I read from the highly recommended book 'Ibn Taymiyya (Makers of the Muslim World)' by Jon Hoover, Professor of Islamic Studies at the University of Nottingham. www.amazon.co....
My humble respect to all Muslim scholars, past and present from four corners of the world.. Peace and Blessings upon our prophet Muhammad salallahu alaihi wassalam..
Best advice if Muslims did this more often we would not be so divided and worry about Muslims celebrating Mawlid. If we understood the intentions and purpose of Mawlid we would not worry about it.
@@MrRiz157 I completely understand why ppl celebrate mawlid and I completely understand why ppl don't celebrate mawlid. I think the main thing we need to concentrate on is our intentions . If they're clean then Allah subhanwatallah will reward you for it
Paul u definitely must make a video about iben taymiya book "The True Answer for Those Who Altered The Religion of Christ" its 6 books and tge 7th is index u definitely must review it I wonder if its translated to english
@@BloggingTheology This nuanced view of Ibnu Taimiyyah is in fact the opinion of the vast majority of contemporary salafi scholars. The mainstream salafi opinion is that acts of innovation/ bid' a performed by Muslim layman who are ignorant about the fact that those acts of worship are innovations will be rewarded for their good intentions. The act itself is rejected as the prophet- sallallahu alayhi wa sallam- said but the good intention may be rewarded. That's the mainstream opinion amongst salafi scholars. Some salafi scholars have stated that they don't know that those good intentions of innovative practices will be rewarded but they agree at least that Muslim laymen who are ignorant because nobody made clear to them and explained to them the reality of those innovations that they will not be held accountable by God.
@@BloggingTheology Ibn Taymiyyah's books are still a reference in discussions and refutation of deviant religions and sects.. It is still the book Minhaj of the Prophet's Sunnah. One of the greatest books in response to the deviations of the Shiites and was the reason for the return of many Shiites to Islam.
Simply put, the Mawlid is celebrated by thanking our Creator for the Mercy that was sent to Mankind. Truly a Favour upon Mankind. Otherwise what would be our state?
Amazing video! Ibn Tayymiyyah has been misrepresented by both his modern day opponents and supporters. Ibn Tayymiyyah was a very deep thinker who thought with a lot of nuance. I would say I am a traditional muslim opposed to many of the things Ibn Tayymiyyah said, yet I appreciate his contributions. His conception of ijtihad was unique and very special indeed. May Allah reward you for this wonderfully explained video.
@@HATL201 Haha I know all about the problematic statements of ibn tayymiyah. As for mawlid if I remember in Iman Suyuti's fatwa he says it Biddah Hasana. You are correct we all celebrate it out of love and we do not limit it to any day or month. Anyways there are rules and categories of how to assess if something is a biddah and of what nature it is. As for defending ibn tayymiyyah, I think many great scholars have already pointed out his errors and also defended him at times.

With due Respect, the writings or the opinion of Jon Hoover means absolutely very little to the people who have understanding of the religion of Islam. He is neither a scholar or a reference of Islamic Studies. The view of Ibn Taymiyyah regarding celebrating the birthday of the Prophet (peace be upon him) or visitation of graves is that, it is a bid'a an innovation; Thus not from the legislations of Islam. If you truely want to know the view or the life of Ibn Taymiyyah. There is no better person to tell you about him, than his own student. Ibn Qayyim al Jawziya.
“Good intentions” doesn’t always lead to good deeds. It should be paired with the knowledge of the divine purpose. As seen in the hadith of the three men who decided to be abstinent from the mundane desires but prophet Mohamed denounced their act and said: whom desires not my way, is not from me.
Islamic scholarship have always permitted the blessed Mawlid un Nabi & the VAST MAJORITY follow the shariah when celebrating it hence is 100% rewarded By Allah awj. Only deviant heretical tin pot wahhabi/salafi scholars have spoken against it. shaytan and it's army despise the birth of the Holy Prophet & cried. So those who are sad on that day are mimmicking shaytan.
Exactly, Tafsir Surah Fatiha talks about how Muslims are the middle path with knowledge and acts with good intentions, yeahood have ilm but not acts, christians have acts but no ilm!
