Actually, his books are hard to read. The language changes. Nevertheless, he lived in times very very similar to ours, weak ummah, lots of sects coming to the surface, Christine Occupation, preaching Christianity, Mongols destructions, Mongol leaders pretending to be Muslims but ruling by laws they made up. That's why reading his work is like reading from someone living with us.
Ibn Tamiyya was absolutely ignorant of christian doctrine. And also, all I see is an accusation of innovation, while he is clearly innovating interpretations about the bible. Like his interpretation about “baptise in the name of The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. As if that is not innovated😂. Such a hypocrite. He also says things like “Who was in charge of the heavens when Christ died” as accusation. As if christians believed the eternal divine nature died😂😂
@@bwc1245 oh ok then stop preaching "god died for your sins" shape shifters snackes..n if u try that trick oh no only the human part of Jesus died then u will be falling in the bible judged pagan act of human sacrifice..subhanAllah amma tasifun
@@mbarnabeus It is official doctrine that the divine eternal never parished or damaged. It’s language bro. Jesus is a divine person, cause he has a divine nature (with his human nature)But those two nature’s DO NOT mix. So the eternal divine nature didn’t became truly flesh or anything like that. Muslims interpreting it that way is just pathetic. He took on flesh. Athanasius in “On the incarnation” said it properly: God the Son wielded the flesh

thank you this is beautiful. Ibn Taymiyah is a beacon of knowledge in dozens of subjects. knows them all by heart. and understands those subjects really well. and he’s one of the best logicians of all time. he was also very brave in his time. May Allah have mercy on him and forgive him. People who bad mouth him don’t have the mental and spiritual capability to go through his texts and books and they talk without knowledge. He was not perfect, but he was a rare type of scholars. and should only be approached with respect regardless if a person agrees with him or not. and I don’t think this should be your last video about him :) I love to learn more about him and others. avoiding mentioning ibn taymiyah when it comes to theology, fiqh or logic is like avoiding mentioning Muhamad Ali on a boxing channel!!
@@srnp0007 I don’t understand your question. are you asking what is a logician or why? i think the answer to both is reading his writings specifically on Logic. or in general.
@@srnp0007 and if you don’t know anything about Logic i recommend a 12 hours course by Hamza Yusuf, I think it’s on youtube. it’s just an intro but helps you get an idea of what a Logician is. Muslim scholars invested a lot in Logic as a science. Greeks did too. But Muslim scholars took the science to the next level. and they are unmatched on this subject. It was necessary for them to build arguments and refute unfounded claims, and to build the science of Fiqh.
@@srnp0007 he has a book called “The response to Logicians”. not sure if it’s translated or not. if interested just look this stuff up. pretty complex philosophy but extremely interesting and beneficial.
@@srnp0007 I’m not trying to teach you anything I was recommending a course. and I’m not saying you don’t know logic, I said Logic with capital L, as in the Subject of Logic. it’s history and principles etc. No insult was intended there my friend. Peace.
Jon Hoover is one of the leading experts on Ibn Taymiyyah, for sure. But in the West, we have to note.. Thanks Brother Paul for the great content, as always!
Surah Fussilat 41 : 37 prohibiting muslim to worship sky objects (sun, moon, stars) is recited by Muhammad (because he's illiterate) 3-5 years (AD 613-615) after he proclaimed as a prophet of allah in AD 610. He copied the Jews' Tanak (Bible: the Old Testament) Exodus 20 : 4, Deuteronomy 4 : 19 & 17 : 3 that Yahweh, the God of Israel that's worshiped by Abraham, Ishaq & Yakub, forbids the Israelites to worship sky objects but Q 6 : 77 muslims used to worship the moon goddess 🌙 & Q 53 : 49 Sirius the brightest star used to be Allah. William Tisdall says in his book "The Original Sources of the Qur'an - Its Origin In Pagan Legends and Mythology" during that time Muhammad followed some of Jewish's, Christian's & the Sabian belief and practices. At that time he was still befriended wth them. He had access to Jewish's, Christian's & the Sabians (ancient people of Mesopotamia (nowadays Iraq until southern Syria) scriptures. He admitted the rightful Inhibitans of Israel in the Palestinian's land (Quran 5: 20-26), Jews & Christian are good friends. They'll go to heaven., but quran 5:82 to hate the Jews but Christians are the kindest to muslim, fight & slaughter the Jews (Sahih Muslim, Book 41, Hadith 6981 & 6985), quran 5:14 to hate Christians, quran 9:29 to fight theJews & Christias, 5 : 51, 1 : 7 the Christians & Jews are the cursed ones. Muhammad ordered muslims to pray 5x/ day to curse them, the Pact of Omar in AD 717, allah turned the Jews into pigs & monkeys Q 2 : 65 & 5 : 60, 7 : 163, rats are made from the Jews Sahih Al Bukhari, book 54, Hadith 524, cut the neck & fingers of the disbelievers Q 8 : 12 & 47 : 3 - 4, to kill the non muslims Sahih Al Bukhari Vo. I, p. 13, Q 9 : 14, to wipe out non muslims Q 6 : 44 - 45 & many more. Why there are many contradictions ??? The turning point is in AD 624. Muhammad wanted to be accepted as their new prophet (the Jew were waiting for their Masiah & the Christian were waiting for the coming of Christ for the 2nd time). When they rejected him he turned against them. Muhammad quarrelled with the Jews in AD 624 in Medina. Muhammad chased, killed & expelled them out of the Arabian Peninsula.... W. Tidall, p. 39. In the same page says in the same year Muhammad performed his 1st 'Idu'l Adha. While the Jews slaughtered lambs Muhammad slaughtered 2 kids. One for his people & one for himself. Book of Dr. Daniel Alan Brubaker "Corrections in Early Qur'an Manuscripts". Dr. Dan says, "There are thousands seemingly endless deletions & insertions in the early quranic manuscripts (7th century)". Quran is just a man made book. Western & European historians are free from religious oppression, intimidation & collusion. Not like their fellow muslim historians in their muslim countries. Eventhough they don't live in muslim countries but they're still bound with their religion. By making a report which is contrary to the quran & islamic rules and agreements the muslim historian could still face death threat, eg. Salman Rushdie. Salman actually didn't make any report which is contrary with the quran. It's already there ! Q 22 : 52 (read the interpretation of the verse by Ibn Kathir, 1999 printing, vol 5, p. 441).
