"At the end of time. There will appear some people among you who are young in age, immature and senseless; they will use the best of the speech of the people in their claims, and they will leave Islam just as the arrows pierces the body of the game and then abandons it. Their faith will not go past their throats, so wherever you see them, kill them; for their killing will be recompensed and rewarded on the Day of Judgement". Sahih Bukhari
These are regarding people who display open kufr. The hadd cannot be carried out on one who does not display open kufr. Now if the ahlul Sunnah scholars considered Mu'tazilites Muslims, what about khawaarij, huh?
Now you can sit here and say that the Khawarij are muslims if you want, this is why ISIS and Al shabab has free reign because you don’t know what defines a muslim yet you consider yourself a traditionalist. One who accepts a scholar that rejected ahlulsunna and thus deemed himself a kafir is not following ahlulsunna. It doesnt matter if your against wahhabism if you defend their scholars like ibn taymiyyah then your one of them. When ISIS burned the jordanian pilot alive, they used Ibn Taymiyyah's fatwa for their defence and when Boko Haram leader opened a masjid he named it Ibn taymiyyah.
Yes, the khawaarij are considered Muslims. This was the stance of the Sahabi Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA) himself; this was also the stance of Imam As-Shafi'i (yet you al-ahbash claim to follow Imam Shafi'i). So if the authorities on Islamic law have not declared khawaarij kuffar, who gave you the right to do so? WHO ARE YOU? You're a nobody, an ignoramus.
Im attacking Ibn taymiyyah who lived during Mongolian rule, and im presenting to you Sunni scholar opinion on him, which has been brushed aside from terrorist wahhabis.
Ibn Taymiyyah was not declared a kafir by ANY scholar of ahlul Sunnah, yet you're here to declare him as such?
Comparing Allah to a moon is kufr, if you cant recognize that then you’re a kafir yourself. Violating Scholarly consensus made Ibn Taymiyyah an infidel. Ibn Hajar has listed it in his refutation. i have had debates with many people on this subject and everyone agreed he was called a kafir, its just you that refuses to understand that. Maybe an academic review of Ibn Hajar's fatwa might clear things up for you.
This is a blatant lie against Ibn Taymiyyah and he has done no such thing. Wallahi you're a bold-faced lier and you've failed to provide evidence that ANY scholar made takfir of Ibn Taymiyyah.
YOU accuse him of tajsim but what did Ibn Hajar say in his defence?! Read:
Ibn Hajar said: " ... those of his stances that were rejected from him were not said by him due to mere whims and desires and neither did he obstinately and deliberately persist in them after the evidence was established against him.
Here are his works overflowing with refutations of those who held to tajsim yet despite this he is a man who makes mistakes and is also correct. So that which he is correct in - and that is the majority - is to benefited from and Allah's Mercy should be sought for him due to it, and that which he is incorrect in should not be blindly followed. Indeed he is excused for his mistakes because he is one of the Imams of his time and it has been witnessed that
he fulfilled the conditions of ijtihad.” He fulfilled the conditions of ijtihad!!! And you call him a kafir?!
Page 77 clearly says Ibn Hajar cleared Ibn Hanbal of Anthromorpohism but declared Ibn taymiyyah and his student heretics
The only person that (remotely) accused Ibn Taymiyyah of ahtormorphism was Ibn Hajr al-Haythami and the basis of that may be the works of ibn Battuta and a statement by Ibn al-Qayyim that he has misunderstood. Ibn Taymiyyah was far removed from anthropomorphism.
Dr. Sa'id Ramadhan al-Buti who says, "And we are amazed when we see the extremists declaring Ibn Taymiyyah,
may Allah have mercy upon him, of being an unbeliever. And also at them saying that he was one who held Allah to be a body (
mujassid), and I have studied long and hard as to where I could find a statement or a word from Ibn Taymiyyah that he wrote or said which would indicate his holding Allah to be a body as was quoted from him by As-Subki and others [This is a clear indication from Al-Buti of the injustice done against Ibn Taymiyyah by the likes of As-Subki and others]
What positive things have scholars said about Ibn Taymiyyah? Read:
Ibn Hajar al-`Asqalani said that calling Ibn Taymiyyah "Sheikh ul-Islam, will continue tomorrow just as it was yesterday"
Muhammad ibn 'Abdul-Barr as-Subki said, "By Allah no one hates Ibn Taymiyyah except for an ignoramus or the possessor of desires which have diverted him from the truth after he has come to know it." ['
Radd al-Wafir' (p. 95) of Ibn Nasir ad-Din]
al-Haafiz Jalaal al-Deen al-Suyooti (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Ibn Taymiyah, the Shaykh, the imam, the ‘allaamah (great scholar), the hafiz, the critic, the faqeeh, the mujtahid, the brilliant mufassir, the Shaykh of Islam, the leader of ascetics, the unrivalled in our time, Taqiy al-Deen Abu’l-Abbaas Ahmad al-Mufti Shihaab al-Deen ‘Abd al-Haleem, the son of the imam and mujtahid Shaykh al-Islam Majd al-Deen ‘Abd al-Salaam ibn ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Abi’l-Qaasim al-Haraani.
