.
William Sheikhspeare exactly and have you seen the shape of islam today? how toxic it is? so much hate between muslims to the point it's actually dangerous. there is no doubt that without the teaching of ibn taymiyyah the hate between muslims wouldn't be at the level it is today. no i am not a shia I am sunni but the sunni shia tension is not needed there are bigger issues in today's world. ibn taymiyyah was a great theologian and perhaps one of the greatest but his teachings are very dangerous and very toxic
William Sheikhspeare no and I don't think I need to, i know he dealt with major theological issues which I could never comment on and which doesn't concern me on a day to day basis. however what does concern me is seeing muslims at each other throats with ibn taymiyyahs name at the centre of it. could he perhaps be misquoted yes maybe but right now it appears those who have ibn taymiyyahs works the centre of their beliefs tend to be leaning towards dividing the muslim world up as well as extremist groups like isis and boko haram.
lmao. Let's be honest, none of us ever read his books. I know I don't. Most of our knowledge comes from either the media (who scorned him as that guy who inspire violent jihad) or the internet imams (who praises him for his orthodoxy or something) I do listen to a podcast about him in History of Philosophy by Professor Adamson (truly recommend it, it even covers the Philosophy in "Islamic world" for a lack of a better word) At least from my understanding, he isn't much an anti-rationalist traditionalist theologian but a jurist with a new set of ideas on how to reach a correct verdict in Islamic law. This verdict has often been abused in modern invocation of Ibn Taymiyah (mind you that the threat within Ibn Taymiyyah times wasn't the "infidels" but the Mongols) For example, Ibn Taymiyyah said that its fine to kill Mongols soldiers even though they've already converted to Islam because they are considered a rebel group within Islam who were trying to topple legitimacy of the Mamluks. However in modern-day, this is always used to justified for "jihad" (in the media sense, in my place jihad has a deeper meaning) against foreign religion. Besides if you ever read a bit of biography about him you know he deals mostly with mundane things such as property, contract issues or religious observance.
Kino Kino wow I wrote this 3 months ago and have a completely different prospective of ibn taymiyyah now lol me and lots of muslims when they hear that name ibn taymiyyah they think of hard core uneducated salafis who use his name in everything. I understand this isn't the case they make claims to his name but that doesn't always mean they follow him.
Nasar Zaman Wow, such a fast response. I do agree with you that it is unfair to pin the blame on him just because he is always used as a way to justify (casus belli) religious war (which I believe that behind every existing rebels/militant/terrorist group, there is a complex and intricate political situation, groups like that don't just spawn out of nowhere, in fact they might just be tools or minor players in the ongoing game of war and politics). lol, look at me rambling. Anyway, Happy Eid-Fitr!
My personal Role model - Fakhruddeen Ar-Razi Rahimahullah!