A) A'ishah reported the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ peace and blessings be upon him) as saying: If any one introduces into this affair of ours anything which does not belong to it, it is rejected. Ibn `Isa said: The Prophet (ﷺ peace and blessings be upon him) said: If anyone practices any action in a way other than our practice, it is rejected. - Sunan Abi Dawud 4606, Kitab Sunnah B) Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri: (who fought in twelve Ghazawat in the company of the Prophet). I heard four things from the Prophet (ﷺ peace and blessings be upon him) and they won my admiration. He said; - 1. "No lady should travel on a journey of two days except with her husband or a Dhi-Mahram; - 2. "No fasting is permissible on the two days of Id-ul-Fitr and `Id-ul-Adha; - 3. "No prayer (may be offered) after the morning compulsory prayer until the sun rises; and no prayer after the `Asr prayer till the sun sets; - 4. "One should travel only for visiting three Masjid (Mosques): Masjid-al-Haram (Mecca), Masjid-al- Aqsa (Jerusalem), and this (my) Mosque (at Medina). - Sahih al-Bukhari 1995, Book of Fasting Abu Hurairah (RAA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ peace and blessings be upon him) cxrsed the women who frequently visit the graves. Related At-Tirmidhi and Ibn Hibban graded it as Sahih. - Bulugh al-Maram 586, Book of Funerals C) Quran 39 : 44 - Say: "To Allah belongs all intercession. Abu Marthad al-Ghanawi reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ peace and blessings be upon him) as saying: Do not pray facing towards the graves, and do not sit on them. - Sahih Muslim 972b, Book of Janazah Abu'l-Hayyaj al-Asadi told that 'Ali (b. Abu Talib) said to him: Should I not send you on the same mission as Allah's Messenger (ﷺ peace and blessings be upon him) sent me? Do not leave an image without obliterating it, or a high grave without levelling It. This hadith has been reported by Habib with the same chain of transmitters and he said: (Do not leave) a picture without obliterating it. - Sahih Muslim 969, Book of Janazah Jabir said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ peace and blessings be upon him) forbade that the graves should be plastered or they be used as sitting places (for the people), or a building should be built over them. - Sahih Muslim 970, Book of Janazah Narrated AbuHurayrah: The Prophet (ﷺ peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not make your houses graves, and do not make my grave a place of festivity. But invoke blessings on me, for your blessings reach me wherever you may be. - Abu Dawud 2042 (Sahih Albani), Kitab Hajj etc.
May Allah reward you brother Paul. But I would like to clarify one thing here that a Muslim has no hesitation in accepting that a Muslim will be rewarded for his good intention in doing any act of worship even if it was not legislated by the religion provided that he was unaware of its prohibition or disapproval, just as no Muslim will be punished for committing the sins that he did not know were considered as sins in the religion. This is one of the most basic principles of Islam and no follower of Imam ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy upon him) would have any problem in accepting it. But good intention does not make the deed acceptable in and of itself as ibn Taymiyyah himself said that these people will only be rewarded for their intentions and not the deed. So as far as the act itself was concerned then his position was quite clear that it is undoubtedly prohibited and greatly disliked in the religion and his whole life and his struggles against the innovators bears testimony to that fact
@@ilmal-quranwalsunnah1532 Your are gifted with a great talent brother, may Allah grant you success in your endeavour, just make sure the sources you quote hadith from are authentic, since books such as Fazail e amaal are not reliable. Barakallah
@@imrankhan786111 Yes, that's precisely what is being said. An innovation cannot be converted into a legislated and acceptable act just by having good intentions while doing it. But if a person was unaware of the deed being an innovation at the time of performing it while having good intentions then he or she may be rewarded for the good intention and not for the deed itself, and neither will the deed itself become acceptable or legitimate in the sight of Shari'ah.
Did the prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h. ask us to celebrate Mawlid?👌👌👌 Our success lies in obeying the command of Allah and following the way of Prophet Mohammed p. b.u.h.. Islam is complete . No human intervention necessary to change it.👍
Prophet muhammad pbuh said " do not go to extreme in raising my status as the Christians did " . Nowadays Muslims have started a new innovation in deen of celebriting the birthday of prophet Muhammad which by the way is european culture of celebriting birthday . Our prophet didn't celebrited nor did any of the sahaba ( companions) , and the companion of sahaba but here we are some people making new things in deen and making difference in Ummah. Prophet muhammad pbuh clearly said every new thing in the deen is bidah and every bidah leads to jahannam(hellfire)
Assalamu wa 'alaykum Please akhi, when you are a jahil, you don't talk and you absolutely not traited your brothers in Islam of mubtadi'. It's incredible when the muslim mass talk with their ignorance and they are like they have the 'ilm, you are jahil, you don't even know the 50+ 'ulamas who traited Mawlid of bid3atu hassanah, and no, not all bid3a lead to al Nar, because if it does, praying Taraweeh will lead to al Nar, having regrouping the Quran in 1 book will lead to al Nar, and so and so. So akhi understand that you are jahil, very jahil, like all of us, so don't talk about dinnillah because you will saying an amazing thing and Allah will judge you about that wal 'iyadoubiLLAH, w'ALLAHU a3lam.
@@ilmnaut8032 pls read about what Umar r.a didn't innovatted but the messenger used to do it alot of time with shabah until he said i was fearid that Allah may make it compulsory to my ummah then he was doing trawiah in his home then many years later umar saw many sahaba doing it spreatly in the masque then he said it would be better if they have an t so it wasn't innovation bc the Massinger did it.
Ibn Taymiyya was a great scholar...but he and the Wahabi clerics are not right about mawlid and grave visiting. Their opinion are not of majority Muslims scholar of the past and of today. It is a stray ideology. And in Islam, you always follow the bigger majority. I suggest you seek out Sheikh Hamza Yusuf to learn more about Islam and Mawlids.
Ibn Taymiyya made many mistakes, especially in matters of creed, not only that he presented himself as a Mujtahid which he has not, Ibn Taymiyya has been refuted by many Sunni scholars & he is Not an authority in Islamic creedal matters. As for celebrating/commemorating the blessed birth, evidence is found for this from The Qur'an & Hadith and is evident from the writings of classical Islamic scholars who are authorities in Islamic law & creed. Imam as-Suyuti in his book, 'Al-Hawi lil Fatawi' writes a full chapter on the validity of The Blessed Mawlid providing evidences from the primary Islamic sources.
