Ibn Taymiyyah said:

"As for identifying the doomed sects, the earliest figures we have received reports about who spoke of their deviation are Yusuf ibn Asbat, then ‘Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak—both of whom are esteemed imams among the most distinguished scholars of Islam.

1/5 They stated that the fundamental sources of innovation are four: the Rāfiḍah, the Khawārij, the Qadariyyah, and the Murjiʾah. It was then said to Ibn al-Mubarak, 'And what of the Jahmiyyah?' He responded, 'Those are not from the Ummah of Muhammad.'

Ibn al-Qayyim said about Ibn Taymiyyah:

He once told me, 'What can my enemies do to me? My paradise, and garden is in my heart; wherever I go, it goes with me and never leaves me. My imprisonment is solitude with Allah, my execution is martyrdom, and my exile is a journey.'

While imprisoned in the fortress, he used to say in his cell, 'If I were to spend the equivalence of this chamber in gold, it would not equal for me the gratitude of this blessing—or ‘I cannot reward them (my enemies) for the goodness which they were a cause for me to receive.’

Shaykh al-Islam said:

"The heart was created solely for the love of God Almighty, and this is the natural disposition upon which God created His servants, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: ‘Every child is born upon the natural disposition,

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyya's response to those who requested he refrain from discussing verses and hadiths regarding the divine attributes among the common people:

"As for who says, 'We ask him not to discuss the hadiths and verses on the attributes with common people,

nor to write about them to other regions or in the fatwas related to them,' implies the negation of the greatest fundamentals of religion and the foundations of monotheism. Among the greatest verses concerning the attributes is Ayat al-Kursi, which is the greatest verse

Shaykh al-Islam wrote on the Claim: [If Ontological Attributes Subsisted in God, He Would Depend on Them]:

"As for the statement: "If Ontological Attributes subsisted in Him, He would be dependent on them, and they would be dependent on Him; thus, the Lord would be in need

First: The claim that "If Ontological Attributes subsisted in Him, He would be dependent on them," implies the possibility of a substance [Jawhar] without attributes,

Shaykh Al-Islam may Allah have mercy on him said:

"The authentic collections of hadith, as well as the Sunan, and the Musnads, are replete with narrations concerning the divine attributes. In fact, specific chapters have been dedicated to this topic, such as

1/15 the "Book of Tawhid and Refutation of the Heretics and the Jahmiyyah," which is the concluding chapter of Sahih al-Bukhari, the "Refutation of the Jahmiyyah" in Sunan Abi Dawood. and the "Book of the Attributes" (Kitab al-Nu'ut), in Sunan an-Nasa'i.

Shaykh Al-Islam may Allah elevate his status said:

"It is evident both through observation and reason that there exist entities. It is also well-established that among these entities are those that have come into existence after previously not existing. For instance,

1/8 we know that we ourselves came into existence after a period of non-existence. Similarly, clouds, rain, plants, and animals are all phenomena that have arisen after not being, and other such signs that Allah, the Exalted, has highlighted in the verse:

Shaykh Al-Islam may Allah be pleased with him said:

"It is self-evident that anything coming into existence after non-existence must have a cause. This is an intuitive evident truth, known even to children; for if a child is struck by someone he did not see while unaware,

1/6 they will [instinctively] ask, "Who hit me?" If they were told that no one hit them, their mind would reject the notion that the strike happened without a cause, rather the child knows that anything that occurs must have a cause. If someone tells the child that a particular

Shaykh al-Islam was asked about the killing of Al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) and the ruling on his killer, he replied:

'..As for Al-Husayn: he and his brother are the leaders of the youth of Paradise, they are the fragrant flowers of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ

What I will present is argued by the philosophers as well as Ash'aris like Sa'eed Fudah in our time. First, we should know propositions can be opposed in 4 ways in Aristotelian logic:

1/25 1) Contradiction: Two propositions are contradictory if one being true implies the other is false, and vice versa. They cannot both be true and cannot both be false. it's between an existent and a nonexistent; a positive and a negative.

Example: "You exist" vs "you don't exist."

Some Quotes of scholars about Ibn sina:

1. Al-Dhahabi in Ibn Sina's biography in "Siyar A'lam al-Nubala," said: "...He has the book 'Al-Shifa' and other works that are intolerable. Al-Ghazali declared him a disbeliever in his book 'Al-Munqidh min al-Dalal,

Jesusﷺ was saved, as the psalms predicted:

Christians claim Jesus was led to his enemies to be hung on a cross, but he himself prayed to be saved from death and to not be delivered to them. keep in mind his prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, while reading the Psalms:

Shaykh Al-Islam said:

'Uttering the intention is a deficiency in both intellect and religion. In terms of religion, it is because it is an innovation (bid'ah). As for intellect, it is comparable to someone who, before eating, says: "I intend by placing my hand in this dish
