Ibn Taymiyya was often quoted by the late Osama Bin Laden and in this video, Dr. Jon Hoover, who has studied his theology and his importance in Islam, introduces Ibn Taymiyya and his thought.
We muslims love ibn tayimiyah may Allah have mercy on him

Shaykh Al Islam Ibn Taymiah was one of the greatest scholars of Islam. He was a master in almost all areas of knowledge. May Allah have mercy on his soul.
When mongolians took over some of the muslims countries they captured muslims and christians, when he was negotiating the release of the captured, he insisted that christians to be released first. When he was asked why, by the mongolian emperor, he said: "They are our citizens and are under our protection"
is that A MAN to hate?

May Allah have mercy on him

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.
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.
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.
his intellectual smackdowns of deviant sects was absolutely mind blowing to read .. A true lion of the Sunnah
@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.
@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.
Ibn Taymiyya (Rahimahullah)
-The Genius ❤
may Allah have mercy upon him! ameen ya Rabb! a great scholar amongst the Muslims.
One of the best scholars of ALL TIME!
IMAM IBN TAYMIYYAH (RA) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
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.
Hes not a historien , he's a well respectful scholar in the islamic religion
Muslim scholars called it: Shaykh al-Islam
* Books on Fiqh and Islamic Unification
* Exposing false doctrines affiliated with Islam
* Response to other religions and their invalidity
* Explain that Islam is the ultimate religion of life - a philosophy that is famous for it
finally
* Excelled in reply and martyrdom.
* Pain with all the cultures of the religions that I experienced to answer them
May God have mercy on him
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.
ma sha Allaah, well said!
when the ruler is a kafir opposing sharia and enforcing things contradicts islam and sellout to the west ?? why would i follow such a tool !?
Very true
@@hohohohoh4043 i wonder, if you passed away today, 10 months after your ignorance filled comment, would your fate be glory or demise.
He is the greatest scholar in Islam after the "Salafus Salih" [Sahaba, Tabe'in and Atba' Tabe'in] era!!!
He erred like all human beings!!!
But he was on HAQQ!!!
May ALLAH pardon him and reward him!!!
Indeed the only one I know who wasn't just a scholar but one who participated in jihad.
These folks are lucky enough to discuss the distinguished Ibn taymiyyah.