Not just imam As Suyuti, but also the Sheikh of imam An Nawawi rahimahullah (an ash'ari muhaddith), and dozens of others but i forget them. And also, hafidh ibn Taymiyyah rahimahullah actually legitimated the Mawlid, tell about that to hanbalis scholars like shaykh Yussuf ibn Siddiq or shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abdulwahid, there is only wahhabis and some sunnis who make mistake, who think that hafidh illegitimated the Mawlid and tells about him that he is haram, w'ALLAHU a'lam.
@@jundullah9869 I agree, and not one classical Sunni scholar ever wrote against celebrating The Mawlid, apart from the Wahabis, Deobandhi's also have written & spoken against celebrating The Blessed Mawlid.
Thanks brother paul . Every video of yours is a great efforts to explain expertise of various Islamic scholars . Please keep up the great work. May allah bless you
The sahabas loved the prophet Muhammad more than we could ever imagine, yet they never celebrated his birthday.❣️ Let us not add innovation to the already perfected religion of Islam.❤️ Sometimes Iblis can trick Mankind 😭 into doing something they think is good. Be careful!
Yet Islam teaches the dead don't die so visiting a grave for the dwellers and praying for them starting in the name of Allah sending peace on last messenger of mankind then mentioning the person in grave it don't mean you are worshipping the person the biggest shirk is committed by the one's who think people are worshipping the person in grave proper clowns in Islam 🤡
thank you paul. may Allah bless you for the knowledge you shared..it's also sad to know that some ppl misunderstood all the legit hadiths and goes to the extreme side of things, hence the controversies too..
Perhaps you should also discuss the majority mainstream Sunni scholars who were critical of Ibn Taymiyya, Ibn Abdul Wahhab and salafism. Your videos on Islam itself rather than Christianity are a tad skewed. Ibn Taymiyya was a towering scholar but his is not the only understanding of the religion.
We are commanded only to follow the Sahaba's, tabaein and taba tabein, if they didn't celebrate mawlid, we don't either, simple. In india people who don't celebrate mawlid are called Iblis, by muslims who do.
In India they call those who follow Quran 6:162 as iblis? Wallahi these kind would be calling jibraeel as Satan, what evil enemies and criminals they are.
For those who condemn grave visitation outright and the building of mosques over tombs, ponder on the reality that the Prophet's mosque in Medina (Masjid An Nabawi) is where the bodies of the Prophet himself along side which lie the bodies of Abu Bakr and Umar are enshrined and where millions of devout muslims make pilgrimage and supplication year round. The glaring inconsistency between doctrine and actual practice in this case reflects a need for serious re-evaluation on one's narrow rigid stance.
I totally agree with ibn tymiyya it does eventually lead to polytheism and instead of supplicating to God alone they direct their supplication to dead people
Was the prophet Muhammad s.a.w. born on 12 Rabiulawaal???👌 No one knows the exact date as it was not recorded. There were no birth certificates in those days.👍
The controversial imam timmya writings led to the disastrous revolution in 1917 in saudia and the muslim caliphate was over thrown.As a result muslim world was divided into Wahabis and Sunnies. That is what we r still suffering from.
?? Jordan rebelled for Filistine promised by uk as turkey filled w/ sufi bida divided so much they reunited on secularism. saudis beat uk backed Jordan & united Arabia. Quran says don't call nicknames. Why say Wahabi when Allah's exclusive name is Al Wahab? Ibn Abd Wahab is of B. Tamim, tribe hard on dajjal in hadith. you are backwards!
As a revert from Christianity to islam, I can see the celebration of the prophet SAW’s birthday being problematic. Perhaps early Christians started off celebrating Jesus in that way and overtime it morphed into worship. I even read one commentary that some of the idols they worshipped in Mecca started as statues of important people that morphed into worship overtime. All that being said - I don’t claim to know more than scholars or learned Muslims and I don’t know enough on the matter to say anything in absolute terms
If shrine worship is a favorable thing in Islam then why Sahabah didn’t do it after the passing of prophet Muhammed peace be upon him? That’s enough evidence for me..
Ibn Tayymiya was a Great schoolar no doubt. But we should remember that he was not generally accepted in his time, and was quite controversial amongst the ulema.
"But we should remember that he was not generally accepted in his time, and was quite controversial amongst the ulema" Because "the ulema" differ from time to time due to political reasons. Almost every sect became dominate in specific time and suppressed other groups. So, you can't "Cherry pick" a group of scholars from specific time and make such a generalization. What you can do is to return to the "original sources" from the first 3 generations and make comparisons between him and his opponents.
@@WaleedAlbaz inn Taymiya became well know with Muhammed ibn Abdulwahab, and the Saudi state, since they claim to follow ibn Taymiyah. But before that he wasnt that much read. So it is not just when he lived but hundrrds of years after he died also he was seen as non-mainstream
You don't need to be a genius to know why, just check the the creed of the religious institutions and schools across all these centuries (i.e: the authority!). I mean, you know that he got prisoned many times and he was literally threaten to be killed, so who will dare to give his opinion freely after that? "he was seen as non-mainstream" Again, according to what? to the first 3 generations (whose their books exist and we can check them easily) or to according to specific time you choose it for ideological reasons? I can pick specific time in history where the Muʿtazila is the so called mainstream!
