Ibn Taymiyya: A Summary of Dr. Yasir Qadhi's dissertation at Yale University

- In the latter part of the sixth century of Islam, an Iranian Scholar by the name of Fakhr ad-Dīn ar-Rāzī (rahimahullah) produced a hundred page treatise on the theological discourse of the Names of Attributes of Allāh (subḥānahu wa ta'āla). His treatise was presented to a Sultan who was related to Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn al-Ayyūbi (rahimahullah). In it, he propounded something he called 'The Universal Rule', which stated that if reason conflicted with revelation, precedence must be given to reason over revelation.
Some two centuries later, one of the greatest thinkers of Islamic history, hailing from the city of Damascus, produced a ten-volume magnum opus refuting this alleged 'Universal Rule'. The name of this man was Shaykh al-Islām Taqī'l-Dīn Ahmad b. Abd al-Haleem Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah), a genius whose intellectual brilliance is hardly seen during or after his era.
Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi, who regards Shaykh'l-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah) as an intellectual mentor, spent eight years examining the above-mentioned work, and presented it as his PhD dissertation at Yale University. In his work, Ibn Taymiyya argues that there can never be an actual conflict between true reason and explicit revelation.
Join Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi in this very interesting and academic talk on a summary of his dissertation at Yale University.
Recorded on 22nd March 2013
Thank you for this fine presentation.
I studied Islam and ME history for quite a few decades when I was still Christian. Even then, I could see the power of ibn Tayymiyyah's mind. He clearly had a first rate mind--I believed that even though I wasn't Muslim and disagreed with Islam. As a recent revert to Islam, I'm even more impressed with Tayymiyyah's insight and realize even more how important he is. If we don't study this man's work, we are missing one of the powerful figures in Islamic intellectual history.
Spot on brother
I love you for the sake of Allah ❤ I’m so happy Allah guided you
Whether you hate ibn Taymiah or like him, one has to admit that he truly was a genius.
How can someone hate shaykh al Islam rahimahu Allah
@F Haque abdul wahab who created his own ideology afyer reading ibn taymiyyahs works, also worked with the zionist British in taking down the ottomon empire
@F Haque since then, theres always been the najdi movement. Wahabism and salafism who are double standard people.
@@firqahnajiyah1 says the person that’s acting like a 12 year old.
@@firqahnajiyah1 yeh thats why I said double standard, cuz some claim to be from hanbali where as some are against the 4 imams. Man saying im the 12 year old when your acting like one. If you have nothing good to say then keep quiet.
some of these comments are truly saddening. if any of you feel like ibn taymiaah (r) is wrong about something, it is okay. however, it is not okay to insult him ( dead man ) or his many followers. after all we can differ in opinions, and opinions can change with experiences. to comment " ibn taymiyyah is a kafir " or " stupid " without reading any of his work, is merely ignorance. love each other for gods sakes, we are limited beings.
Anyome who hates ISIS must hate the Shias. Shias pioneered suicide bombing in 1983, more than two decades before ISIS took up the baton from them
Mustafaplays I agree, brother. Ibn Taymiyya (ra.), is dead. Regardless of his controversies, we must pay respect
Nature Lover shut up Wahhabism is bigger enemy then even shia, atleast shia don't pretend to be sunnis. u are kufar Wahhabi who wants to divert the issue to shia, nice try. I don't hate isis for suicide bombings, I hate them because they follow an infidel named ibn taymiyyah
Mustafaplays but most salafis haven't read his work either and still hold him to such a high status.. no one had heard of ibn taymiyyah for hundreds of years he was a average mind it was only 2 hundreds years ago his teachings came out again.. you are the product of suadi Arabia pumping billions into the movement
Have you read all his works brother?
Alhumdulilah such a beautiful talk. May Allah raise the ranks of Imam Ahmed and Imam Ibn Taymiyyah who dedicated their lives and faced persecutions for the preservation of Aqeedah of the Salafs.
I love u brother for that comment
This has absolutely nothing to do with the Aqeedah of Salaf us Salih and Khalaf may Allah be pleased with them all, and then you wonder why he was persecuted and put in jail multiple times by prominent Sunni scholars.

God is also a beardless, curly haired, young man who rides on a mosquito:

Ibn Taimiyah cited this text from Sheikh al-Daremi and he wrote that he believed in it.
Interestingly, there is a similar belief in Judaism, because they believe God rides on an angel. We read in the The Old Testament,
Book of Samuel, 22:11 (King James
version):
"And he rode upon acherub, and did fly.: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind."
Enough about your gods attributes, let's see what ways of transportation he uses to get to his intended destination:
"Allah is able to relocate from here to there through rope"