Ibn Taymiyyah is the sheikh of tolerance and an encyclopedic scholar who has emerged in every art
No doubt
May Allah have mercy be upon him
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).
Well said
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.
Am proud to have named my son Taymiya 💙
It's a girls name akhi.
Taymiyyah is a woman's name, Sheikh ul Islam's grandmother or mother was named that
Lol. Partial info is always very dangerous.
It’s a female name brother
Ibn Taymiya means Son of Taymiya. It was his kunya, not his name
Thank you for helping Muslims learn about this great figure in our history whose prolific and enduring influence continues to bless us. You seem to be a very sincere person and a deep thinker. May God guide you to Islam if He has not already! Ameen.
Ibn taymiyyah rahmatu allahi alayhi was a distinguished scholars that the world witnessed for his virtue,knowledge and seeking justice to all muslims
I love 💓 Ibn Tayimiyah rahimullah.. he jumped into the ocean of ISLAM and came out back with everything solved
Please don't say he solved everything, that is wrong, rather say he did his best alhamdulillah
I have heard of my friends talk about ibn taymiya, and the arguments of his what I've heard are really good.
@عبد الرحمن منصور علي Mashallah
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.
Stop fooling our fellow muslims...
Ibn taymiyyah was a great scholar and Imam... He never supported sufism....
He was a of course a Sufi like sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani. In early days, those who were very religious and gave importance to zuhd and purifying heart were called sufis. Moreover early sufis are way different than later sufis.
Ibn Taymiyyah wrote close to 30 books on Tassawwuf/Sufism.
"...some people criticised Sufiyya and Tasawwuf and they said they were innovators, out of the Sunnah, but the truth is they are striving in Allah's obedience [mujtahidin fi ta'at-illahi], as others of Allah's People strove in Allah's obedience. So from them you will find the Foremost in Nearness by virtue of his striving [as-saabiq ul-muqarrab bi hasab ijtihadihi]. And some of them are from the People of the Right hand [Ahl al-Yameen mentioned in Qur'an in Sura Waqi'ah], but slower in their progress.... And this is the origin of Tasawwuf. And after that origin, it has been spread and [tasha'abat wa tanawa'at] has its main line and its branches.
[Majmu'a Fatawa Ibn Taymiyya al-Kubra, Vol. 11, Book of Tasawwuf, p. 497].
"The miracles of saints are absolutely true and correct, by the acceptance of all Muslim scholars. And the Qur'an has pointed to it in different places, and the Hadith of the Prophet (s) has mentioned it, and whoever denies the miraculous power of saints are only people who are innovators and their followers." [al-Mukhtasar al-Fatawa, page 603]. Ibn Taymiyya says, "what is considered as a miracle for a saint is that sometimes the saint might hear something that others do not hear and they might see something that others do not see, while not in a sleeping state, but in a wakened state of vision. And he can know something that others cannot know, through revelation or inspiration."
[Majmu'a Fatawi Ibn Taymiyya, Vol. 11, p. 314].
Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal (164 - 241 AH.)
"O my son, you have to sit with the People of Sufism, because they are like a fountain of knowledge and they keep the Remembrance of Allah in their hearts. they are the ascetics and they have the most spiritual power."
[Tanwir al-Qulub p. 405]
???? Yes he did mate! First of all Professor J Hoover is well versed in the Arabic language and judging by your name you’re NOT! He’s studied the life of Imam Ibn Taymiyyah , his major works cover to cover! I am in oxford myself doing my PhD and I can personally attest to this since I met him in person and even quizzed him in deeper issues that Ibn Taymiyyah Rahimhullah discusses and that of his student respectfully disagreed with with the likes on Imam Ibn Kathir, Ibn Qayyum Al-Jawzi, Imam Addahabi Rahimahullah Jami’an. ! I am also a former Salafi and Sufi and left these lunacy of boxing fellow SUNNIS Muslims in to these pathetic labels. Think before you talk mate, perhaps I can recommend you and point you towards a few works on Ibn Taymiyyah Rahimahullah were he has favourably discusses the case for Sufism in Islam. Inshallah hit me back should your Receive this message. Wassalam.
Sufism is Harrell religion not islam
Subhan Allah. What a great man. Rahimullah
very nice presentation thank you Nottingham
Ibn Taymiyya a great schollar of islam
i'm surprised that Jon Hoover didn't convert to islam after reading Ibn Taymiyya perles !
great video - informative, audio not so goo - bit quiet
Thanks for the informative video. Do you know what is the most famous book by Ibn Taymiyya to read?

@Milad 14 Where can we find this book in India?
Is it available online?
رحم الله شيخ الإسلام.
"Shrine cult" Sufis debunked... Plus Ibn Taymiyyah discovered economics... Well sort of before Adam Smith.
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.
@@MrBoogiePope What is AFAIK?
@@zccau2316 AFAIK - As Far As I Know...
Ibn Taymiyyah was a neo-sufi himself. You obviously haven't read his works!
@@abdullahk8691 yes he wrote some tassawuf books in the prison but today salafist said that is tafkiyatun nufuz instead of. Tassawuf
thank you
May Allāh have mercy on him, shaykhul Islam
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.
No he made takfir on them because they were a ta'ifah mumtani'ah (a resisting party) an apostate group whose apostasy is in rejecting aspects of Islam
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.
Hence, why Ibn Tammiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) went to war against them.
Well It like I wanted to find out about St Thomas Aquinas and I explored and I am Muslim.
So you’ve embraced Islam?
ibn taymmiyah ra is a legend!
Indeed
MASHA ALLAH Ibn taymmiyah is a hero what he advocated was 100.%true sir
What legend he was the founder of salafism...Muslims should have no founder follower the sunnat of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.)
We would like episodes about it before and after Islam
@ 8:00 The suffering in Islamic theology indeed comes from God. As a reference from Quran 10:4 , 7:155, 21:35 among others. Suffering is a test for humanity, a blessing for the believers because through patience they attain God's mercy. I think a little more research on this topic would be needed by the speaker.
good
may Allah guide you both and help in search of truth, Ibn Taymiyyah was great thinker, regardless weather osama bin laden qouted him or not, his works has nothing to do with present day terrorism!