The turning point is in AD 624. It's explained near the end of this reply. You shouldn't rely on the quranic verses only but you've to know the time & history of Muhammad. You should know the reason(s) why this/ that verses were written & when. Read book of William St. Tisdall. I've got one. Google who's he & his achievements. Western/ European historian can investigate any historical event free of religious oppression. The reports will be published & debated in the public. If the author is lying/ making up a story he/ she could be persecuted by the government for making false statements in attempt to gain personal's interest (eg. money by selling his/ her books or famous name but by deceiving people). You can't do it the the democratic Western & European countries but you can do it muslim countries after collaborating with their imams.

Personally, Larry Hurtado's thesis on Christology is a brilliant resource for Muslims to use and understand how the innovated high Christology evolved after Jesus which came to be via' "revelatory experiences" Hurtado's thesis was the turning point for me in acknowledging Islam to be a true representation of authentic monotheism of all Prophets of God
Hurtado was famous for documenting the "mutation" of worship practices that a segment of early Jewish Jesus followers began to display publicly and privately and how a High Christology among believers emerges much earlier than 1st century scholarship recognized previously.

Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah had an impact not only on the Islamic library, his great knowledge and his many writings, but also on the graduation of many distinguished students who had an impact on the Islamic nation, such as: 1. Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (691 AH - 751 AH) the well-known jurist, the owner of the famous potty, Zad al-Ma’ad, and other long-mentioned works. 2. Ibn Katheer al-Dimashqi (701 AH - 774 AH), the author of the famous interpretation, and the book “The Beginning and the End in History” and others. 3.Muhammad ibn Abd al-Hadi al-Maqdisi (704 AH - 744 AH) is the author of Al-Muharrir fi Al-Hadith, and other books. 4. Shams al-Din al-Dhahabi (673 AH - 748 AH), the modernist, author of the Sir Flags of Nobles, and the History of Islam. 5. Jamal al-Din al-Mazi (654 AH - 742 AH) is the author of Tahdhib al-Kamal, one of the most important books on which hadith scholars rely. 6. Muhammad ibn Muflih al-Maqdisi (708 AH - 763 AH) his book al-Furoo’ is one of the books approved by the jurists of the Hanbali school of thought, and he has other books. 7. Ahmad ibn al-Hasan, known as Ibn Qadi al-Jabal (693 AH - 771 AH), authored a number of works on jurisprudence and its origins, and was a brilliant debater. Among the students of his disciples : Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali (736 AH - 795 AH) is the author of Fath al-Bari Sharh Sahih al-Bukhari, and he has well-known and well-known letters. He studied on Ibn al-Qayyim and Ibn Abd al-Hadi The Albanian scholar has strong words in which he who does not read the books of Abi Taymiyyah and Ibn Al-Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah will be on the stray.. And if you cannot understand the books of Ibn Taymiyyah, study it from a scholar so that he will understand it for you Ibn Taymiyyah's critical books were a reference for Muslim scholars in refuting deviant Islamic religions and sects. One of his most famous books is the Wasitiya Creed. Which is studied for students of religious sciences

Jon Hoover is wrong. Ibn Taymiyya did believe the Bible is corrupted. Here’s what Ibn Taymiyya actually said: “The majority of Muslims deny both [the proposition] that none of the wording found in the previous sacred books of Christians and Jews has ever undergone textual substitution and that all of its wording was handed down from God. They hold either that tabdil has occurred in some of its formulations, or that it cannot be said with certainty that its expressions were revealed by God. It is not possible to make an argument of the expressions in these books in opposition to what has been already established. Muslims claim that the Torah and the Gospel which the People of the Book today possess are not the products of successive transmission from Moses and Jesus [lam tatawatar 'an Musa wa-'Isa]. The chain of transmission of the Torah was broken first at the time of the destruction of Jerusalem and the expulsion of the Israelites from the city. They state that the one who dictated the Torah to them at a later date was a certain person called Ezra, whom they claim to be a prophet. Some people say that he was not a prophet, but that he only discovered a copy which they found to be ancient. It is also said that he produced a text which had been in the Maghrib. None of this necessitates the successive transmission of every expression nor prevents the occurrence of error in some cases. A similar situation occurs with those books whose copying and collation follows closely upon them, but which are memorized by only a few, perhaps two or three persons. Christians admit that the Gospel which they possess was not written down by Christ nor dictated by him to those who wrote it down. Matthew and John, companions of Christ, dictated it only after the ascension of Christ; moreover, it had not been memorized by the great number of people necessary according to the principles of successive transmission. Neither Mark nor Luke ever saw Christ. All these men stated that they mentioned some of what Christ said and some of his messages, and that they did not have room to mention other words and deeds.” A MUSLIM THEOLOGIAN'S RESPONSE TO CHRISTIANITY p.g 215-216

