About
Sheikh ul Islam Ibn Taymiyah
Shaykh al-Islam Taqi ud-Din
Abu'l-Abbas Ahmad Ibn al-Halim ibn Abd al-Salam Ibn Taymiyah al-Hanbali
was born in , 661 AH (1263 AC) in Haran, which is now in Eastern Turkey, near
the border of northern Iraq..
His family had long been renowned for its learning , among his teachers, was
Shams ud-Din Al-Maqdisi, first Hanbali Chief Justice of Syria following the
reform of the judiciary by Baibars. The number of Ibn Taimiyah's teachers
exceeds two hundred. Ibn Taimiyah was barely seventeen, when Qadi Al-Maqdisi
authorized him to issue Fatwa (legal verdict). Qadi remembered with pride that
it was he who had first permitted an intelligent and learned man like Ibn
Taimiyah to give Fatwa. At the same age, he started delivering lectures. When he
was thirty, he was offered the office of Chief Justice, but refused, as he could
not persuade himself to follow the limitations imposed by the authorities.
Imam Ibn Taimiyah's education was essentially that of a Hanbali theologian and
jurisconsult. But to his knowledge of early and classical Hanbalism, he added
not only that of the other schools of jurisprudence but also that of other
literature.
He had an extensive knowledge of Quran, Sunnah, Greek philosophy, Islamic
history, and religious books of others, as is evident from the variety of the
books he wrote. <More>

The Decisive Criterion between the Awliyaa of The Most Merciful and the Awliyaa
of Shaytaan Indeed the enmity between man and Shaytaan is old, commencing from
the time that Adam (alayhi as-salaam) was created, from the time he was ordered
to prostrate to him. Shaytaan refused, become arrogant and hence disobeyed his
Lord.
His arrogance and pride let him to commit a whole host of sins, it made
him expend every effort in misleading the children of Adam and made him beautify
and embellish sins such that they accepted them and eagerly committed them Due
to this Allah the exalted revealed the Books sent the Messenger and enjoined His servants to various injunctions and
admonitions in order to secure them from the evil of Shaytaan. In the light of
His advice, profound injunctions and admonitions in order to secure them from
the evil of Shaytaan. In the light of His advice, profound injunctions and sever
warnings, mankind becomes separated into two groups: a group who were guided and
a group who deserved to be misguided. The groups who were guided are the
inhabitants of Paradise and the groups who were misguided are the denizens of
the Fire. The inhabitants of Paradise are the Awliyaa of the Most Merciful and
the denizens of the Fire are the Awliyaa of Shaytaan.
'...And whoever takes Shaitân
(Satan) as an Ally instead of Allâh, has certainly sustained a clear
loss' TMQur'an: An-Nisa 4:119
'No doubt! Verily,
the Auliyâ' of Allâh no fear shall come upon them nor shall they grieve
, Those who believed , and used to fear Allâh much .For them are glad
tidings, in the life of the present world , and in the Hereafter. No
change can there be in the Words of Allâh, this is indeed the supreme success'
.TM Noble Qur'an: Yunus 62-64