Aameen
@Ahmad when ashari means intellectual, wahhabi. 🤣
Subhan Allah, Shaykh ul Islam ibn Taymiyya (r) was truly the epitome of what a Scholar should be ...and a mind like his is really what is needed in our times!
The greatest battles are the battles of the intellect, only the feeble mind resort to derogatory and vulgar language or worse, physical harm when critiquing their opponent who belongs to a different group or sect.
Shaykh ul Islam ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah) is the perfect example of an intellectual brilliance and personality that was way ahead of his time and his works are just mind blowing, only if people understood the genius of his writings - may Allah have Mercy on him and bless us to walk his footsteps for the betterment of the Ummah, Allahumma ameen.
Sorry to say that this guy is a Dhajjal not just misleading the Muslims but also the entire Americans and others.
The time of general public is precious and there are plenty of things they have to know. This kind of philosophical matters should be limited to be discussed among scholars or specialized study purpose the way he did for his Doctorate.
The mere fact that this guy is discussing all these difficult matters with general public is the proof the this guy does not have proper idea of Quran eventually Islam.
Ibn Thaymiah and F Razi discussed issues related to their time which should be analized in their context but not in the modern time. What we need is to analyze the scriptures (Quran and Hadeeth) according to the modern time and its challenges; and find out practical mechanisms which suite the modern time.
Please convey this message to this guy and let him stop spreading falsehood otherwise they won’t be no option than targeting further.
sunnis called ibn taymiyyah an apostate only Wahhabi imposters like yourself love him
Systems Academy Your explanation was so good. Too bad you had to resort to Dhajjal calling... that was poor.
Ibn Taymiyya = Saudi Arabia.
No they are not based on him but someone after that called Muhammad ibn Abd-al Wahhab
Super like.
Rasulullah (SA) said in one hadith narrated by Ibn ‘Abbaas:
“Reflect on the creation of God but do not reflect on God.”
So much venom here below against Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahu'llah), it could make one sick! Truly the devil has beautified your actions in your own eyes.
Does God Almighty have a face? Yes, that's what HE says in the Qur'an.
Does He have two hands? Yes, that's what HE says in the Qur'an.
Can we ever imagine or understand what's meant by those words? Never! Not in this life.
So who gave YOU the right to negate those attributes or to interpret them as per YOUR own whims and intellectual taste?
This is NOT tajseem/anthropomorphism! It is simply an affirmation of God's own words WITHOUT any interpretation whatsoever.
May Allah guide those who genuinely seek His guidance.
excuse me brother,
can you please reference where Allah says He has hands or a face?
Mohammed Hanif
Dear Brother, if you're asking for an Aya that says something like: "I have a face" per se or "I have hands" per se, then you obviously won't find such ayat.
However, if you're asking for a literal reference to Allah's hands and face in the Qur'an, then please read below.
Reference to Allah's two hands in Aya 75 of Surat Sad:
قال يا إبليس ما منعك أن تسجد لما خلقت بيدي أستكبرت أم كنت من العالين
Here Allah (SWT) says: "I've created with my (own) two hands".
Reference to Allah's face in Aya 27 of Surat Ar-Rahman:
ويبقى وجه ربك ذو الجلال والإكرام
Fadi Al-Mufti dear brother,
Then when you wrote earlier: "yes that is what He says in the Quran" in reference to face and hands, you were making ta'weel and not taking these verses literally? You were.actually interpreting those verses despite saying you weren't.
The strict non-interpretive understanding of those 2 verses would be
1. God created with two Hands
2. The Face of our Rabb will remain
without saying He has two Hands or a Face or what these refer two.
My problen is that you seem to condemn some Muslims for interpreting these verses but you do so as well.
Mohammed Hanif Brother, may I ask you if you are an Arab yourself?
Fadi Al-Mufti no, I'm not an Arab.
When I first read the name of these book in a biography of Ibn Taymiyyah rahimahullah, I wished to read it. Jazakallahu Khair Mr. Yasir Qadhi for giving us the essence of the book and wallahi, my respect to Shaykh ul Islam increased manifolds after hearing the elegance of his arguments. May Allah have mercy on him.
Thanks, really appreciate your thoughts. I just wanted to know about Ibne Tammya, in Urdu , unfortunately couldn’t find any book in Urdu , but this lecture did help.
So, once we have Iman that’s all matters, we don’t have to go in ever ayat and looking for a philosophy behind it.
Thanks To Allah, Quran is for everyone, Allah knows his creation , only 4 or 5 % of people who reached to the top of Maslow’s hierarchy.
What Rasool peace be upon him gives us we need to follow.
Jazakallah brother Qadhi
Moulana abul hasan nadwi has one volume on ibn taymiya which goes by the name tarik dawat wa azeemat it has also been translated in english by the title saviours of islamic spirit
Better for you as a Muslim to learn Arabic . Ibn Taymiyya said it is fard Ayn for every Muslim.=obligatory.
Beutiful explaination Sheik Yasir Qadi,May Allah give us more intellectual like of Yasir Qadi
people hate ibn taymiyyah but they never studied nor do they know the Arabic to read them, ask them the conditions of the shahadah they're instead list football players names loool go write a 10volume book against the shia if you can.
Wonderful and intellectual. I am an Ashari Sunni, and I truly enjoyed this lecture. Allama Yasir has done a good job, but please please have cross dialogue with Ashairah like Hamza Yusuf, Sh Asrar Rasheed, Sh al Yaqoubi. This would be great service done
His some of the claims is problematic, he call theology as pseudo science...
Imam Ahmed (the only imam of the 4 to live in that time) opposed the ashari aqeedah
May Allah guide us to the truth
@@shuaibmohammedc it is a pseudo science
@@tataoma9976 no he did not
Sounds like a pure masterpiece! Can't wait till your dissertation is published Shaykna, so that we all can benefit from your research & thesis, insha Allah! :D
I would love to read the full dissertation. Amazing

I agree. Shaikh al Islaam ibn Taymiyyah was amazing.