The Salaf of the Ummah, its leading Imaams and all of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah are united that from the created things are those that will never disappear and will never expire completely such as Paradise and Hellfire, the Throne and other than that. And no one spoke of the expiration of all of the created things except a faction from the innovating people of kalaam, such as al-Jahm bin Safwaan and whoever agreed with hiim from the Mu'tazilah and their likes. This is a futile saying which opposes the Book of Allaah, the Sunnah of His Messenger and the consensus of the Ummah and its leading Imaams. www.ibntaymiyyah.com/search.cfm?q=Hell&x=12&y=3 Wa Allahu A3lam

قال ابن القيم : '' وسمعت شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية قدس الله روحه يقول: "إن في الدنيا جنة من لم يدخلها لا يدخل جنة الآخرة". وقال لي مرة: "ما يصنع أعدائى بي؟!، أنا جنتي وبستاني في صدري، أين رحت فهي معي لا تفارقني، أنا حبسي خلوة، وقتلي شهادة، وإخراجي من بلدي سياحة" (١) . وكان يقول في محبسه بالقلعة: "لو بذلت لهم (٢) ملء هذه القلعة ذهبا ما عدل عندي شكر هذه النعمة"، أو قال: "ما جزيتهم على ما تسببوا لي فيه من الخير"، ونحو هذا. وكان يقول في سجوده وهو محبوس: "اللهم أعني على ذكرك وشكرك وحسن عبادتك" ما شاء الله. وقال لي مرة: "المحبوس من حبس قلبه عن ربه تعالى، والمأسور من أسره هواه". ولما أدخل إلى القلعة وصار داخل سورها نظر إليه وقال: {فضرب بينهم بسور له باب باطنه فيه الرحمة وظاهره من قبله العذاب (١٣) } [الحديد: ١٣]. وعلم الله ما رأيت أحدا أطيب عيشا منه قط، مع ما كان فيه من ضيق العيش، وخلاف الرفاهية والنعيم، بل ضدها، ومع ما كان فيه من الحبس والتهديد والإرجاف، وهو مع ذلك من (١) أطيب الناس عيشا، وأشرحهم صدرا، وأقواهم قلبا، وأسرهم نفسا (٢) ، تلوح نضرة النعيم على وجهه. وكنا إذا اشتد بنا الخوف، وساءت منا الظنون، وضاقت بنا الأرض = أتيناه، فما هو إلا أن نراه، ونسمع كلامه، فيذهب ذلك كله، وينقلب انشراحا وقوة ويقينا وطمأنينة. فسبحان من أشهد عباده جنته قبل لقائه، وفتح لهم أبوابها في دار العمل، فأتاهم من روحها ونسيمها وطيبها ما استفرغ قواهم لطلبها (٣) ، والمسابقة إليها. وكان بعض العارفين يقول: "لو علم الملوك وأبناء الملوك ما نحن فيه لجالدونا عليه بالسيوف" (٤) . وقال آخر: "مساكين أهل الدنيا، خرجوا منها وما ذاقوا أطيب ما فيها!

The Book of the Origins of the Twelver Shi'ite Creed, by Sheikh Nasser Al-Qafari. What is learned is that Ibn Taymiyyah’s books are a reference for Muslims for those who want to know the violators: Ibn Taymiyyah has a distinguished book called: The Criterion between the Guardians of the Most Merciful and the Guardians of Satan : كتاب الفرقان بين أولياء الرحمن وأولياء الشيطان / الشيخ ابن تيمية
Paul, how do you square away & reconcile your claim & the claim of ibn taymia that Christianity is an innovated religion, which means it was corrupted by Jesus' followers, with this aya: Surah Aal-e-Imran, Verse 55: And when Allah said: O Isa, I am going to terminate the period of your stay (on earth) and cause you to ascend unto Me and purify you of those who disbelieve and make those who follow you above those who disbelieve to the day of resurrection; then to Me shall be your return, so l will decide between you concerning that in which you differed. (English - Shakir) Here in this aya Allah promises that he will "purify you (speaking to Isa) of those who disbelieve and make those who follow you above those who disbelieve to the day of resurrection;" So, how did this promise of Allah turn upside down & the followers of Isa became disbelievers (innovators) before the day of the resurrection? Why didn't Allah purify Isa from those innovators as he promised? Or, the claim of innovation is an innovation itself? Can you please explain? thank you
Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim al-Jawziyah, he is the student of Ibn Taymiyya, he has a countless number of books (or treasures), one of the most important of which is : "The Disease and The Cure". It would be great if one day you have the opportunity to read us excerpts from this book.

Wonderful video brother Paul! I didn't know that Ibn Taymiyyah held that text of Bible is sound but interpretation is corrupted by innovation. Anything becomes super interesting when you narrate/read them to us. I can watch you narrate children stories and still be awe! Well done sir! 😊😊🤗

I always said and I'll say again, Salafi emerge to protect Islam from becoming another Christianity and apparently this was the idea of Ibn Taymyyiah. Because when you see how far away from the message of Muhammad some of Sufi sects goes(notice I said some of because I have great respect for Al-Ghazaly and similar Sufi), just check Ibn Al-Arabi teaching and ideas you will excuse ibn taymyyiah harshness.
