Re: Attributes of Allah - The Belief Of True Salaf
I must say, reading this thread has only increased my love for Ibn Taymiyyah. Since all the claims here are not even proven that they are actually from the man himself. It just proves the Soofiyyah and their likes will to any extenet to lie and discredit the Imaam, when so many of the Scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah after him praised him to the point they called him "Shaykh al-Islaam".. So and so said Ibn Taymiyyah said...
Please. I mean using silly stuff like Ibn Taymiyyah said Allaah Ta'ala sits on His Throne - this is a blatantly stupid and a silly thing to say, since those who have actually studied books like al-'Aqeedat il-Wasitiyyah know exactly what Ibn Taymiyyah says about that. He leaves it as Allaah and His Messenger left it - i.e. Istawaa 'alaal 'Arsh.
Leave the Imaam alone. He's probablly grazing in one of the Gardens of Jannah in his Grave right now (and we ask Allaah that it is so) and you people are spreading lies upon him without REAL evidence.
This does not mean Ibn Taymiyyah had no mistakes - he did. But as one of the Scholars said, his mistakes are like a drop in the ocean.