@@alkarrafi7645 Jazak allahu khair brother/sister :)
Mashallah, much love and respect to Shaikh Yasir Qadhi.
Its humbling to learn the immense knowledge of the scholars of the past.
I cannot stop loving sheikh ibn taymiya, if only Shia and Sufi and other sects understand him, he takes us scripturaly and logically to Islam of first generation.
the only ones who are in a sect are the followers of ibn taymiah's anthropomorphism
he said that god is like a young man with long blond hair running in a meadow
your guru is a schizophrenical psychopath
without saud's hell money you would never have heard about him
Understand that he ascribed attributes of human face, eyes, hands etc etc to Allah (swt). Lahawlawala quwwat
@Path of Sahaba th-cam.com/video/_cQBifAcpWk/w-d-xo.html this is just a glimpse for what is about to come for you InshaALLAH. InshaALLAH will discuss about his life and why many known sunni ulamas declared him as kafir. But if you still refute to all the statements then brother you are on the path of kufr. And what is this path of sahaba? Did they bring Islam or was it Holy Prophet (saww)? If you deem all the sahabas to be guided then brother you need to be schooled about that too.
@@hasanbilgrami5735 If Kalam theologans will reinterpret this verse about estewaa (being above the throne) because the act of being above a throne is human-like then they have to deny and reinterpret the hundreds of verses that describe Allah as seeing, hearing and speaking for these are indeed human-like as well. Of course Kalam and Ashari theologans will respond that the divine attributes of seeing, hearing, and speaking are in a modality كيفية that is befitting his Majesty and glory compared to those of man.
Ibn Taymeyyah and the Salaf before him demand that the same principle should be applied to the attribute of estewaa (being above the throne) as well. i.e God's estewaa above his throne is of a modality that is befitting to his Majesty and unlike that of man. It's the same principles when it comes to all Allah's attributes. We don't cherry pick based on our whims.
Ibn Taymeyyah and the salaf's position is very clear and straightforward when it comes to divine attributes: we should describe Allah only with the terms that He or His prophet used to describe Him and negate what Allah and his prophet negated.
That's why Ibn Taymeyyah refused to affirm or deny corporialism as it wasn't affirmed or denied by Allah or his prophet, so we don't go there and we don't speak about God without knowledge. We do not reinterpret what we simply don't like with our reasoning because human reasoning is limited to what we experienced in this earthly life where nothing is like God.
To all the people spreading hate and filth below it really shows what is in your hearts. Fear Allah swt if you have any iman and speak good or remain silent. And please stop pretending to be scholars and giving fatwa on who was guided or misguided, and go learn how to read surah Fatiha.
iera uk@ Well said bro
There is only one clear verdict on this from Allah's Kalaam: Refer to Aayah 7 of Surah Aal e Imran: 03:07:= "It is He Who has revealed the Book to you. Some of its verses are absolutely clear and lucid, and these are the core of the Book. Others are ambiguous. Those in whose hearts there is perversity, always go about the part which is ambiguous, seeking mischief and seeking to arrive at its meaning arbitrarily, although none knows their true meaning except Allah. On the contrary, those firmly rooted in knowledge say: 'We believe in it; it is all from our Lord alone.' No one derives true admonition from anything except the men of understanding."
this verse alone refutes most of ibn taymiyah points mentioned in this video.
@@xGen720 how?
@@xGen720 I think it supports Ibn taymiyyah's arguments
@@aformula4198 because not all verses in quran are clear and lucid as claimed but some verses are ambiguous and none knows their true meaning except Allah.
@@xGen720 everyone agrees on that..how does that refute Ibn taymiyyah?
The core of Tanzeeh is to believe that Allah is ABSOLUTELY beyond need and comparison. Hence, believing that Allah is a spatial entity or something with a size, shape, or form, is tantamount to tashbeeh (resembling Allah to the creations).
Abu Ja`far At-Tahawi said: "Allah is supremely clear of all boundaries, extremities, sides, organs, and appendages. None of the six directions contain Allah as is the case with all the originated beings."
Ali G this is the true sunni creed

Subahanallah. I wish the comments section was disabled. Ibn Taymiyya (rahimahullah) is a well respected scholar. And to see Muslims trying to use vulgar language and defame each other is so disheartening. May Allah guide us all to the straight path and accept our forgiveness and grant us Jannah. May Allah disgrace the people who disguise themselves as Muslims to create confusion and mischief. Ameen.

To say God has a body belittles God and is scientifically impossible.
Ibn taymiyyah was nothing but a good for nothing bum who drowned in philosophy. He will burn in the deepest pits of hell along with Iblis, may Allah damn them both.
They are abusing him and he is better than us
The best 1 hour and 10 minutes I invested in TH-cam.

Genius. If only current 'salafis' and touters of 'hanabila' had the academic and intellectual discipline of the Ibn Taymiyya they talk of following.
Mashallah. Rahimahullah.
People just have no idea the weight of the words that they are saying. May Allah have mercy on Ibn Taymiyyah, and may He have mercy on all the righteous scholars of Islam, ameen.
"Simple as this, leave it at that."
`Aqeedah really isn't that hard. Philosophy is really a perfect label for what it is - love of speaking. It's too much. Allah is One and Completely Unique. What's there to talk about?
Salaams bro!
Aqidah is not hard - it is the explanation of aqidah ('ilm al kalam / theology) which is hard and cannot simply be dismissed. Most believers simply accept the aqidah for what it is at face value and do not need to go further. But other people are so constituted that their intellect forces them to search into these matters - theoogy is a medicine for them, and also a shield and sword against heretics and non-believers.
Mohammed Hanif Very true, but it can lead very quickly to absurdity as well. Depth of understanding is a must.

I am trying to find a lecture on ibn taymiyas belief in existence of multiple worlds. Can anyone help on this please.

May Allah curse him

Ibn taymiyya, the sun of his century and those who came after them, may ALLAH swt has His mercy and blessings on him
Fakhruddin razi rh used laysa kamithlihi shay verse before giving a meaning to mutashabihat verses and words like yad.. So the first meaning of yad is hand, this meaning is secondary and literal, the verse laysa kamithlihi shay takes precedence(1st) over hand(Literal yad)(2nd), hence another meaning is taken that does not resemble Allah to creation. Here all verses reg Allah is taken first before a meaning inc laysa kamithlihi shay! Any meaning that likens Allah to creation is rejected.
Razi rh Yad - laysa kamithlihi shay(1st verse) - control(2nd) example
Ibn taymiyyah used yad - hand, using reason(meaning) over revelation ie The verse laysa kamithlihi shay comes AFTER(2nd) according to this group and the meaning apparent/literal haqiqi hand is taken before(1st).
Ibn taymi Yad - hand(1st meaning), laysa kamithlihi shay(2nd verse)
So who used reason over revelation? Def not fakhruddin razi rh. Twisting words to support and fool people does not work for long. Falsehood can be covered with a word of truth, when the truth is unveiled falsehood is exposed. Verily falsehood by its nature is bound to perish.