*Muslims must give love and compassion to fellow Muslims* and Muslims must respect christians, jews and other human beings because this deen, Islam is a mercy for the universe. May Allah protect Muslims from deception and division.
Why depend on 2' sources like Hoover or others when you have the actual 1' source (very often literally the manuscript in the person's own handwriting). It makes no sense to take 2' sources as reliable, especially when it contradicts what the actual scholar said. Ibn Taymiyya said very clearly that the gospels are not the same as the Injeel that was revealed to Jesus (pbuh). See al-Jawāb al-Ṣaḥīḥ li-man baddala dīn al-Masīḥ (The Sound Reply to Those Who Altered Christ's Religion for Ibn Taymyyia)
Jon Hoover might be the leading expert in West about Ibn Taymiyyah but he misquotes Ibn Taymiyyah a lot. He presents Ibn Taymiyyah to be against Al-Qur’an which is not right. According to your previous videos with this book Allah sitting on His throne (istawa’ alal arsh) which has a lot of meanings. If you take just sitting, you drawing on a wrong conclusion. Hellfire for disbelievers being eternity, it states in the whole Quran a lot to be eternity. Innovation in Christianity; the Verses he quoted are right but he misunderstood them. The pillars of faith in Islam one of them is to believe in the existence of the previous books which had the same message like Quran(Those books were there but people corrupted them, we don’t believe in the message they are carrying now, we do believe false massage in these books is more than the true message in them) but still we don’t count them out at the same time, we don’t use them to judge. **Maybe Ibn Taymiyyah made mistakes or the writer misquoted some of Ibn Taymiyyah’s writings and he drew on conclusion. In my view if you are looking for the truth, first search in the Quran and hadith then other Islamic scholars’ views but if you are looking for the criticism those are the right kind of books you need .
Paul, a questions regarding what you presented on behalf of Ibn Taymia and it seems you agree with him. You mentioned this aya, Surah Yunus, Verse 94: But if you are in doubt as to what We have revealed to you, ask those who read the Book before you; certainly the truth has come to you from your Lord, therefore you should not be of the disputers. (English - Shakir) As it is widely known that " ask those who read the book before you " refers to the "people of the book" a term which means Jews & Christians. Now, does Allah ask Muhammad to get guidance from people who follow a corrupted & innovated religion? Please explain, thank you.
According to Al-Tabari when he discussed this verse in his book of Al-Tafseer, the verse meant only for Prophet Muhammad to ensure himself as a prophet. This verse not meant to refer the Jews and Christians for everything regarding the religion. Al-Tabari mentioned that if Prophet Muhammad has doubt about who he is (as a prophet), he may ask the people of the books (Jews and Christians) which they knew about him due to the bible and Taurat mentioned about a prophet will be sent after 'Isa (Jesus).
Islam has been the religion of all prophets and is named based on submission to one true supernatural God. All other religions are man made and are named after some human prophet ,tribe , place and so on.
*I am not sure about the word "controversial"? Why is that exactly?* *Was that because he exposed Greek influenced schools? Was that because he exposed sufi heretics? Was that because he was calling for reviving the understanding of the first generation in this Ummah? He was clear and provided his arguments with strong evidences.*
because hes outspoken, many factions becomr jealous, plus idiot follower need someone to pin the blame, and their habibi maulana will easily pick ibn taymiah along with many slanders
Because the statements of his seems to be in constant academic debate. Open to be dissected from many point of view. Not necessarily 'controversial' leads to total rejection. Einstein too is a controversial figure because breaking apart established Classical Physics.
Ibn taymiyyah was one of the great scholars. He was an Alama. That should not even be a discussion if studied hia works. But the people are judging on a single statement instead of studying his works. And the hatred or ill will against him is usually from ahlul bidah(the people of innovation).
A lot of these things they accuse Ibn Taymiyyah of saying is him responding to and refuting heretics. It's not his actual position. But that won't get in the way of a good lie.
The Holy Bible itself said that Jesus son of Mary was a prophet. Here’s the Holy Bible In Matthew 21:11 and the multitudes said, this is the prophet. Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee. In John 14:24 These words you heard are not my own they belong to the father who sent me. In Exodus 20-4 You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. Hebrew 9-22 In fact the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood , and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. In Deuteronomy 24-16 Parents are not to be put to Death for their children, nor children put to Death for their parents, each will die for their own sin.
Wow he must have made few enemies in his life. 🤔😁I love ibn taimya critical thinking mind.. He was ahead of his time by centuries. If anyone read with open mind heart it is not difficult to know from Quran Torah and the New testament, God's words than that of man made words.. Didn't Allah said in QURAN the Jewish rabbi's left out majority of laws, 😊😊😊
Paul, on your channel, and I’m pretty sure other Muslim channels, this Christian group is putting an add of Christians who converted from Islam, and defaming Islam. Things like portraying Allah SWT as always wanting to punish and there being no forgiveness, when I’m pretty sure it’s a sin to be hopeless of the mercy of Allah SWT. We should stop these guys from putting adds here.
It's a pity that you have decided not to talk about Ibn Taimiyya any longer. This great figure was an excellent scholar, debater, warrior and a man of the people who was loved and respected by the general public and hated by charlatans. Add to that: he was one of the first Muslim scholars to encourage Muslims to travel to the lands of the disbelievers to gain beneficial knowledge for their Ummah back home. May Allah have mercy on him and reward him profusely.