@@nahumhabte6210 Imam Ibn Hanbal wasn't accepted during his time and he is the teacher of Imam Bhukari, does that make him wrong as well? No!!! Why do people read Imam Bhukari? Make the truth known!
Ibn Taymiyyah was a gifted jurist, but that's it. He was sorely lacking knowledge in many other areas. He was imprisoned because of his heretical anthropomorphic descriptions of Allah - telling that. And as society has changed greatly since ibn Taymiyyah's time, it is more beneficial to follow a scholar more in tuned with present practices and realities rather than fixating on a past reality that does not exist any longer. It would also benefit yourself, Paul, if you explored the sunnah more deeply than constantly falling back on certain personalities.
@Google Account Astaghfirullah is correct. You cannot go to ibn Taymiyyah and ask his opinion about whether modern international banking is halal or not because he is dead. Nor can you glean from his books anything because that institution did not exist in his lifetime. My comment is urging one to seek timely guidance from a modern, living scholar in matters of religion rather than stupidly following a relic of the past, like ibn Taymiyyah, whose rulings and concerns were based on his time. Ibn Taymiyyah is not a prophet, nor are his opinions inspired. He was deeply flawed in some aspects of his understanding of Islam. Ignoring that, as so many do, is to deify the man - and that is shirk. It is through honest study that Islamic scholars today can sift through the work of past scholarship, understand the context, shortcomings, and strengths, to provide beneficial guidance to our lives today. That in no way implies disrespect of past scholars or ignoring the sunnah. To suggest that we learn the sunnah through ibn Taymiyyah's commentary is to put the cart before the horse. It is better to examine ibn Taymiyyah through the sunnah, accepting the good and leaving the bad - rather than making the sin of putting ibn Taymiyyah on par with the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. Your comment implies you have no real knowledge of how traditional Islamic sciences are taught, or what qualifications merit one the title of faqih, qadi, mufti, or any of the other titles of Islamic scholars.
If you love the prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h. than follow the sunnah. Follow his teachings and his way of life and that will show your love for the prophet.❤️ What ever you do should be for the pleasure of Allah only.💯💕
Who does not want to celebrate Prophet's puh birth day? Muslims love him to death and to express it is only natural. It is pure joy to feel grateful to Allah for Prophet's leadership to Umma.
There are thousands of far greater scholars than Ibn Taymiyya in Islam. Only the minority wahhabi salafi follows his teachings. The vast majority of the Ummah do not.
I'm afraid that you are mistaken. Salafi or sunni are called wahabi by haters but in fact ibn taymmiyah is one of the greatest scholars of islam he came in a time when Muslims where in ignorance and he did try to bring people back to the way of prophet Muhammad pubh

Simply put, Ibn Taymiyah says: Allah clearly says in Quran and his prophet clearly says in sound hadeeths so and so and we should follow them. While innovators say: our predecessors says and did so and so and we should follow them and they look for a fabricated or weak hadeeth to support their arguemant.
What a wonderful analysis. Goes to show how important it is to be tolerant of others take on these sensitive topics and that no scholar can be considered as the absolute interpreter of shariah. Thank you brother for taking us along this scholarly journey for the truth.

I salute those western scholars who describe the nuance of Ibn Taymiyya stands on mawlid and grave visitation .... But we the majority of Indonesia muslim community do not follow his fatawas. Our best scholars who become the one of the greatest makkah imam' families (Syaikh Nawawi al Bantani) were killed by one of Wahabi's attempts to raid Makkah, The Imam himself was almost killed because he was one of Syafi'i prominent scholar at that time. The prominent Indonesian Islamic Scholar, Hadratus Syaikh Hasyim Ays'arie wrote in his book for Indonesian Muslim not to follow the teaching of Ibn Taymiyyah and his student Ibn Qayyim and his fatwa become the main guidance for Indonesian Muslim Majority. Now we have known for sure the fruit of Ibn Taymiyya's teachings and legacy have only been the source of fitnah for muslim societies anywhere on earth. All those preaching purification on Islamic practices have turned into a very arrogant groups within Islamic society. Thinking that only themselves is the rightful muslim and often viewed other muslim as bid'ah doers even musyrik despite they are just minorities. All terrorist groups, such as ISIS, Boko Haram, Al-qaedah, Jabhah Nusra etc. were the manifestation of such teachinng. If you think and examine the history clearly, you'll find that the fruita of the teaching of Ibn Taymiyya have become the source of fitnah and the destructions of Islamic historical sites, and become the foundtaion of makkah becoming las vegas city. May Allah guide us all and make us stay in the right path.
Mawlid is not the way to show love towards prophet pbuh you should follow the teachings of him... sahaba, tabaeen and tabbe tabaeen did not celebrated then why should we celebrate?

