al-Imam Ibnu Taymiyah wa Arauhu fi al-Qadaya al-’Aqaidiyyah
Abstract
Ibnu Taimiyyah is one of the famous Muslim Scholars in Islamic history. He was
also a theologian who supported the salafi movement. His kala>m thoughts are fascinating
to be analyzed. Therefore, this paper will discuss Ibn Taimiyyah’s thoughts relating to
several themes on kala>m in one sides: i>ma>n, tawh}i>d, Allah’s attributes, major sins, seeing
Allah, al-Qur’an as His Kala>m, and human actions in the world. From this simple
research it comes to conclusion that Ibn Taimiyyah agreed with Salafi scholars in the
classification of tawh}i>d which divided into three: Tawh}i>d Rubu>biyyah, Tawh}i>d
Ulu>hiyyah, Tawh}i>d Asma>’ wa S{ifa>t. On another side, the discussion will be in regards to
i>ma>n, Ibn Taimiyyah considered as i>ma>n connected to words and actions, sometimes may
increase while other times it may decrease; people who have comitted major sins, Ibn
Taimiyyah saw it as a matter of judgement solely up to Allah. This idea differs from that
of the Khawarij, Mu’tazilah, and Murji’ah. In matter of human actions of Ibn Taimiyyah,
a human cannot be forced or coerced (laysa bi majbu>r) and also cannot freely decide
independence from God, but there is the will of God within. This is different from the
Jabariyah and Qadariyah view. The next aspect of the discussion covers the ability or
chance to see Allah. According to Ibn Taimiyyah, every single Mu’min will see Allah in
the day of judgment which differs from the Rafidhah, Jahmiyah, and Mu’tazilah’s view.
Finally this paper will discuss the al-Qur’an as the kala>m of Allah and that the al-Qur’an
is not created by man.