[35:12] Amazing point. Great lecture in general. Jazakallahu khair.
Watching Dr. Yasir's presentation of his PhD on Ibn Taymiyyah is intriguing. Particularly when Dr. Yasir shows Ibn Taymiyyah as the pianeer who nigated and refuted all mutakallim contradicting to themselves. In reality Ibn Taymiyyah himselves immensves articulated about properties of Allah rendering hugely on his own intelectual capacity.
With respect from Uzbekistan..
Shia are guilty of what they accuse others of
Al Kafi is the most authentic Shia Hadeeth book
We read
H 21, Ch. 1, h 21
Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla ibn Muhammad from al-Washsha’ from alMuthanna
al-Hannat from al-Qutayba al-A 'sha’ from ibn abu Ya‘fur from a slave of clan of Shayban
from abu Ja‘far (a.s) who has said the following.
"When al-Qa’im, (the one who will rise with Divine Authority) the guardian, of our family will appear
from occultation, Allah will place His hand over the heads of His servants and, thus, He place their
intelligence together and complete their understanding."
I appreciate your intellectual explanations. Alhamdulillah ! Allahuakbar !
"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 onMukhtasar." [Tahir Muhammad Sulayman - Zahiratul-fiqhil-Kubra]
One argument I did not hear the sheikh address...And that is, unlike mutazila, philosipha, etc. who were changing core meanings, taking metaphorical understandings of certain texts, like gods names, does not change the core meaning of the islam. The same message is taken away from either approach. Big difference in that and mutazila isnt it?
For example, Asharis say God cannot be on a throne, for it would assume, God is limited to time and space, therefore, it must be metaphorical. Asharis say, no God says he is on a throne, but it is unlike any throne we can comprehend. So essentially its really just a meaningless statement with no value, as they have no idea what the throne means. Therefore, the throne becomes metaphorical for them as well...What's the difference? Seems like semantics. At least with the Asharis, we can attempt to understand the text. The Atharis have no take away from the message.
Secondly, I wish he would address the role of metaphor in text. Does Ibn Tamiyah deny the existence of that? If so, that is strange, as metaphor is used all the time in language in Arabic poetry is it not? And is he does agree on the use of metaphor, where and when is it used in the texts and how do we know when to use it?
Thirdly, I wish he would have addressed the downside to literal interpretation of text. Namely its tendency to promote extremism and intolerance. Some text clearly contradict other text, without metaphorical understandings of some, how do you make sense of it all and reconcile it all together? Seems like you cant, and rather just ignore certain texts.
good questions
Baraka Allah in your PhD! Thank you for the Excellent lesson.
Not that Allah has conquered the entire creation. Rather He has set in perfect order the entire creation in every moment everywhere based on His perfect plan and wisdom.
The root meaning of istawa is sawa
استوى...سوى
Recall the order to straiten the lines in prayer is istawaa..make the lines strait in the correct manner...closely line up the feet and sides of the bodies.
For further proof read verse 29 Surat Al Baqarah. The Cow chaprer 2 in Quran
@Path of Sahaba YES, there are so many differences of ulama on this one.
Start with the fatawi of Ibn Taymiyya and you will be amazed. ..MORE THAN FIFTY!!!...In Arabic of course.
Further more if we do not use our Akaal and ponder over verses then you will find many contradictions. Surah Iklaas is in direct refutation of God having literal hands even if they are like nothing we can comprehend.
The Problem which Muslim Ummah is facing today is that they dont respect if somebody disagrees with them , I m Shia Muslim , I myself read some of his work like Sharh Aqidatul Wastiya, I completely disagree with Ibn Taymiyyah thoughts , not only with him I also disagree with some thoughts of Shia Muslim scholar - Allamah Majlisi on Usool , but giving intellectual respect to some scholar is must , this is the same trend which i see when there is video about Imam Khomeini , instead of looking at his books like 40 Hadith , Discipline of Prayer etc , some people Misquote his book on some theological and Jurisprudential issue , i just said these words here becoz i saw comments below this Lecture in which ppl were sending somebody to Jannah and somebody to Hell , this attitude will make Islam a mockery ,which to some extent has happened , also followers of Shaykh Ibn Taymiyyah should also know to respect other scholars whether he is Sufi like Ibn Arabi or Barelvi or Shia so that despite our strong differences with ibn Taymiyyah still we respect his beliefs and rational thoughts , Inshallah the differences in this Ummah will flourish and enrich the Islamic Civilisation based on the principle of Tawheed and Universal Brotherhood
@@googleuser-fo7td exactly
does yasir qadhi mention ibn taymiya believed the world was always existing with Allah?
Does he mention ibn taymiya mentioned this in at least 7 of his books?
does he mention ibn taymiya went against the consensus of the scholars more than 50 times?
does he mention ibn tamiya said Allah sits on the Arsh (!) and leaves a space on it for Prophet Muhammad?
does he mention ibn taymiya was imprisoned 3 or 4 times and died in prison as a result of his heretical beliefs?
or does he believe all the scholars conspired against him and were haters?
Can anybody add subtitle (english)? Because we'll translate but some words that we do not understand. Please?
How did Ibn Taymiyyah reconcile the fact that on one hand he discredits aql as being subject to the individual(subjective) and time(culture, surroundings etc.), and on the other hand he appeals to it to accept his arguments? If it's invalid to begin with, then surely accepting his arguments is just as prone to be wrong.
I find it fascinating that a lot of what he described against the rationalists(that they use difficult words and do the emperor-has-no-clothes thing) is happening now with the salafi atharis who do the exact same thing, but argue what he argued.
Fascinating! Allahumma barik. JazakAllahu khayr.