I don't know why brother paul calls Ibn Taimmiyah "controversial" again and again. He (Ibn Taimmiyah) unequivocally criticised heretical beliefs within Islam and in other religions. Does calling a spade a spade make you controversial? Just a thought🗯
Maybe because Ibn Taymiyya has different beliefs from mainstream scholars perhaps. Or certain people disagree with what he wrote. I mean, it's not a bad word.
*Last Book of God "Quran" is Book of books, and Truth of all Truths; and Quran tells us: near God acceptable Deen (Divinely Prescribed Way of Life) is only one, and that is Islam only. Therefore; all extra-Islamic Religions are Product of Clergy. All Prophets including Moses and Jesus preached only Islam **3:19**, 3:85, **42:13**, 10:72, 3:67, 2:130-140, 10:84, **3:52**, 22:78, 6:125, 2:105-106, **5:48**, **48:28**. Not Jesus but Paul made-up Christian Dogma. Not Moses but Talmudic converted name of Tribe Judah into Judaism centuries after the death of Moses.*
Ibn taimiyyah was a scholar .From his boyhood to death he do jihad , I,e. Quran memories, study of fiq, diff. Language for understand religion correctly, fight against the sultan , volumes of his writings in every corners of Islam, Teachings, directly involved against the rules in battle field of his time, imprisoned for more than 6 times, died in the prison. May Allah bless him.His whole life time is sacrifice for Islam. He is really a great unparalleled scholar. Please can provide me some of his books for download. Regards.
You did the hardest job in this video after lefting the Christianity. Mashallah. Your past life (when you were a Christian) didn't hesitate you in spreading and embracing the truth even if the truth goes against Christianity. Sir you are absolutely amazing. You didn't do any kind of partiality in this video. You just spread the pure truth.🤩🤗 May Allah bless you.
He is using that term as it is more recognisable as a period in time to the majority of people on here, he is merely making it relatable and it is not a derogatory term.
LOLLL! My word, I don't think I've heard such garbage for a very long time!! and that is really saying something, because I've heard lots of garbage coming from Muslim apologists for quite a long time, but this probably beats the lot!! When Paul started this speech, I was expecting something of some challenging substance to this author's arguments, but as Paul continued with his summary, it became very obvious, that this author is doing nothing but spouting Islamic propaganda with no real substance in it or behind it! My....I thought I'd seen the last of this kind of nonsense! ....obviously not!
Ibn Taymiyya reduces the Trinity down to God the father, the son as prophet and the Spirit as Gabriel. Yet if God is father from his very nature then He must be fathering someone else apart from creation. Who is the Father fathering in eternity according to Ibn Taymiyya's theology? If the Father is not fathering someone else in eternity the Father is fathering someone by adoption in temporal time. Who has the Father adopted inside time to have the Father called a Father? If the Father is only father by adopting someone in temporal time the father is only a father nominally and the real identity of the father remains unknown. Who is God the Father of Islam when the Father only acts within creation to be a Father whilst not being a Father from His own life had outside creation? By removing any reference to the Trinity does Islam remove any reference to the intrinsic supernatural life God has in himself apart from creation? If so, does the identity of God in Islam remain unknowable?
Yeah because revelation of Quran they all are Muslim too but when they refuses to accept Quran as last revelation of and instead of manipulated Bible and worshiping Jesus peace be upon him who is actually Messenger of Allah they are no more Muslim but Islam was that time too
Before going to Ibn Taymiyya, please go to Quran. According to Quran, near God acceptable Deen is only Islam 3:19, 3:85. That means: all extra-Islamic Religions including Christianity and Judaism are Concocted by Clergy
If you read a little further in surah 3 you’ll find that some of the Jewish people are righteous and not necessarily Muslims with capital M. They are whom could be called muslims with small m. 3:113 Yet they{here the Jews} are not all alike: there are some among the People of the Book who are upright, who recite Allah’s revelations throughout the night, prostrating ˹in prayer˺. 3:114 They believe in Allah and the Last Day, encourage good and forbid evil, and race with one another in doing good. They are ˹truly˺ among the righteous. 3:115 They will never be denied the reward for any good they have done. And Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of those mindful ˹of Him˺. And also 2:62 Indeed, the believers, Jews, Christians, and Sabians-whoever ˹truly˺ believes in Allah and the Last Day and does good will have their reward with their Lord. And there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve. 5:68 Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “O People of the Book! You have nothing to stand on unless you observe the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to you from your Lord.” And your Lord’s revelation to you ˹O Prophet˺ will only cause many of them to increase in wickedness and disbelief. So do not grieve for the people who disbelieve. 5:69 Indeed, the believers, Jews, Sabians and Christians-whoever ˹truly˺ believes in Allah and the Last Day and does good, there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve. 2:111 The Jews and Christians each claim that none will enter Paradise except those of their own faith. These are their desires. Reply, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Show ˹me˺ your proof if what you say is true.” 2:112 But no! Whoever submits themselves to Allah and does good will have their reward with their Lord. And there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve.
@@BenM61 No. All of them were Muslims. The Jewish and Christian faith today is an innovated heretics that get stray from the original pure path of God to mankind.