In quran jesus says salam on the day i was born and salam the day i die and on the day i will rise again.you know salam has many meanings . Why does Allah say salam to the 5 ,6 prophets that died 4000 3000 years ago.if they are dead would salam reach them. There are so many proofs if you understand quran. Why did the prophet sacrifice lamb on his birthday and then after him ali r.a. would 2 1on prophet s.a.w. name and one by himself. Why spend for a lamb on birthday of a dead prophet he is poor. The sahabas used to do milaad un nabi in their houses by telling about the prophet to their families and thus was their celebration. Why did the prophet have a haris r.a. who used to praise poetry on the high status of the prophet and why did the prophet kiss his forehead for his beautiful poetry and even give his own seat fir him to say the poetry . But suddenly all hadiths become daieef to wahabs . Albani has taken out 350 hadith from imam bukharis boon adab ul mufrid. And now you cant find the real which had hadith of kissing hands feet of rasool and sahaba by tabaeen . The celebration and other topics . Why is it that salafies try to derive something new and destroy the real islam . Now you only find sahih means right . Sahih adab ul mufrid and albani corrects imam bukharu and now is his master .
If the “ companions sought prophets intercession whilst he was alive” are we saying the prophet is dead ? From what I understand the prophet has left this world but still alive
The Prophet ﷺ is physically dead, as we all will be. But of course the soul remains alive. So we don't ask for intercession from the dead, this can be understood in how the companions asked for intercession from the Prophet ﷺ whilst he was alive, but once he passed away the companions asked for the uncle of the prophet to do dua to Allah swt for it to rain during a drought.
usually in a certain masjid in a certain country they make an event in the masjid yearly to celebrate mawlid by inviting ulama or the ustaz to give a preach about the life of our beloved prophet Muhammad s.a.w. and for me i dont have any problem to attend this mawlid it made me refresh back my knowledge .....if ibn taymiyya still alive and enter to this event you think he will stop them and say this event is innovation and this event is haram?..i agree it is haram if someone celebrate mawlid like they celebrate christmas...well for those who believe it is haram to celebrate mawlid just dont enter the masjid for that particular time until the event end...
Lol you wahhabis in the comments who think you know more than the ulama of ahlus sunnah. Mawlid is a good innovation and that is what Ahlus sunnah wal Jama^ah has agreed upon. The evidences for this is in al Quran and sunnah, regardless of what the mujassim Ibn Taymiyyah says.
Intercession of the Messenger of Allah peace and blessings be upon him is absolutely permissable. All the Asharis and Maaturidis and majority of Atharis permit it. And is part of the sharia. Please try to be more nuanced
Paul you are fantastic in your understanding of true Islam that's why you chose to quote those topics. All wrong narrations started about Islam just because of hadith which got upper hand over Quran and led to debate and discussion like a controversial subjects. Quran though explicitly says any form of reverence, regards about people, place, ideas are equivalent to shirk other than Allah and His messages. Ibn Tamaiyya was truly an amazing personality of Islam who tried to understand Islam correctly. Thanks for sharing this piece of information.
@@TazImahc and people need to stop referring to only him and putting him as the great master of reviving the way of the sahabs when in fact the ummah was following the way of sahaba way before him And there’s hundreds of scholars to take from and quote But salafi have ibn tamiyyah and abdulwahab kitabul tawheed and that’s it
@@TazImahc no but it’s unfair to only use him on almost every single vidéo as a reference when there’s thousands of better scholars than him Bring some variety Tired of seeing ibn tamyyia and Abdul wahab point of view every where Without nuance or challenge
Question: Who is Ibn Taymiyyah, whom Wahhabis [Salafis] call Sheikh-ul-Islam and follow? What did our scholars say about him? Answer: He was formerly a Hanbali scholar of fiqh and hadith. Then he became a la-madhhabi. He was jailed in Egypt twice due to his writings that went against Ahl as-Sunnah wa'l Jama'ah. He was born in 1263 in Harran [a town of Urfa province in Turkey]. He died in 1328 while he was imprisoned in the citadel of Damascus. Ibn Taymiyyah could not appreciate the superiority of Ahl as-Sunnah wa'l Jama'ah scholars. He denied Tasawwuf (Sufism) and, therefore, deviated from Ahl as-Sunnah wa'l Jama'ah. His books are sources for opponents of the four madhhabs who call themselves Salafists. Opponents of the four madhhabs praise him and address him as the master of restorers (mujaddids) of Islam. That Ibn Taymiyya was unfortunate and misguided is written in the books Sayf-ul-Jabbar and Talim-us-Subyan. The latter was written in Persian. In the book Tathir-ul-fuad min-danis-il i'tiqad written by Muhammad Bahit, who was a Hanafi scholar in Jami-ul-Azhar, and in the other books, such as At-Tawassuli bin-Nabi wa bis-Salihin, Shawahid-ul-Haqq, Jawahir-ul-Bihar, Sayf-ul-Jabbar, and Talim-us-Subyan, it is proven with evidence that Ibn Taymiyyah lapsed into heresy. Ibn Battuta, Ibn Hajar al-Makki, Imam-i Subki, Izzaddin