Why Study...Ibn Taymiyya, with Jon Hoover 

Shaykh Al Islam Ibn Taymiah was one of the greatest scholars of Islam. He was a master in almost all areas of knowledge. May Allah have mercy on his soul.

We muslims love ibn tayimiyah may Allah have mercy on him

When mongolians took over some of the muslims countries they captured muslims and christians, when he was negotiating the release of the captured, he insisted that christians to be released first. When he was asked why, by the mongolian emperor, he said: "They are our citizens and are under our protection" is that A MAN to hate?

Ibn Taymiyya (May Allah Have Mercy on him) was and will always be one of the greatest scholar of Islam.

Ibn Taymiyya (Rahimahullah) -The Genius ❤

I m half way down the work of Dr Hoover on ibn taymiyyahs theodicy of perpetual optimism. All i can say is I have never seen a genius on the level of ibn taymiyyah (rh) till date. Its just mindblowing. His caliber as theologian is almost unmatched. Not to mention he is a giant figure in Tafsir, Hadith science and Fiqh. Truly the person deserve the title of Shaikh al Islam.

Hes not a historien , he's a well respectful scholar in the islamic religion

Muslim scholars called it: Shaykh al-Islam * Books on Fiqh and Islamic Unification * Exposing false doctrines affiliated with Islam * Response to other religions and their invalidity * Explain that Islam is the ultimate religion of life - a philosophy that is famous for it finally * Excelled in reply and martyrdom. * Pain with all the cultures of the religions that I experienced to answer them May God have mercy on him

One of the best scholars of ALL TIME! IMAM IBN TAYMIYYAH (RA) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

may Allah have mercy upon him! ameen ya Rabb! a great scholar amongst the Muslims.

He is the greatest scholar in Islam after the "Salafus Salih" [Sahaba, Tabe'in and Atba' Tabe'in] era!!! He erred like all human beings!!! But he was on HAQQ!!! May ALLAH pardon him and reward him!!!

رحمه الله، من الرائع دراستكم لشيخ الاسلام ابن تيميه رحمه الله والذي قصرنا فيه

True. Actually if Ibn Taymiyyah was alive today he would denounce Osama Bin Laden ideology. Osama bin laden quotes the things he need and ignores the ideas that opposes him. For example, Ibn Taymiyyah wrote a lot against Khawarej ideology and the necessity of obedience to the rulers of Islam for the benefit of the public even if they have some downfalls. He also wrote a lot about criteria for Takfir. Which is all against the ideology of Osama bin Laden.

You would be surprised if you know that Ibn Tayymiah has written most of his books in prison from memory without references, and he was quick in writing, so he wrote “Hamuyiah aqeedah” creed of Hamah between time of noon (Dhur) and evening (asr), and wasytiah ( creed of Wasit) in one night, people until today reading them and books were written explaining them.

Really essential study very interesting valuable information delivered. Thanks a lot for such brilliant job

Western philosophy needs 2500 years more to first mature itself, and then try to understand and appreciate Ibn Tayimiah. He is one of the great scholars who refuted Aristotelian logic and ontology.... Which according to Martin Heidegger has wasted 2500 years of Western philosophy. (c.f Being and Time, Martin Heidegger).

Anyone can translate my words please!! اطلقوا عليه علماء المسلمين اسم : شيخ الاسلام *كتب عن الفقة والتوحيد الاسلامي *فضح المذاهب الباطلة المنتسبة للاسلام *رد على الديانات الاخرى وبطلانها *وضّح أن الاسلام الدين الاصلح للحياة-فلسفتة التي اشتهر بها اخيراً *برع في الرد والاستشهاد. *ألم بكل ثقافات الاديان التي عاصرته للرد عليها رحمه الله

These folks are lucky enough to discuss the distinguished Ibn taymiyyah.

Kudos to you my brother. We dearly love Ibn Taymiyya..

Thank you for helping Muslims learn about this great figure in our history whose prolific and enduring influence continues to bless us. You seem to be a very sincere person and a deep thinker. May God guide you to Islam if He has not already! Ameen.

Ibn Taymiyyah is the sheikh of tolerance and an encyclopedic scholar who has emerged in every art

great video - informative, audio not so goo - bit quiet

Ibn taymiyyah rahmatu allahi alayhi was a distinguished scholars that the world witnessed for his virtue,knowledge and seeking justice to all muslims

Am proud to have named my son Taymiya 💙

HAD IBN TAYMIYYAH (died 1328 CE) BEEN LIVING TODAY , Ibn Taymiyyah says at the beginning of his Manaqib al-Sham wa Ahlih (Virtues of al-Sham and Its People), explaining his reason for composing the treatise in the midst of events of the years 700-702 H, when Damascus was successfully defended against the ravaging Mongol army that had sacked Baghdad and was aiming for the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah in order to deal a fatal blow to Islam itself, “There are many virtues of al- Sham and its people established by the Book, the Sunnah and the traditions of the people of knowledge, and this is one of the things I relied upon in my encouraging the Muslims to fight the Tatars, my order to them to remain in Damascus, my forbidding them from fleeing to Egypt, and my inviting the Egyptian military to Syria and consolidating the Syrian military already there …” Ibn Taymiyyah ends the treatise thus, “Indeed, the fulfillment of these Prophetic texts became apparent in the most complete manner during our Jihad against the Tatars. Allah manifested for the Muslims the truth of that which we had promised them, and the barakah of that with which we had commanded them. This was a magnificent victory, the like of which the Muslims had not seen [in that age]: the imposing edifice of the Tatar kingdom, that had humiliated the people of Islam, was never routed or defeated the way it was defeated at the gate of Damascus in the great battle [of Shaqhab] during which Allah showered upon us so many of His favors that we cannot enumerate them, neither generally nor specifically.” ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IBN TAYMIYYAH WOULD NOT HAVE ALLOWED SYRIANS MASS EXODUS.