Abdullah Ibn Masud (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that Allaah’s Messenger (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “The last person to enter paradise will be a man who will alternately walk, stagger and be burnt by the Fire ... until his saying: “Then a third tree will be raised up at the gate of paradise, and it will be better than the first two. The man will say, “O My Lord, bring me closer to this [tree] so that I may enjoy its shade and drink its water, and I will not ask for anything more.” Allaah will say, “O son of Adam, did you not promise Me that you would not ask Me for anything more?” He will say, “Yes, O Lord, I will not ask you for anything more.” And his Lord, may He be glorified, will excuse him because he is seeing something which he has no patience to resist, so He will bring him closer. When he is brought close, he will hear the voices of the people of Paradise, and will say, “O my Lord, admit me to it.” Allaah will say, “O son of Adam what will bring an end to your requests to Me? Will it please you if I give you the world and as much again?” He will say, “O Lord, are You making fun of me when You are the Lord of the Worlds?”“ Ibn Mas`ud laughed and said, “Why do you not ask me why I am laughing?” They asked, “Why are you laughing?” He said, “Because the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) laughed”, so they (the companions) asked, “Why are you laughing, O Messenger of Allaah?” He said, “Because of the Laugh of the Lord of the Worlds when he [i.e. desirer of Paradise] said, “Are You making fun of me when You are the Lord of the Worlds?” He will say, “I am not making fun of you, but I am able to do whatever I will”“. [Sahih Muslim]
There is clear evidence in this that Allaah is attributed with laughter, and that his laugh is real; we know this through the action of the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam), in which he laughed due to Allaah -the Mighty and Majestic- laughing. However, Allah’s laughter, though Haqeeqi, is not like creation’s laughter in its reality, and none knows how it is in reality except Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic. What is obligatory upon us is to believe and submit.
The Face of Allaah is one of Allaah’s Attributes which is true and real, just like all the other attributes that have been reported in the Book and the Sunnah. The exact nature of His Face, like all the other attributes is unknown, and in this regard the statement of Imaam Maalik constitutes the scales by which all of attributes are understood, "Istiwaa is known, but its modality (kaif) is unknown, having faith in it is obligatory and asking about it (i.e. about its true nature is an innovation".
Then from the Sunnah, is the saying of the Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam), "His Veil is made of light and if He was to uncover it, the splendors/radiances (subuhaat) of His Face, would destroy everything of His creation that His Sight would reach." [Muslim, from Abu Moosa al-Ash’aree]
So it is clear from this that the Face, which is an Attribute of Allaah, also has attributes.
Following hadith clearly proves that the Wajh of Allah is Haqiqee (Real).
"I seek refuge in Allaah the Mighty (al-‘Adheem) and in His Noble Face and His Eternal Power for Shaytaan the Accursed" [Abu Dawood].
Concerning the interpretation that Face refers to His Essence (Dhaat). Then if it is meant by this that it refers to His Essence while at the same time affirming a Face for him, then this is acceptable. For Face is an attribute of His Essence and it is not something created or separate from Him. Hence, if everything will perish save His Face, then it is understood from this that His Dhaat will not perish either, it will remain and this is because Face is an Attribute of the Essence, not created and separate from it. However if it is meant that it refers to His Essence while at the same time denying the attribute of Face for Him, then this is falsehood as has been made clear from the above.
Imaam Bukhaaree affirms, without doubt, the Attribute of Face, just as he brought narrations in affirmation of Hand, Eyes, Self (Nafs), His Speech, His being above the Throne and many of the other attributes that the Jahmiyyah denied.
do not behave like a jahmee who denied the Face of Allah as haqiqee (real attribute)
Regarding the statement of Allaah the Most High,
For those who do good is the best (i.e. Paradise) and something more [that is better]?. (Yunus 10:26)
Then the Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wasallaam) said in explanation of this, "Looking at His Face, the Most High" (Muslim 1/163).
Therefore, the one who denies the attribute of Face for Allaah then he is claiming that the Believers in Paradise will be looking at something imaginary, and in this he has made a great error and invented a great lie.
it is the ahlul kalam who think that God is physical body.
its ironic that the founder of asharism was a mu'tazila
No Athari Scholar has explained God in terms of Jism (body).
The scholars of Athari creed affirm life, knowledge, hearing, seeing, face, hands, eye(s) [in their meanings] for Allaah without giving resemblance to the creation
Enjoying this very much.
Where are the remaining comments?
Ibn taimiyah doesnt represent the athari school,
Why?!!!!!!
he's not that bad, he's repented for his mistakes, many of which people today, muslims, can't do.
Hhhh you are fool I swire by Allah bacouse Ibn Tamiya hanbali but he follows the Dalil even if hé good agenst thé hanbali madhab and in aQida Ibn taymiya us atharu aQida from ahl asona (ahl alhadith) hé follows the prophit and his companions ,tabiain .and the four imams and all the imams of hadith
@@azeddinelmansour8355 wow، so arrogant, mashallah, ibn taimiyah himself didn’t even say he was athari, what else do you want ? Ibn taimiyah some 8th century scholar follows the “Dalil” and the other hanbalis and imams before and after him don’t? What a load of nonsense, go ahead and live in la la land, you’ll be with your sole sheikh on the day of judgement inshallah
I'm not even Ashari, I have just studied some of their traditional curriculum and this type of misinformation is what further divides us. Plus if you want to talk philosophy, take a look at Ibn Taymiyya's big books (that almost no Salafi either quotes or has made it to level of Arabic required to read)and tell us he does not give Allah jism.
Affirming attributes is not giving Allah a body.
@@shihab2468 He looks like a neo Jahmi undercover agent 🤣
How does anyone get a copy of the dissertation, can we read it online.
What?! Who said being opposed to homosexuality makes you a racist?! Sexual orientation is not racial. This smells an awful lot like the argument Muslims use when confronted with criticism of Islam. They throw out the racist card. Even though Islam is not a race.
I would Ashairah to tell me what they think about the Arguments that ibn Taymiyyah RH brought. Did the changed any of your Opinions?
No hate. Asking for educational purposes
Turn from the majority to a small minority,
I'm not ashari sufi deobandi shia rafodhi etc, but what ibn taymiyyah wrote about Allah Almighty I strongly disagree with and so should everyone else.

Ibn Taimiyah cited this text from Sheikh al-Daremi and he wrote that he believed in it.
Interestingly, there is a similar belief in Judaism, because they believe God rides on an angel. We read in the The Old Testament,
Book of Samuel, 22:11 (King James
version):
"And he rode upon acherub, and did fly.: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind."