bin Jama'a, Abu Hayyan Zahiri, Zahid al-Kawthari, Yusuf an-Nabhani, Imam-i Sharani, Ahmad bin Sayyid Zayni Dahlan, Sheikh-ul-Islam Mustafa Sabri Efendi, and many other scholars wrote refutations to Ibn Taymiyyah and explained his heresy and kufr beliefs. Necip Fazıl Kısakurek said, "Sayyid Abdulhakim Arwasi stated, 'Ibn Taymiyyah was a mulhid who damaged the religion from within.'" It is written on the 107th page of the tafsir of Sawi that he was misguided and misguiding others. Islamic scholars stated: "He was a person whose knowledge was made by Allahu ta'ala a cause for his misguidance." [Ibn Hajar al-Makki - Fatawa-i Hadisiyya] "Ibn Taymiyyah was such a person that great scholars gave answers to his corrupt opinions and flimsy evidence and showed the ugliness of his ideas. [Muhammad] Izz ibni Jama'a [Shafi'i scholar of fiqh and hadith who served as a qadi in Damascus, Egypt, and Jerusalem] said about him, 'He was a person whom Allahu ta'ala misguided, led astray, and made wear the shirt of lowness. He foolishly raised objections to Islamic scholars and especially to the Rightly Guided Caliphs.'" [Ibn Hajar al-Makki - Al Jawhar-ul-Munzam] "The ideas of Ibn Taymiyyah are worthless. He was misguided and misguiding Muslims. He deviated from the consensus of Muslims and took a heretical path. Islamic scholar stated in unanimity that he was a heretic. Kutbud-Bardiri wrote this in detail in his commentary on Mukhtasar." [Tahir Muhammad Sulayman - Zahiratul-fiqhil-Kubra] "Kitab-ul-Arsh is one of his most awful books. There were scholars who said that a person who addressed him as Sheikh-ul-Islam would become a disbeliever." [Imam-i Subki] (He says so in the supercommentary on Nabras.) "Whoever follows Ibn Taymiyyah, his property and life is halal [lawful]." (Mirat-ul-Janan, supercommentary on Nabras) Ibn Taymiyya says in his Kitab-ul-Arsh, "Allah sits on the Arsh, and He leaves space for His Messenger to sit next to Him." In his book As-Sirat-ul-Mustaqim, he declared some notable companions, such as Ibn Abbas, disbelievers. (Kashf-uz-Zunun) In his book Al-Abudiyyat, he says that making dhikr of Allahu ta'ala's name is innovation and heresy, and he made vicious slanders on Sufi masters. Ibn Taymiyyah said, "The existence of the Arsh is beginningless [qadim]." (Sharh al-Aqaid al-Adudiyya) While descending from the minbar of the mosque of Damascus, he said, "Allah descends from the sky to the earth just as I am descending now." [Ibn Battuta - Tuhfat-un-Nuzzar] Even Abd ar-Raziq Pasha, who was a disciple of Abduh and followed in his footsteps, said: "Just as Wahhabism is linked to Ibn Taymiyyah in one respect, so the reformists ideas of Abduh, who is called the restorer [mujaddid] of the current century, are linked to Ibn Taymiyyah." Ibn Taymiyyah said, "It is not necessary to make up qada salats." However, making up a qada salat is obligatory in all of the four madhhabs. He claimed that the torment of Hell would not be eternal. However, there are many Qur'anic verses stating that disbelievers will remain in Hell eternally. (Al-Baqara 81, Al-Ahzab 65, Fussilat 28, Az-Zukhruf 74) By saying "Umar made a lot of mistakes," he objected to the hadith-i sharif that says "Allahu ta'ala has put the true word on the tongue of Umar [He never makes a mistake]." Even if the majority of the Companions erred in the matters deduced by way of ijtihad, their errors were related to ijtihad. It cannot be known whether a mujtahid erred in his ijtihad because an ijtihad does not invalidate another ijtihad. For this reason, those honorable people, who were mujtahids, should not be criticized. Though the ijtihads of the four madhhabs are different from one other, their founders did not criticize one another on the basis of difference in their ijtihads. He attacked Sufi masters, such as Hadrat Sadraddin al-Konawi and Ibn Arabi and said, "The books of Ghazali are full of fabricated hadiths." (Hadiqa) Hadrat Imam-i Sharani stated: "Ibn Taymiyyah denied Tasawwuf [Sufism] and made defamatory remarks on the Awliya'. One must beware of reading his books in the same way as one bewares of predators." [Tabakat-ul-Kubra] Hadrat Imam-i Suyuti stated: "Ibn Taymiyyah was arrogant and full of himself. It was his habit to represent himself as superior to everybody, to look down on the person whom he talked to, and to make fun of great scholars." [Kam-ul Muarid] Muhammad Ali Bey said in his Hitat-ush-Sham: "Ibn Taymiyyah’s and Priest Luther’s aims were identical. Whereas the Christian reformer was successful, the reformer of Islam was unsuccessful." Hadrat Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani stated: He spoke ill of the great ones of the Companions and said "It is haram to set out on a journey to visit the grave of the Messenger of Allah. [Hadrat] Ali's iman was not valid because he was a child when he believed. [Hadrat] Uthman had excessive love for wealth." [Ad-Durar-ul-Kamina] Hadrat Ibn Hajar al-Makki said: "Ibn Taymiyyah denied the immunity of prophets from sins. However, it is one of the attributes of prophets." He objected to one's visiting the blessed grave of our Master the Prophet and those of the Companions, the Awliya', scholars, and pious Muslims. He considered it haram to use them as a means for intercession. [Fatawa al-Hadisiyya]
Call me whatever u want. But in my experience, when u visit the shrine of a real Saint and ask Allah with their intercession, you get exactly what you ask for. Death isnt end of life.