Abd-al-Ahad Islam means submission to the one and only God. All the prophets since Adam a.s. thru Moses and Jesus right to Muhammad a.s. preached Islam and their followers were Muslims. "Christianity" and "Judaism" were created by man; you will not find verses in their books saying that God had revealed them, as in the Qur'an for Islam. (You will also not find God revealing the "Bible" to them; that book was made after Jesus' exit)
It must be admitted that the most intelligent and most understanding religious people in interpreting the verses in the holy book are only Muslims because Muslims have a guide who can explain the Koran or the words of Allah swt & that guide is Prophet Muhammad SAW because Prophet Muhammad was given knowledge of wisdom from Allah regarding the verses of the Qur'an that were revealed through the Prophet Muhammad. The wisdom of Allah swt is then carefully recorded and summarized in authentic hadith books. While other religious people cannot receive wisdom from God because the people of the previous prophets liked to oppose, deny and kill the prophets so that they did not have enough time to interpret the verses of God that were revealed correctly and as well as possible. That's why they also added verses in their books in order to be able to interpret God's wisdom, but the result is not perfect even worse because God's wisdom is very different from the wisdom of the scholars & followers of previous prophets who have changed the holy book with their own hands.
"and We made her and her son a sign for the worlds. 21:92 al- anbiya Indeed, this umma (believers/followers of prophets) of yours is ˹only˺ one, and I am your Lord, so worship Me ˹alone˺.
But there was no trinity dogma like you people now wrongly believe until 381. Those two people you cited did not claim that Jesus was equal to god whom you call the father. If you have evidence indicating otherwise, show it to us.
@@BenM61 oh 381 only confirms what was universally believed by early Christians. Even Jews sources have compound one for God. So how Trinity prove sex slavery correct? Only crazy criminal mind would justify like Muhammad did.
"The status of the SCHOLARS of my Ummah is comparable to that of the PROPHETS of BANUW ISRAAIYL." "The INK of the SCHOLAR is more PRECIOUS than the BLOOD of the MATYR." So please be courteous, humble, grateful, and appreciative of their contribution. The 4th KHALIYFAH ALIY Ibn ABUW TWAALIYB (AS) said " I would forever be a slave to the one who taught me a single letter of the ALPHABET. "
Indeed..May Allah grant us understanding of our Deen Ameen Ya Rabb. "Jesus as God" Some Christians claim that "Jesus is God" or part of a trinity - that he is the incarnation of God on earth, and that God took on a human form. However, according to the Bible, Jesus was born, ate, slept, prayed and had limited knowledge - all attributes not befitting God. God has attributes of perfection whereas Man is the opposite. How can anything be two complete opposites simultaneously? Islam teaches that God is always perfect. To believe that God became a man is to claim that God is or was (at some point in time), imperfect. A Christian must ask him/herself, does the idea of a god who was once a weak helpless child, one who could not survive without food, drink or sleep, be the same Almighty God described in the Old Testament? Surely not. One may ask, "If God can do anything, why can't he become a man?" By definition, God does not do ungodly acts. God does not do anything that would make Him, something other than God. If God became man and took on human attributes, he would, necessarily, no longer be God. Some ambiguous verses of the Bible can be applied erroneously to show that Jesus is in some way divine. But if we look at the clear direct verses of the Bible, we see again and again that Jesus is being referred to as an extraordinary human being and nothing more. The Bible contains many verses in which Jesus speaks and behaves as if God is a separate being to himself. For example: Jesus "fell on his face and prayed." (Matthew 26:39) If Jesus was God, then would a God fall on his face and pray? And who would he be praying to? The Bible calls Jesus a Prophet (Matthew 21:10-11), so how could Jesus be God and be God's Prophet at the same time? Jesus said, "I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than me." (John 14:28) Jesus said "I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and your God." (John 20:17) If Jesus was God, then why would he say, "to my God, and your God," and who was he ascending to? If Jesus was God, he would have clearly told people to worship him, and there would be clear verses in the Bible stating this; yet he did the opposite and disapproved anyone worshipping him: "And in vain they worship me." (Matthew 15:9) "Son of God" Some Christians claim that Jesus is the Son of God. What does this actually mean? Surely God is far removed from having a physical and literal son. Humans have human children. Cats have kittens. What does it mean for God to have a child? Rather than being taken literally, we find the term "Son of God" is symbolically used in the earliest biblical languages for a "righteous person", and has been used for David, Solomon and Israel - not exclusively for Jesus: "...Israel is my firstborn son," (Exodus 4:22). In fact, anyone who is righteous is referred to as God's 'son' : "All who are led by God's Spirit are God's sons and daughters." (Romans 8:14) "It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son. He is Perfect and Flawless! When He determines a matter, He only says to it, 'Be' and it is."Quran 19:35 "Father and Lord" In the same way, when the word 'Father' is used to refer to God it shouldn't be taken literally. Instead, it's a way of saying God is the creator, sustainer and supreme master of all. There are many verses for us to understand this symbolic meaning of the word 'Father', for example: "One God and Father of all." (Ephesians 4:6) Also, Jesus was sometimes called 'Lord' by the disciples. This term is used in the original languages of the Bible, for God as well as for people who are held in high esteem. For example, in the Greek New Testament, the term kyrios is used for both 'Lord' as well as to name the owner of the vineyard (Matthew 20:8), and the master who beat the disobedient servant (Luke 20.42-47). In other parts of the Bible, Jesus is even called a 'servant' of God by the disciples: "The God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus." (Acts 3:13) This clearly shows that when 'Lord' is used to refer to Jesus, it is a title of respect, not of divinity. Attempts are made to explain the complexity of the above issues of the nature of God and the nature of Jesus, which can be quite confusing or unsatisfying. However, the key point to ponder is: Why would God make it so hard to understand? How do these complicated teachings compare with the simple, clear and pure teachings of the concept of God in Islam? Jesus: The Prophet In Judaism, Jesus (peace be upon