Immensely enjoyed watching this
at 35th minutes if logic or aqal arrives and accepts that quran and sunnah is correct then the case should be closed. not that you should for the rest of your life keep doubting it and keep questioning it.
Assalaamu Alaikum...
Why is it that I am not able to find this 100 page treatise?
Has it been translated into English?
Sharh Asma' Allah al-Husna (Commentary on Asma' Allah al-Husna); is this the title of the treatise?
With Peace Sakinah 🌹
Allahu Hafaaz
Amazing lecture
Simple to understand
Thanks alot 😊❤
Fakhruddin ar-razi seems a real rational and intelligent man who didn’t want to be a sheep and believe anything
Where can I find a digital copy of Dr. Yasir Qadhi's dissertation?
Just google it it’s out there
it is insightful how Imam al-Razi is described as merely an "Iranian scholar" whilst Shaykh Ibn Taymia is "one of the greatest thinkers of Islamic history".
+Mohammed Hanif Imam Al-Razi RA was a great, great scholar. Sadly, the author that you see presented is an individual that was on the salafi bandwagon for many years, he then broke away from them and now is independent. Sadly, he didnt attempt to read the books and fatawa of Ibn Tammiyya RA, where in certain books it is reported that he gave literal interpertations to mutashaba ayats, however other books by him suggest not so, many ulema quote famously that the reason for his arrest was the fact he was teaching such to his students and was imprisoned for this, but Allah now best. But my point is, i hardly accept things like this, you get a book produced by some scholar and then start to rebuttal it not even nowing whether the book is original or not, whether it has been tampered with. you may suggest hocus pocus, to which i will say go pick up imam Bukhari RA book Adab Al-Murad and then go pick a same one, but it must be edited by their great scholar Shaykh Albani and then open the two and start comparing them, you will find that many hadiths are missing from the shkaykh albani as he threw them out, and when questioned his response was the one we are given today, "It was to safeguard the ummah, as they may not under these hadiths" but you will never get the above ulema bothering to investigate that nor the life of ibn tammiyya RA and the books he published or "alleged published" you will find many contradictions even to the point were he has interpreted mutashaba ayat literally. I still love the ulema, as they have done so much for us, but the scholar in the video is presenting a biased picture, because he has not devlled nor beeen critical of Ibn Tammiyya RA. but hey thats just what i think, but the Imam bukari thing is true, research it up, or even better go find the and get the orginal book and the edited one by albani and see the difference. just to let you know, ibn tammiyya ra came in 661 H imam ashria and maturidi RA came in 250H and they were salaf sualiheen.
Surahkahf Yaseen that is a grave accusation . Be prepared to back it up on Yawm al Qiyama or abjure them before it's too late.
+Surahkahf Yaseen They don't care about the racism and murder ibn Taymiyyah advocates or his anti intellectual prescription for Sunnis

Mohammed Hanif Maybe because Ahlul Kalam never recovered after ibn Taymiyah destroyed the Ashari creed in detail using both reason and revelation to do so.

