Ibnu Taymiyyah : ابن تيمية
Ibnu Taymiyyah : ابن تيمية
|
Taqiyyu d'Ddin Ahmad ibnu Taymiyyah , known as Ibn Taymiyyah,
was a Sunni Muslim theologian, jurisconsult, and reformer.
He was born in 661 AH, 1263 CE at Harran, Turkey, and died
in 728 AH, 1328 CE at Damascus, Syria. He was never
married, so his life was dedicated to learning, writing,
and teaching.
He was folowing the Hanbali school of jurisprudence
founded by Ahmad ibnu Hanbal. He was also a member of the
Qadiriyya Sufi order founded by Abdul-Qadir Gilani.
Even if he was of sunnite doctrine, Ibn Taymiyyah had some
nonconforming views regarding the Hanbali jurisprudence, and
all the three oher Mathaahib (doctrines). This what he made
him reformer (Mujaddid) .
Beside his rejection of some traditions, the main
view is that the veneration of saints and the
visitation to their tomb-shrines is not
acceptable.
Ibn Taymiyah believed that Islam was perfect and complete
at the days of the companion (the time of As-Salaf
As-Salih), so he was against Sufism , Shi'a, Christians,
Mutazila, and philosophers.
This opinions made him unpopular with the majority
of the religious scholars of the time, under whose
orders he was imprisoned several times, in Damascus,
Cairo and Alexandria.
His particular interpretations of the Qur'an and
the Sunnah and his teachings had made him one of
the most influential writers in contemporary Islam.
Sunni scholars of the Ibnu Taymiyyah denounced him.
In their fatwa, they called Ibn Taymiyah as a misguided
person who was deserting the Sunni tenets. Some of them
went so far as to declare his writings as Kufr.
In addition to Al-Qa'ida and other jihadi groups,
Ibn Taymiyyah has paticularly and profoundly
influenced Muhammad ibnu Abdul-Wahhab, the founder of
Wahhabism, and Hassan Albanna, the founder of Muslim
Brotherhood in Egypt, at the beginning of the 20th
century.
Ibn Taymiyya was given the title of "Sheikh ul-Islam" by
his supporters but his adversaries contested this use.
This honorific position allows issuing "Fataws" (plural
of fatwa).
A fatwa is an authoritative verdict that the Sheikh'ul-
Islam, a qualified jurist or "mufti", can give on issues
pertaining to the Islamic law. The person who issues a fatwa
is called, in that respect, a mufti, i.e. an issuer of fatwa.
The students of Ibn Taymiyyah were Ibnu Kathiir,
Ibnu Qayyim Jawzi and Adh-Dhahabi.
Ibn Taymiyyah's total works have not all survived and
his extant works of thirty five volumes are incomplete.
Extant books and essays written by ibn Taymiyyah include:
• A Great Compilation of Fatwa,
collected centuries after his death,
• Minhaj as-Sunnah an-Nabawiyyah ,
• Al-Aqidah al-Waasitiyyah,
• Fatawa al-Kubra,
• Fatawa al-Misriyyah .
• The religious and moral doctrine of Jihad
• The status of Jihad in Islam
Ibnu Taymiyyah had manifested his knowledge with action.
He , himself, was engaged in the Jihad against the Tatars in
a country dominated then by the Mamluks.
Jihad means the great effort on the path of God.
These invaders took rule and judged by "al-Yasiq", which is
a book forged by Genghis Khan, the founder
and first Great Khan of the Mongol Empire.
al-Yasiq corresponds to a book of laws composed of different
Jewish, Christian and Muslim legislation, and where Genghis Khan
put many laws that he simply drew from his thoughts and passions.
It was put forward in judgments by the Qur'an and the Sunnah.
Sheikh-Al Islam Ibnu Taymiyyah declared Kufr upon them for this
act of apostasy, and waged Jihad against them for consecutive
years by forming many battalions, until the ruling state
returned to the Al-Muwahidoon.
So Ibnu Taymiyyah forged his theory of Jihad from some
specif verses of Quar'an and some specif hadiths.
For istance, in his book "Majmu'at Al-Fatawi", part 28,
page 394, Chapter Al-Jihad, He said:
“Whomsoever the Da'wah (invitation) of the Messenger
sallallahu alayhi wa salam has reached them to the Deen
(religion) of Allah, with which he was sent , and they do not
respond to it, it then becomes an obligation to fight them
According to the the verse “..until there is no more Fitnah
(oppression(, and the Deen is for Allah alone.”
[Suratat Al-Anfaal: 39]
There is also a hadiith that use the Jihadists. It is written
in the two Saheeh collections Al-Bukhari #2946 and Muslim #21.
This hadith says:
“I have been commanded to fight the people up until they
bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship
except Allah alone. Whoever declares that, then their blood
and their wealth are safeguarded from me, except that which
[Allah] has a right upon, and their account is with Allah.”
All the verses of Qur'an and the Hadiths of this kind
need to be used by Ahl Al-Uqul (those who has a spirit)
to use them , if they are authentic, exactly in their
contexts and exactly where they should be, and to
extract the appropriate interpretation.
The infuence of Ibnu Taymiyya is manifested in
organizations like Wahhabism, Salafism, Qutbism
(Muslim Brotherhood), Jihadism, Al-Qa'ida, An-Nusra
(Islamic Front), and ISIS (Daa'ish).
We are seeing , nowadays, Islamists Shuyukhs manipulate
and distort the Ibnu Taymiyya’s work and find the way,
by issuing a fatwa, to manipulate victims, and, by the
name of the Qur'an and the Sunnah , the legitimise
their actions aftermath.
To recap, the work of Ibnu Taymiyya has to be reviewed and
corrected, if it's worth it.