him) is denied as the Messiah. This is in stark contrast to Christianity where he is worshipped as a deity, or the son of God. Islam takes the middle ground and acknowledges Jesus as an honourable Prophet and Messenger of God, as well as the Messiah, but Muslims do not worship him - as worship is for God alone who created Jesus and everything that exists. "(Jesus) said, 'Indeed, I am the slave of Allah (God). He has given me the Scripture and made me a Prophet.'"Quran 19:30 Miraculous Birth According to the Quran, the Angel Gabriel was sent to Mary, the noble virgin, in the form of a man, informing her of a child who was to be born miraculously without a father. "He (Angel Gabriel) said, 'I am only a messenger of your Lord to announce to you the gift of a righteous son.' She said, 'How shall I have a son, seeing that no man has touched me, and I am not unchaste?' He said, 'Thus (it will be). Your Lord says, "It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter already decreed." "Quran 19:19-21 Some claim that his miraculous birth is evidence of Jesus' divinity. However, Jesus was not the first to come into existence without a father, as Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) before him had neither a father nor mother. God says: "The likeness of Jesus before God is as that of Adam; He created him (Adam) from dust, then said to him: 'Be', and he was. This is the truth from your Lord, so be not of the disputers."Quran 3:59-60 If Jesus is worshipped due to having no father, then surely Adam is more deserving of worship since he was created without either parent. Miracles of Jesus Jesus was miraculously conceived with no father and also performed great miracles by the will and permission of God. He spoke as a baby in the cradle to defend his mother against the people who accused her of fornication. The Quran also states that Jesus gave life to the dead, cured the leper and the blind - all by the will of God. The fact that Jesus (peace be upon him) performed miracles does not mean that he was anything more than a humble servant of God. In fact, many Messengers performed miracles, including Noah, Moses and Muhammad (may peace be upon them all) and these miracles only took place by the permission of God, so as to demonstrate the authenticity of the Messenger. Message of Jesus The Prophets of the Old Testament such as Abraham, Noah and Jonah never preached that God is part of a Trinity, and did not believe in Jesus as their saviour. Their message was simple: there is one God and He alone deserves your worship. It is not logical for God to send Prophets for thousands of years with the same essential message, only to suddenly change it, claim that He is now a part of a trinity, and to stipulate the belief in the divinity of Jesus to be saved. The truth is, Jesus preached the same message as all the Prophets in the Old Testament. There is a passage in the Bible that really emphasises this core message. A man came to Jesus and asked, "Which is the first commandment of all?" Jesus answered, "The first of all the commandments is, 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.' "(Mark 12:28-29) So, the greatest commandment, the most important belief according to Jesus, is that God is one. If Jesus was God he would have said, 'I am God, worship me.' Instead, he merely repeated a verse from the Old Testament confirming that God is One. This aligns with the mission of Jesus, as taught in Islam, where Jesus was sent to the Children of Israel to confirm the message of the past Prophets - to believe in the One True God. "And when Jesus brought clear proofs, he said, '… Indeed, God - He is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him alone. This is the only Straight Path.' "Quran 43:63-64 As an honourable obedient Messenger of God, Jesus submitted willingly to God's commands. As such, he was a "Muslim" - which refers to anyone that submits to the will and commandments of God. Jesus in Islam Jesus was as an honourable Prophet sent by God to call to the worship of God alone. This is evident in the Bible and confirmed by the Quran. The Islamic belief about Jesus explains who the real Jesus was, whilst maintaining the pure belief about God and His complete Greatness, Uniqueness and Perfection. We invite our Christian Brothers and Sisters to look further and investigate Islam. It is not just another religion. It is the same message preached by Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad - may peace be upon all of them. Islam means 'submission to God' and is a natural and complete way of life that encourages one to give due attention to their relationship with God and His creation. Islam teaches that God is the All-Just and All-Merciful and does not need to sacrifice himself to forgive sins nor is anyone "born into sin". God judges everyone based on their own deeds and everyone is accountable for their own actions. Islam teaches us to love and respect all the Prophets of God, but loving and respecting them does not mean worshipping them because worship is due only to God. Acknowledging Jesus as a Prophet of God and becoming a Muslim does not mean changing or losing your Christian identity. It is about going back to the original and pure teachings of Jesus.
Isn't this a similar type of unauthorised innovation that took place in Islam during the reign of the khalifahs? In the sense that quran's chapters were shuffled at random, the writing style of the quran was innovated. The call of morning prayer was innovated. The way the hands were folded (or not folded) was innovated. The tarraweh prayers were introduced. All this was innovated afterwards without the concent of prophet Muhammad s.a.w. The Prophet s.a.w gave us a complete Islam in its totality and we introduced innovations. If prophet s.a.w was to come back today, would he be pleased with these unauthorised innovations? Didn't Ibn-Taimiyaah comment on these innovations?
1) The chapter chronology in the Mushaf is fine because no muslim is claiming it was revealed in this exact order. Aishah mentioned the order doesnt matter (in the mushaf) 2) the prophet said ﷺ follow the right guided caliphas after him. Putting the Quran in between 2 book covers was agreed upon by all rightly guided caliphas. Caliphas 3) same with the writing style 4) the call to prayer happened during the prophet’s ﷺ lifetime. 5) the hands being folded is not innovated because the prophet ﷺ put his right over his left. 6) the Taraweeh prayer was introduced during the prophets ﷺ life. He didnt continue out of fear that Allah will make it obligatory and the people will fail to uphold it. When the prophet ﷺ passed away, revelation was complete. So we can still pray taraweeh. Idk how you get it was introduced after??? Islam acknowledges that there will be muslims who do innovations. And Yes, ibn Taymiyyah did speak on muslims doing innovations which is completely wrong. Didnt you understand the difference of these matters and innovations of the jews and christians with their books and prophets???
