Re: Attributes of Allah - The Belief Of True Salaf

@Ahmad G

So: at least, if you claim that ibn Taymiah only meant by his statments in the references I mentioned that the salaf did not literally “deny it nor affirm it”.. he lied.

They did not affirm it and they did deny it.
And If you think that truly he did not believe that Allah is a body, than why does he say that Allah sits “Yajlis” wal-^iyadhubillah in the references I mentioned and adds that “he seats Muhammad by him”? Ya lateef. This is explicit kufur, I ask Allah to protect us from such belief.

Imam Tahawiy said: “Whoever attributes Allah with the attributes of the creations, is a kafir”.

“Juloos” according to the Aracic language is assigned to anything that has a body. And the Qu’ran came according to the rules of the Arabic language.

Imam Abu Ja^far at-Tahawiyy, who was born in the year 237 after Hijrah SAID: “Allah is supremely clear of all boundaries, extremes, sides, organs and instruments. The six directions do not contain Him–these are attributed to all created things.”

No, an ignorant person is the one who denies before verifiying.
At least for yout it’s proven that Ibn taymiah lied by claiming that Sala did not deny “Jism” to Allah.

At most it’s not proven to you that he truly attributed “jism” to Allah.
But it’s your own problem. I told you that he claimed in his fatawa book (as i requoted) that “Allah sits on the throne and seats Muhammad by him”.

That is attributing the “jism” to Allah, and that’s Kufur, and that’s why he was imprisoned 4 times and died in Jail.

You are denying what you don’t know. And igonorance of something does not entail its non-existence.

Scholars who knew him and AFFIRMED WHAT HE SAID.

I gave you example of in the book of tafsir named called “an-Nahr”, the Grammarian Abu Hayyan al-'Andalusiyy reported about Ibn Taymiyah having the belief that Allah is a body (Wal-^iyathubillah). He said: In his handwriting, a book of Ahmad Ibn Taymiyah, who was contemporary with us, which he called “Kitab-ul-^Arsh”, I read: Allah sits on al-Kursiyy and has left a space for the Messenger of Allah to sit with Him. At-Taj Muhammad Ibn ^Aliyy Ibn ^Abd-il-Haqq al-Baranbariyy pretended that he is a promoter of his ideas and tricked him, until he took it from him; we read that in it. [The author of “Kashf-uz-Zunun” reported that about him also in Volume 2, page 1438.]