Neither does quran says that death is the end of life and trusting Allah only is better than getting what we want because Allah knows best. And intercession will only be granted to the prophet saw on the day of judgement by Allah's permission.
Why would you need a interessor when Allah s.w.t does not put one between yourself and him? I understand what you are saying but I ask you to reconsider. Allah knows best.
I don't really care what İbn Taymiyyah has to say. I care about what Islam has to say. The Sunni consensus is that mawlid is a biddah hasanat. A very positive innovation, suited for a time when people are forgetful of the prophet and his life.
Consensus? Are you sure? Did the prophet do it? Did sahaba do it? Did any of the great scholars do it? No, no, and no. Rafidi fatimids made it up, and you consumed the biddah and trash great men like ibin taymeyah for the sake of rafidi fattimids innovations.
@@artarak497 great. Can you please provide me with a sahabi saying mawlid is good. Or imam Malik, Imam ahmad bin hanbal, or bukari Unless your consensus doesn't include these great men.
Imam Abu Hanifa did not celebrate Mawlid . The great Muslims after the death of prophet Muhammad s.a.w..did not celebrate birthdays. The Fatimids Shia in Egypt in the year 1100 invented Mawlid. They copied the Christians.
Just like the Sufi brothers lol.. So bro we are all the same human.. All humans huh? But anyhow why would someone hate Ibn Taymiyya but people hated Issa, Zakariya as so it's normal that some good people won't be appreciated
Our success lies in obeying the command of Allah and following the ways of Prophet Mohammed p.b.u.h. 💟💓💖❣️💕💯💯💯. Celebrating birthdays is not a command of Allah nor is it a way of the prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h.👍 It is clearly an innovation.👌
Actually, the rituals of Hajj have more to do with Prophets Abraham and Ismael along with Ishmael’s mother Haajar (Hagar), may Allah Azawajal bless them all (aameen ya Rabb) than our beloved master and Prophet salalahu alayhi wassalam. Edit: Sorry didn’t see you already mentioned other Prophets.
People like Ibn Taymiyya remind me of the stone-hearted rabbi people that master jesus christ (pbuh) was sent to. What Ibn Taymiyya's saying is the actual bidaa. Master Abu Baker (pbuh) saw a man crying at the grave of the prophet and putting the dirt of the grave on his head and master Abu Bakr didn't say a word. Intercession and speaking with the buried has nothing.....absolutely nothing to do with polytheism, nor with the customs of pre-islamic arabs. Intercession is in the heart of the religion of Islam and it only reaffirms the oneness of God by acknowledging his servants and slaves who were enlightened by God's Grace. Ibn Taymiyya and those who follow him are actually following in the footsteps of satan without realizing it. Satan was the first who rejected intercession, he refused to intercede with God via our beloved Adam (pbuh). And for this God condemned him, even though satan was not a polytheistic. And in the time of prophet Moses (pbuh) satan asked prophet moses for redemption and for the forgiveness of god. And God revealed to moses that if satan prostrated at the grave of prophet Adam, he will forgive him. But Satan said "Did I prostrate to him when he was alive to prostate to him when he's dead?" And so Satan remained ignorant and condemned by his continual rejection of intercession. Rejecting intercession contains polytheism, while embracing it affirms monotheism, this would be obvious for those who have sense and spirit.
@@ummerfarooq5383 I don’t get it, how does mawlid violate this verse? And how is mawlid shirk? What’s shirk is you not celebrating the mawlid. If it weren’t for prophet Mohamed you would be kissing the feet of a stone and worshiping it, or you would be worshiping Master Jesus Christ. Show some gratitude to the prophet, without whom, you wouldn’t be worshiping god.
I already read that book cover to cover.... Its the most neutral academic analysis about ibn taymiyya .....not like some apologetic pro Salafi or pro Ashaari Muslim scholars.... Even though coming from a non Muslim western academic...
Sisters and Brothers. Celebration of the prophet birthday is INNOVATION. He never Celebrated it nor did the prophet celebrate the OTHER PROPHETS birthdays nor did the Companions celebrate any prophets birthday. Prophet.M was asked why do you fast on mondays he replied " i was born this day". The prophet merely showed GRATITUDE by offering a fast to God almighty he didnt have a celebration. Islam teach us how to IDENTIFY truth. When something is PURE/righteous you WILL RECOGNIZE IT and when something is bad for us YOU WILL RECOGNIZE it but when something is UNRECOGNIZABLE as either good/bad then ISLAM encourage us NOT TO GAMBLE WITH OUR IMAAN and rather be SAFE than SORRY so logic dictates because theres no SOLID CLEAR evidance and confusion the OBVIOUS DECISION would be NOT TO CELEBRATE and preserve your imaan. 365days a year you can make THIKR and all sorts of prayers for the prophet JUST DONT DO IT ON THIS SPECIFIC day because then it becomes part of the religion as its crept in today. Same with ALL the holidays like mothers day etc DONT DO IT that one day do it 365 days a year and randomly THIS IS THE POINT dont CARVE IN STONE a specific day. When you study SATANISM you will find their most CELEBRATED most important festival is CELEBRATING THE BIRTHDAY to give give credit and SELF praise to the SELF. There is no God. You are GOD. You were born out of your own power. THIS holiday his NO LINK TO ISLAM but its GREATLY PRAISED in satanism. Hadeeth teach EVERY INNOVATION is a MISSGUIDANCE and every missguidance leads to the hellfire. BE safe my family dont Gamble your imaan and your family. Do whats right.