Thanks for the informative video. Do you know what is the most famous book by Ibn Taymiyya to read?

I love 💓 Ibn Tayimiyah rahimullah.. he jumped into the ocean of ISLAM and came out back with everything solved

Subhan Allah. What a great man. Rahimullah

very nice presentation thank you Nottingham

I have heard of my friends talk about ibn taymiya, and the arguments of his what I've heard are really good.

Ibn Taymiyya a great schollar of islam i'm surprised that Jon Hoover didn't convert to islam after reading Ibn Taymiyya perles !

رحم الله شيخ الإسلام.

thank you

"Shrine cult" Sufis debunked... Plus Ibn Taymiyyah discovered economics... Well sort of before Adam Smith.

he fought against the rulers? can you provide evidence for that brother?

The Mongols had converted to Islam, but Ibn Taymiyya ruled that they should be fought anyway because they resembled the rebel Kharijis of early Islam. Some contemporary jihadists have invoked Ibn Taymiyya's anti-Mongol rulings to justify making enemies of fellow Muslims.

Stop fooling our fellow muslims... Ibn taymiyyah was a great scholar and Imam... He never supported sufism....

good

Well It like I wanted to find out about St Thomas Aquinas and I explored and I am Muslim.

We would like episodes about it before and after Islam

May Allāh have mercy on him, shaykhul Islam

really poor audio

ibn taymmiyah ra is a legend!

@ 8:00 The suffering in Islamic theology indeed comes from God. As a reference from Quran 10:4 , 7:155, 21:35 among others. Suffering is a test for humanity, a blessing for the believers because through patience they attain God's mercy. I think a little more research on this topic would be needed by the speaker.

قدس الله روحه، وطيب الله ثراه

رحمه الله

الحمد الله ربي العالمين

may Allah guide you both and help in search of truth, Ibn Taymiyyah was great thinker, regardless weather osama bin laden qouted him or not, his works has nothing to do with present day terrorism!

Ibn taymiyyah .rahimullah

They way ibn taymiyyah exposed Greece philosophy is fascinating

غربي يأخذ الموضوع بعملية وحيادية..على عكس المتخلفين القبورية عندنا

Ibn Taymiyyah masha allah a great man, he became mufti when he was 22 years old. watch?v=T71W-U9bfnE

May GOD have mercy on him

Deeds are according intentions.

I hear he prohibit mantiq ? Or logic , i think That wrong

As a follower of mohammad saw don't follow any etc etc only follow rahmat ul aalameen saw and his way to pray to Allah swt all the fitna will end when you start following the real imam

Ibn Taimiyah rahimahullah is absolutely a great thinker. A true follower of prophet Mohammad shalallahu alaihi wa salam. Greatest scholar a Syaikhul Islam.

studying ibn taymiyya as a shia will be very interesting!

But that's like saying that supreme court justices have nothing to do with the Constitution. We don't always get to decide who appropriates our ideas. But doesn't mean a relationship is absent.

İbn taymiyyah kurdish kurdes

Ibn Taymmyya ra came up in a hanbali family studied Shafii fiqh.

Haha why they say arabic historian not muslim historian while he was kurdish not arab, when they talk about big personals they say arabic not muslim.

He was not Arab.

Taiymiyyah divided Muslims

Imam al ghazali

He was a genius. May Allah forgive him and have on him. Ibn taymiyya rahimahuLAh

You have totally MISUNDERSTOOD Sheikhul Islam ibn Taymia and that's because you dont know Arabic and therefore dont have proper access to his books!! Ibn Taymia رحمه الله and Ahlus Sunnah believe that Allah created Good and Evil and gave man the free will to choose between doing either, whilst strongly prohibiting mankind from any evil hence Evil cannot be attributed to Allah at all! Infact Allah created all actions but warned those committing evil of severe punishment in this world or the next! Evil exists due to divine wisdom but in no way can it be attributed to God Almighty because he has clearly outlawed all of it! So no our understanding is nothing like the Jews or Christians because our narrative actually makes sense! God Almighty has given us the choice between good and evil and when evil becomes the accepted norm he has punished nations with natural disasters and plagues and the innocents caught up were told not to live amongst such evil but didn't listen! God Almighty sent messengers to us and calamities befell them as a test from God Almighty and as a lesson to us on how to grin and bear hardship because being tested is part of faith and so being sick feels evil to us but it's a test of our faith and a chance to draw near to God Almighty and repent and so such tests can actually be a blessing in disguise. What's more he has commanded us to stay clear of harm and protect ourselves from it and from others and that's because some harms must exist to complete the balance of this world! Bees can kill us but their honey is a tasty cure for us and the food chain exists because everything was created in wisdom the venomous and the predators all exist in a balance! I think you need to re-read his works in Arabic...

Taiymiyah...Was he the father of Wahabism?

Most Importantly Ibn Taymiyya held the belief that the hell was temporary and with refining purpose (regardless of being a painful process) , rather than being an eternal place of unconditional punishment, which is theologically miraculous as it provides a lifeline for ALL people.

many scholars spoke out against ibn taymiyyah (ra) at that time. the same is true of Usama bin Laden (ra) and the Mujahideen today. that is a very important and undeniable connection between men who are upon the same manhaj (remember that Ibn Taymiyyah ra fought against the rulers of his time, even though those rulers - the taters - claimed to be Muslim).

Holllow

Ibne arabi was another great scholar of Islam and mujadsd alif thani