I wish u read this miraculous hadith in ur shorts. A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Everyone has been created with three hundred and sixty Joints. Whoever mentions Allah's greatness (says Allahu Akbar), praises Allah, extols Allah, and seeks forgiveness from Allah and removes stones from the path of the people, enjoins what is good and forbids the evil to the amount of those three hundred and sixty joints (sulama), he walks on that Day (of Judgment) having distanced himself from the Hell fire."
@BloggingTheology thanks for managing this unique platform. Don't worry about all the Ibn Taymiyya haters, they're speaking about that which they don't understand. I assure you he is one of the most important Imams in the Hanbali mathab and all our asaaneed (chains of transmission) go through him. He is often taken out of context. Those things he related according to his ijtihad in matters of aqeeda that are aberrant are accepted as such and a result of his use of kalam which is prohibited in the Hanbali aqeeda. The fact he was buried in the Sufi graveyard is understood that whatever aberrant positions he may have ACTUALLY held, he repented from, and Allah knows best.
Based Ibn Taymiyya Btw wasn't the trinitarian verse a fabrication? I do think this is complex, by one hand, Christians changed the meaning of some terms, then if we do the same, I don't think that's good. It's better to do history first because a lot of the time such verses are fabrications, or mistranslations like that of John 1:1, where THEON and theos are translated as if they were the same word, when obviously they are differentiated as "THE GOD" and "a god"(meaning divine, but not equal, which still to us is wrong tho)
You left the Faith. I have, in the past, stated Catholic facts about the Catholic Saints, and what did YOU, Blogging Theology, do? You deleted them. You left the Truth. You cannot deny the lives of the Catholic Saints that shows the full truth of Catholicism.
I was raised a Roman Catholic and the lives of many saints are inspirational. I desire not to judge but I seek to understand the beliefs and worldviews of other religions. I hope your comments were not deleted by Blogging Theology. So far, none of my posts have been deleted ( except for ones I delete myself... haha )
SubhanAllah Alhamdulillah May Allah SWT guide those who reverted to Islam, to the true teaching of Islam and being an obedient Muslim, will grant them and all the Ummah with a place in Jannah. Aamiin..
I respect Islam. I often feel compelled to leave Christianity and become a Muslim, but there is still something that I just can’t make sense of: the issue of the crucifixion either not having taken place or (as I’ve heard some Muslim scholars say) Jesus not having died on the cross (despite the spear through his heart?). Lots of things about Islam make more logical sense to me than Christianity, so why does the part about the “non death” of Jesus seem so far fetched to me? I mean no offense whatsoever! It’s obvious that I’m missing something, and I hope I can find more sources about it, so I can finally be at peace with this issue.
Ok that's great to research it yourself We Muslim believe and respect Jesus peace be upon him more than Christian as a messenger of Allah [4:157] And [for] their saying, “Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah .” And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain. Any confusion or question regarding Islam you are welcome to ask and also via email mentioned in my channel description
(7:03) "He interprets the text (of the Bible) to accord with his Islamic convictions" >> exactly! You said it! His opinion of 'interpretation' is "confirmation bias" to "accord with Islam"!! This is why his 'interpretations' cannot be relied upon! A Hindu could interpret the Quran in accordance with his Hindu convictions.....does that make his interpretation correct?? No...it simply confirms his own beliefs by the method of confirmation bias!! LOL!
With all due respect. Islam, christian and judaism was consider as Abrahamic faith thus muslim knowing about Abraham, Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them all). Muslim knowing about seven sleepers too. Peace to you.
@@murtinirarr767 I wish you peace also. However, you must realise that the changed stories of Abraham, Moses and others, came from Jewish and Christian sources and were adopted by the author of the Quran into the Quran's text. This is also the case of the 7 sleepers of Ephesus. It is also demonstrably the case with the 'infancy narratives of Jesus' speaking from the cradle and making clay birds alive, etc - these were adopted from Christian stories written in Syriac and circulating around Syria and Arabia in the 6th, 7th and 8th centuries. These were not 'revelations', but modified stories from previous sources. (if you don't believe me, then buy yourself a copy of "The Apocryphal New Testament" published by Oxford University Press. It has the same stories written earlier than the Quran.
@@peaceinjesus5221 Quran is the continuation of the previous scrolls and scriptures which confirm that Jesus is the messenger of god sent to the israelites . Jesus is not god , he just messenger of god who give a glad tiding to his disciples and followers about the incoming of the seal of the prophets, the ultimate messenger, prophet Muhammad (pbuh). I can talk major about scriptures but I respect your choice.
@@johnbrzykcy3076 Yes John - if you do look into it, what you will find written there are examples of infancy stories which were written in Syriac, in the centuries before Mohammed, which are very clearly the sources for several of the passages found in the Quran. I have a copy of the Apocryphal New Testament and also a copy of the Quran. I have laid these two books, side by side on my desk and seen where the author of the Quran has copied this information from these sources, into the Quran. ....albeit, in a modified form. There is no mistake about this whatsoever and any historian will conclude that this is where the Quran got these stories from.