Imam al-Dhahabi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, listing his Shaykhs: He is our Shaykh, the Shaykh of Islam, unrivalled in our time in terms of knowledge, courage, intelligence, spiritual enlightenment, generosity, sincerity towards the ummah, enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil, and learning hadeeth – he put a great deal of effort into seeking it and writing it down, and he examined the different categories of narrators and acquired knowledge that no one else acquired.
al-Haafiz ‘Imaad al-Deen al-Waasiti (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: By Allaah, there was never seen under the canopy of heaven anyone like your Shaykh Ibn Taymiyah in knowledge, righteous deeds, attitude, manner, adherence to the Sunnah, generosity, forbearance and carrying out duties to Allaah when His sacred limits were transgressed; he was the most sincere of people, the most sound in knowledge, the most effective, the most serious in supporting the truth, the most generous, the most perfect in following the Sunnah of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). We have never seen anyone in our own time who demonstrates the example of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and his Sunnahs in word and deed like this man; a sound heart will bear witness that this is following the Sunnah in the true sense of the word.
The Ahbash slander posted by Rudboi is false, now we are talking about Ibn taymiyyah but AICP are around and if you dont believe me, go and contact them on their website
Wallahi you're clearly lying again. For the statements of kufr, innovation and heretical beliefs are to be found in the works of your "scholars". You people are not ahlul Sunnah, in fact, al-ahbash are far removed from Islam.
What did the Prophet (SAW) say about bid’ah (innovation)?
in the hadeeth narrated by 'Aa'ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her), who said: "The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: 'Whoever innovates something in this matter of ours that is not a part of it will have it rejected.'" (Reported by al-Bukhaari, Fath al-Baari, no. 2697). How can anybody then say that bid'ah is acceptable and it is permitted to follow it?
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to say, when beginning a khutbah (sermon): "… The best of speech is the Book of Allaah and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad. The worst of things are those which are newly-invented, and every innovation is a going astray…" (reported by Muslim, no. 867)
The word bid’ah has it’s root words in ba da 3a which means to start/invent. We can see that the Prophet (SAW) did not use the definite article “al” so clearly the term bid’ah is referring to EVERY newly invented matter. Some mubtadi’3een have invented a concept called bid’ah hasanah, using the statement of Umar (RA) out of context (there’s evidence for this). Some of what may appear to be bid’ah such as the mawlid have been accepted by many scholars so long as they include actions that are not contrary to that which the Prophet (SAW) prescribed or approved of (such as poetry and the likes).
Now what did the early scholars, (taba) taabi’een and some of the most knowledgeable people to work on the earth say about bid’ah (innovations)?
Al-Layth bin Sa`d (r.h) said: “If I saw a person of desires (i.e. innovations) walking upon the water I would not accept from him.” So Imaam as-Shaafi`ee then said: “He (al-Layth) has fallen short. If I saw him walking in the air I would not accept from him.” [as-Suyooti in al-Amr bil 'Ittibaa wan-Nahee anil Ibtidaa`]
It’s strange that the al-ahbash claim to follow Ash-Shafi’I (RH).
Imâm Al-Shâfi’î said: Whenever any people of desires (heretics) came to Mâlik he would say to them, “As for me, I am upon clarity as regards my religion. As for you, you are a doubter, go and argue with another doubter like yourself.”
Sufyan ath-Thawree (r.h) also said "Whoever listens to an innovator has left the protection of Allaah and is entrusted with the innovation.”
Ibraaheem bin Maysarah said: “Whoever honours an innovator has aided in the destruction of Islaam.” [al-Laalikaa'ee (1/139)]
Imaam Maalik (r.h) said: “How evil are the people of innovation, we do not give them salaam.”
Al-Fudayl Ibn ‘Iyaad (d.187H) said, “If a man comes to a person to consult him and he directs him to an innovator, then he has made a deception of Islaam. Beware of going to a person of innovation for they divert (people) from the truth.”
'Umar ibn 'Abd Allah-'Azeez (r.h) said, "There is no excuse for anyone, after the Sunnah, to be misguided upon error which he thought was guidance."
I can provide for you many more evidence regarding the falsehood of al-ahbash. I am quoting to you the Prophet (SAW) and the senior-most scholars of Islam, are you blinded by your desires? It’s very clear that we (Muslims on this forum) do not follow the innovations that you follow. We follow the guidance of the Prophet (SAW). We do not support any form of corrupt/fitna.
Ali ibn Abi Taalib (may Allah be pleased with him) said “we will not fall into the innovation of labelling others (meaning khawaarij and the likes) as disbelievers and thus label them as such”. Yet here you are making takfir of Ibn Taymiyyah, something even the senior-most scholars of Islam haven’t done?
What have modern senior scholars of Islam said about Ibn Taymiyyah? Watch al-Bouti (who was a Sufi btw) refute the claims that were made against Ibn Taymiyyah:
Dr. Sa'id Ramadhan al-Buti who says, "And we are amazed when we see the extremists declaring Ibn Taymiyyah,
may Allah have mercy upon him, of being an unbeliever. And also at them saying that he was one who held Allah to be a body (
mujassid), and I have studied long and hard as to where I could find a statement or a word from Ibn Taymiyyah that he wrote or said which would indicate his holding Allah to be a body as was quoted from him by As-Subki and others [This is a clear indication from Al-Buti of the injustice done against Ibn Taymiyyah by the likes of As-Subki and others]
If you’re questioning me being a legitimate Sunni Shafi’i then I will test you in Shafi’I jurisprudence and prove to you that I have superior knowledge of this madhab than you and most of your folk. You will know what it means to be truly debased!
Get out of here with your new kafir cult! The only cult proven to be kafir on this thread are the al-ahbash! You’re worse than the khawaarij.