He became mufti when he was 17 years old my brother.

22 I guess, not 17.
he fought against the rulers? can you provide evidence for that brother?
They way ibn taymiyyah exposed Greece philosophy is fascinating

really poor audio
May GOD have mercy on him
As a follower of mohammad saw don't follow any etc etc only follow rahmat ul aalameen saw and his way to pray to Allah swt all the fitna will end when you start following the real imam
And how would you follow that if you do not read or listen of view from others? that is the very definition of "following".
@@TheRadFactor yeah i dont get this type of comments ,how can we literally follow the prophet without the scholars works...the scholars are like the bridge of sirat with their sanad...
Deeds are according intentions.
رحمه الله
الحمد الله ربي العالمين
studying ibn taymiyya as a shia will be very interesting!
pls do… the reason you will at least respect him is that he don't hid anything… he only says what's in Quran and sunnah
İbn taymiyyah kurdish kurdes
But that's like saying that supreme court justices have nothing to do with the Constitution. We don't always get to decide who appropriates our ideas. But doesn't mean a relationship is absent.
Ibn Taymmyya ra came up in a hanbali family studied Shafii fiqh.
He was neither, he was Imam on his own ( Mujtahid, not imitating any school) with his own choices in Islamic jurisprudence (figh).
I hear he prohibit mantiq ? Or logic , i think That wrong
The issue is complicated with regard to logic, Ibn Taymiyyah has giant books to respond to logic, and he has greatly developed rational arguments and linked them to the Qur’an and Sunnah, and logic is a word that has several meanings, so we must specify which part we are talking about.
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...
He was not Arab.
that I don't know… but he at least knows arabic better than most arabs.
he even made a book coreecting nahw to Sabaweih, Sabaweih is famous for his good knowledge of Arabic
Haha why they say arabic historian not muslim historian while he was kurdish not arab, when they talk about big personals they say arabic not muslim.
But ibn tymmlh are Arab
He was a genius.
May Allah forgive him and have on him. Ibn taymiyya rahimahuLAh
Ibn Taimiyah rahimahullah is absolutely a great thinker.
A true follower of prophet Mohammad shalallahu alaihi wa salam.
Greatest scholar a Syaikhul Islam.
Imam al ghazali
Taiymiyyah divided Muslims
Taiymiyah...Was he the father of Wahabism?
many scholars spoke out against ibn taymiyyah (ra) at that time. the same is true of Usama bin Laden (ra) and the Mujahideen today. that is a very important and undeniable connection between men who are upon the same manhaj (remember that Ibn Taymiyyah ra fought against the rulers of his time, even though those rulers - the taters - claimed to be Muslim).
Mr1Fox9 it's a lie you're claiming here, he didn't "fight against rulers", he fought against those who came to fight, there's a huge difference between the two.
Most Importantly Ibn Taymiyya held the belief that the hell was temporary and with refining purpose (regardless of being a painful process) , rather than being an eternal place of unconditional punishment, which is theologically miraculous as it provides a lifeline for ALL people.
That's falsehood, how could someone like Ibn Taymiyyah believe a thing that clearly goes against Quran's assertions?
@@abdixsimplix2582 if im not mistaken even his student ibn qayyim aljauziah had similar opinion.
@@shogun5886 well actually Ibn Qayyim said that He got his views on hell from his teacher Ibn Taymiyyah
It is not his final position, he only mentioned it as an opinion but not the position he and ibn al qayyim take.
He retracted from that opinion