Can anyone please tell me names of the books Dr Yasir Qadhi has mentioned in his lecture please?
درء تعارض العقل والنقل
Thank you so much for this information. It as causes me to go to the library.
Wallahi this is exactly what is happening in our modern times
World record for name dropping his study at Yale University
the part where he says "a daleel is not based on whether it is aql or naql but by the yaqeen reached by the aqil or naql due to the daleel's own merit" is a farce. It's word play. We know from the Imams of the salaf that one Imams daleel had no merit in the usul of another Imam. The debate has always been what is considered merit to whom. It's a fancy way of stating an obvious age-old fact the beginning seeker of knowledge even knows. It's just his way of saying "I already know I'm right and here's where I tell why i think so"
What Imam Razi wrote about the 4 possibilities when the meaning of the Text has conflict with the Reason or the Rationale. Imam Razi asked us to safely reject all these 4 possibilities that lead to kufr, then advised us to bring in the 5th possibility of conforming the textual meaning to the intellectual meaning.
Actually Imam Razi says don't deny the Text, which is MUNAZZAL MINALLAH as denying the text entails kufr, BUT LEAVE THE TEXTUAL MEANINGS TO ALLAH and say ISTAWA we know but its kyf we don't know. Know that what isn't describable is kyf here.
We know what is laughing but when it comes to Allahs' laughing, we can't describe it....Allah knows how He laughs in ALLAHU ZAAKIKAN; it is certainly not like our laughing.
This is true when we deal with the HUROOF-E-MUQATTE'AAT and to AAYAAT-E-MUTASHABIHAAT, both are Munazzal minallah and we have to believe in them as they are the text, but leave the ir meanings to Allah and try not to give them your own meanings.
THIS CLEARS THE AIR AND SAVES US FROM KUFR.
But ibn Tymiyyah refuted this neat and clean resolving of the conflict between a'ql and naql in 10 big volumes raising 44 points; but Dr. Yasir Qadhi holds that Ibn Tymiyyah didn't write anything from his side while he was answering the questions Imam Razi raised. This simply means Ibn Tymiyyah isn't in fault but it is Imam Razi's fault to have started this discussion.
The first point Ibn Tymiyyah wrote is THE NAQL ISN'T DEPENDENT ON YOUR A'QL, so what you understand isn't the meaning of the Text.
Razi, in fact isn't giving any meanings to the Text. Instead he is saying BELIEVE THE TEXT AND LEAVE ITS KYFIYYAH TO ALLAH, for you aren't mukallaf to know the KYF of the Kalamullah, but you are responsible in believing THE TEXT.
the majority of sunni Islam is ash'ary and Maturidy, and both hold the same creed only differences in terminology. Both hold the creed of the salaf and thus the ash'ary do not reject the books of Abu Hanifah but agree with him such as the book of Alfiqh al-Akbar and the creed of Imam al-Tahawiyy. The term Athary is a whole new explanation the wahhabis are using the validate the path of Ibn Taymiyah who was imprisoned and rejected during his time. Ibn Taymiyah came during the 7th century and imam al-Ash'ary lived in the 3rd century. If you truly want to follow the companions of the prophet then stay away from Ibn Taymiyah. Its very strange how wahhabis will come up with new terms and explanation to claim that they are salafi while they follow a man that came around 7th century and try so hard to convince themselves that this man was in the path of those called Atharies and the Atharies lived at the time of the salaf .... and this man who came 4 centuries after the salaf knows the way of the salaf. Imam Ashariy and Maturidi did not invent a new path but supported the path of the sahaba and this why the great mojoriy of scholars agreed with them except people like Ibn taymiyah and his followers. and Ibn taymiyas followers when faced with the reality they try so hard to prove otherwise when the truth is so clear and evident. May Allah guide us and show us the truth as truth and enable us to follow it.
What Ibn Taymiyyah tought the Wahabbis/Salafis is that divine intervention requires proof and evidence from the perspective of the non-Muslim world. hence it became easy to topple the sunni Islam that recognised Ibn Taymiyyah as an apostate was eventually given the hejaz of a bid'a Saudi Arabia country that follows a law that everyone should be Muslims by the sword. Quite the contrary as the Khalifa established by Muhammad pbuh had all people living underneath a just system that Saudi Arabia doesn't want to follow. Then the Western world to moved into modernisation through a materialistic philosophy/ideology with wahabbism at its forefront to establish an Islam that can have breakfast with the Kufaar and still appear to be Islamic. Now if Muhammad pbuh was here today he wouldn't recognise Saudi Arabia as an Islamic country, so why do we because Ibn Taymiyyah does. Then Abdul Wahab followed his teachings and allied himself with Ibn an Saud who have Jewish ancestory hence why Saudi Arabia supports an apostate state known as Israel. If the Salafis and wahabbis want to attack other Muslims based on bid'a, they need to look no further than Saudi Arabia that is bid'a in itself. This movement then created ISIS to kill real believing Muslims by the sword!
Mohammad Naqash Seems like a good speech, but there are some mistakes in your wordings so it made me hard to understand. I'm no fluent in english
Mohammad Naqash Your ideology is based upon conspiracy theories and not Islam. Such a shame. You don’t do justice to that honorable name.
I do really hope that i can watch the Q&A session. It must be interesting.
Masha Allah sheikh... Very nicely put forward... I hope people understand...
Allahu Akbar. How late am I. This was 6 years ago. Please come to Malaysia.
About the last points, Syeikh (i.e. to not 'Overhaul' Islam) it should not be your opinion. It should be a fact.
"There is no doubt that Ibn Taymiya was a harsh polemicist. In his writings, he was unforgiving to any other group because he truly believed there is one Islam that is correct Islam." ~ Yasir Qadhi 18:30
That is to say Ibn Taymiya was Tomàs de Torquemada and Grand Inquisitor of Islam who issued zillions of fatwas condemning anyone who disagreed with his position or veered from what he saw as the "only true Islam" to be summarily killed, sometimes for the simplest of reasons. He was ruthless and uncompromising tyrant. His fatwas has been used to exterminate all those who followed any other creed, sect, ideology or path than his narrow understanding of Islam.
He was a harsh polemicist no doubt and I believe his somewhat brash writing style causes many Salafis to be enamored by him and they easily become fanboys to him. But he was no mad takfeeri nor was he vengeful, he already had a chance of imprisoning of the scholars who imprisoned him but he didnt.
That was his beauty, he was ready to standalone on what he says & teaches whether world opposes or accepts it.
@@kolohaksja2260 No scholar teaches suicide bombing or killing other humans.
IBN TAYMIA has answered issues of Re interpretation and he says Ta'awiil if has the evidence is acceptable and if there iis no evidence is not acceptable it will be real meaning.
When he says if it has eveidence he meant the following
1. We look the words if hd been expalined in another verses or
2. Explained by the prophets
3. By looking contextual meaning or meaning according to the context
4. By looking Arabic language or
5 . By see if the predisessor had translated those words
If all these conditioned are not reached the meaning will be the way it is.
So you cant just start re interprete words without looking all these criteria
Whoever affirms to Allah a body or parts is unbeliever; even if he says not like other creatures ~ Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal r.a.
Reference for this??
***** Some verses in the Quran are to be taken litteral, some are to be taken metaphorical.
Ibn Taymiya followed the Aqeedah of Ahlul Athar (Athari Creed).
Therefore He follows the same manhaj of Imam Ahmad.
Imam Ahmad (d. 241H) said: We affirm the Attribues and we do not make any similitude for them. This is what has been agreed upon by the scholars.” [Usool As-Sunnah]
Ibn Taymiyyah refutes the stance of the Mushabbihah (those who liken the creation with God: anthropomorphism) and those who deny, negate, and resort to allegorical/metaphorical interpretations of the Divine Names and Attributes. He contends that the methodology of the Salaf is to take the middle path between the extremes of anthropomorphism and negation/distortion. He further states that the Salaf affirmed (ithbaat)all the Names and Attributes of God without tashbih (establishing likeness), takyeef (speculating as to “how” they are manifested in the divine), taʿteel (negating/denying their apparent meaning) and without taʾweel (giving it secondary/symbolic meaning which is different from the apparent meaning). [Al-Aqidah Al-Waasitiyyah]