Re: A sacred place, what of Zakkariya visiting the cave of the Virgin Mary to supplicate for a son. The same location where she received sustenance including out of season fruits, from God.
@@haideraliibnakhlaq8823 No the super Sufis are copying the Catholics when their Dua starts with "Madad Ya rasoolallah...", Catholics seek intercession through Mary too. All shirk Akbar.
First of all: reference, please. Second: hadhrat Maryam (As) was provided sustainance in a 'masjid', a place of worship. It wasn't a tomb or shrine to her, and it wasn't made special by her having been there.
Ibn Taymiyya is not an authority among the vast majority of Ahul-Sunnah scholars, (only modern Salafi consider him an authority, actually the one and only authority, but they aren't Ahul-Sunnah anyway). Ibn Taymiyya has broken consensus in over 60 fiqh issue that scholars over 7 decades before him agreed on. That says enough.
Ibn Tamiya was called the Sheikh of Islam because he was more knowledgeable than most scholars in Islam. You are an ignorant in Ahlu Ssunah. To sum it up for you, the only Ahlu Ssunah nowadays are the followers of Salaf.
60 fiqh issue?!!! Can you give me 10 of those 60?!! and let assume he was, so what?! He is a merely human being he can be wrong, actually he teach us that only the prophets are impeccable and every one else can be mistaken. Not like some people who can be fooled and scammed by their mullas...
Nice reading! With all due respect to Jon Hoover's critisizm on Ibn Taymiyya's, he's out of scope to critisize any scholar of Islam for a simple reason that he wouldn't fully understand the issue of "Baab Sedd Al-Tharai'i" باب سد الذرائع, or in English I might translate it roughly like: The cause of blocking reasons, which is to block any innovation in practicing Islam that the Prophet (PBUH) or his companions didn't do in order to block the way on doing worse things which lead to the worst.
Mourn not celebrate? Because we hold the Prophet(saws) in high regard and Love him. When your mum or dad dies, why don't you do nothing, neither should you shed a single tear.
No one does that. And the date of passing away is not the 12th of Rabi al-Awwal. And even if it were the date the Sacred Law has prohibited us from mourning more than three days after the demise of a person. The time period for rejoicing and being grateful on the other hand has not been specified and are thus limitless.
Peace Thank you for this useful job that you made. Actually Ibn taymiyah has been much misrepresented during the history of Islam. He was genius, a devout muslim. For example His ideas on natural sciences is good and brilliant. Or his hostility agaisnt many superstitions which were (and are) widespread crises. About issue of graves iam not 100 percent for his side or 100 percent against. As I said he was an intelectual but unfortunately biased against some ideas and muslim sects. We see how Ibn taymiah rejects a hadith as weak while it is obviously authentic or identifies some hadith as wahid while it is mutawatir or mashhoor!! Just because of undermining some one's theology he rejects sth obviuosly true. Even Ibn Hajar Al Asqalani mention this problem with ibn taymiah. In some cases I can not make sense of his way of reasoning. It is not a good way to refute shia' with saying that "Ghadir hadith" is wahid! Or accepting some set of hadithes and ignoring others. There are other troubles with him on nature of God(does he have a direction? Does he have a physical body? And etc) and other issues.
I think there's a recognition even when we intend good we can be lead astray and forget our intention and get caught up in actions probably not best practice. There should be parameters
If you are wondering more about the topic, study about the two types of Bid'ah. Bid'ah Hassanah and Bid'ah Dhalalah. However, mind you that this topic is rather heavy. May Allah swt give you guidance towards your journey.
"Alone You do we worship and alone You do we ask for help" - surah Fatiha - first chapter of The Qoran. We only pray to one being - The God. All other beings are only creatures.
Should we not call a doctor if our child is sick or the fire dept when our house is on fire? Surely Allah awj is watching so we should just pray to Him & ask Him Alone right!? The doctors & fire men are creatures after all.
@@matthewpaulson6497 In The Qoran, the direct speech from God to Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, is not the only type of content. There is also story telling and prayers that we should say when seeking protection from God. So, God is not worshipping Himself, rather showing us the right way of doing it.
@@matthewpaulson6497 Jesus, peace be upon him, prayed to God. So, if you believe that Jesus, peace be upon him, was God then you also believe that God prayed to God. Think about it. May Allah guide you.
@@matthewpaulson6497 So do you believe that Jesus, pbuh, is God or son of God? If he, pbuh, is son of God, why do you pray to him, pbuh, and not to God? If he, pbuh, is God, then how can God be a being that needs to eat, sleep...a being that can bleed?...
I respect you, your channel , and your knowledge . However , please dont quote people like Ibn Taymiya . The claim is that he is '' Sheikul Islam '' while the fact is that he wasn't . Sheikul Islam was a title bestowed by the state . This man was imprisoned several times for being not mainstream . The prophet , peace be upon him , declared that he has completed the religion of Islam in his farewell sermon . So whatever scholars say or think after the death of the prophet are just either personal opinions or commentary .