Scholars of Ahlul Athar believe in the Attributes of Allah as mentioned in the Quran. they do not ask how, or give resemblance and neither do they change the meaning.
Ibn Taymiya never bellieved that Allah has body (jism). He simply affirmed the attribues menntioned in the Quran such as the Two Hands (Yadain) and Face (Wajh) of Allah.
Imam al-Haafiz adh-Dhahabi said
As Allah exists in a real sense, not metaphorically, His attributes cannot be taken as metaphorical, because in that case they could not be divine attributes, because the attributes are connected to the one who possesses those attributes. As He exists in a real sense, not in a metaphorical sense, His attributes cannot be metaphorical. As there is nothing equal or similar to Him, there can be nothing like His attributes.
[End quote from al-‘Uluw, p. 239, 250]
***** Besart Dovolani
Regarding the verse; “(Allah) said: ‘O Iblis! What prevents you from prostrating yourself to one whom I have created with both my hands? Are you haughty? Or art you one of the exalted?’ ” [Sûrah Sâd: 38:75]
The fact that Allah singles out Adam saying that He created this creature with His own two hands shows how much Allah has honoured Adam.
AhlusSunnah are unanimously agreed upon the belief that they are Two actual Hands, which in no way, resemble the hands of created beings. It is not correct to distort and misinterpret them to mean ʺstrengthʺ or ʺblessingsʺ for many reasons. Some of them are as follows:
Firstly: It would mean that the apparent meaning of the wording is changed to mean a metaphorical one with no supporting proof.
In fact there are hadith that proves the Hands (Yadayn) of Allah are real; Hadeeth: al-Bukhaaree (Eng.) Vol. 9, H604; Muslim (Eng.) Vol. 4, H6699: “Allah will grasp the heavens with His Hand and the earth with the other, then He will shake them …”
Secondly: the Arabic language mentions the attribute in dual form. Thus the verse affirms the Two Hands. The Power or blessings of Allah has never been mentioned in dual form in the Quran.
As in Arabic, it’s impossible to say that “Two Hands” means “Two Powers” or “Two Blessings”.
Thirdly: the Arabic word Yad means hand which is used in the verse been discussed. But the Arabic word for power is Quwwa which is not used in the verse 38:75.
POWER OR BLESSING IS NEVER FOUND IN THE DUAL FORM in the Quran.
Imaam Abu Haatim ar-Raazee (d. 277H) said: “A sign of the Jahmiyyah is that they call the Ahl us-Sunnah ‘Mushabbihah’ (Anthropomorphists).” [Ahl us-Sunnah of Abu Haatim ar-Raazee (p.21-22) and Sharh Usool ul-I’tiqaad (no.92).]
Imam adh-Dhahabee - rahimahullaah - narrates from Abdullah ibn Umar (radi-Allahu ‘anhu), “Allah created four things with his Hands, the Throne, Pen, Adam and Paradise, then for the rest of the creation he said “Be” and it became” (Ibn Jareer in his ‘Tafseer’ (23/185), Daarimee in ‘Radd Alal Mareesee’ (p.90), Baihaaqee in ‘Asmaa Was-Sifaat’ (p.233)).
The above hadith makes it clear that the Hand of Allah is real and is an actual attribute. Also the above hadith proves that the Hand (Yad) of Allah is different from the power (Quwwa) of Allah because everything is created by Allah’s will and power.
After this it is necessary to also bear in mind some of the replies of the Scholars of Ahl us-Sunnah to the Ash’ariyyah, Jahmiyyahs, Mu’tazila and other groups which used Greek philosophy to interpret the Quran.
Such as the fact that they affirm some of Allah’s Attributes and yet interpret others with ta’weel. Then the question arises: Why this contradiction? If ta’weel is correct why do they not do ta’weel with regard to all of Allah’s attributes? Or if it is correct to affirm Allah’s attributes without ta’weel then why do they not affirm all of Allah’s attributes without ta’weel?
What sound principle and proof do they use to distinguish between the Attributes which they accept without ta’weel and those which they explain away with ta’weel???
If they say that they do ta’weel of those attributes which they claim are attributes of the creation and therefore are not befitting the Creator - such as Allah’s Face, Hand, Arising over the Throne (al-Istiwaa) - then the reply is that the creation also have other attributes such as existence, knowledge power, will etc. which they share with the Creator. Then why do you manage to accept these as Attributes of Allah without ta’weel?
Then if they reply that we say that Allah’s existence is an existence not resembling that of the creation, but befitting His Majesty and likewise with regard to His Knowledge, Will and Power etc. - then the reply to them is: Then why are you not consistent and what prevents you from saying the same with the rest of Allah’s Attributes e.g. that Allah has a Hand befitting His Majesty, not similar to the hands of creation - and so on with regard to all of the Attributes - which is indeed the way of the pious Salaf.
*****
one of the big problems of asharis (such as fakhr ar razi) is that they think the Quran contains verses that imply God has jism (body). Even though the Quran clearly states that there is nothing like Him.
Shaykh cud u please talk about the end times in detail like gog and magog as the sea of galilee is drying so doesnt that mean they've been released? And the universal fasaad in the world today that has never been like this in the history of mankind
check out Sheikh Imran Hosein for that. Salaam
I would not recommend imran hosein, he throws in his own opinions which are a tad nutty
Infinite Knight
"never accept my opinion until you are convinced that it is correct" sound familiar to you ?
Infinite Knight tad nutty ? Hes off his rocker, disrespectful and reckless. He’s a walking fitnah that’s obsessed with a bigger fitnah.
I'm a big fan of yasir qadhi and ibn taymiyyah
The books you read aout ashiari's are the books written by the followers of ibn taymiyah
For ibn Taymiyyah the All Ash ari school of thoughts is like christians ? So it means they like kafhir? They have also big imaams , just curious please answer me.
I think it should be more simple and explained as he said Ibn Taymiah explained in 39:01 .
Who determine what is correct in these school of thoughts when all of them create their own rules of what considered correct....
@52 regarding "conditional belief"...isn't this also the aqeedah of iblees?!... just saying
very thought provoking lecture, jazakullah!
If you read the book of ibn Taimiyah, ibn Taimiyah supported Ashari. It's not read by Wahhabiyyah Najdiyyah.
Please read the book of ibn Taimiyah!
Who is ibn Taymiyyah? Surely these fools are not speaking of Sheikh ul Islaam(RA)
They are. If you want to cause indigestion for people of desire and exponents of shirk, just praise Sheik ul Islaam, Taqi ud Deen (RA)
Masha Allah and Dr Yasir Qadhi see you soon on 3rd of April in Manchester
Question. Around 34:50 you talk about a contradiction "In order for me to not reject the prophet(pbuh). you have to reject the prophet (pbuh). ( by rejecting the hadith )". I disagree, if you are rationalizing you are challenging the interpretation or the validity of the hadith that has been transmitted by humans after the prophet (pbuh), and not the prophet himself.
We know that the Quran contains metaphorical versus, to reinterpret due to the aqal is not rejection of Allah/Prophet but only a rejection of tasfirs that are man made.
Just read one of his book called AQEEDATUL TADMURRIYYAH
Way to go Yasir Yadhi! I am sunni muslim ash'aru but your way explaining it from a ovjective way was awesome. ! BTW, I tend to stick away from these issues and stick to wajibat ;) But I do hope the salafi brothers understand how asharism is connected to sunni islam
6:00 start
Simply what I concluded Ibne Taymiyya couldn't properly understood Ghazali and Razi. Both Ghazali and Razi were preferring Aqal and Ibne Taymiyya was arguing them. He was also following their ideology that's Aqal. Actually Aqal is too complicated thing, aspects of it. Its not simple common sense or contemporary science but more complicated than all that. In history what we have seen the results, the followers of Aqal - Naqal ideology followed more the traditions and Naqal- Aqal flowers kept on devising their oen ideology with the passage of time.
Allah teala created shapes and limits and He has no shapes nor limits nor boundaries nor image nor body
Everything will perish except His Face
