Sinopsis

For various reasonsáthe West has not been able to appreciateáIbn TaymiyyahâÇÖsáplace in Islam. His criticism ofáAshâÇÖari Kalam, Greek logic and philosophy, monisticáSufism,áShiâÇÖiádoctrines, and Christian faith have proved great obstacles to appreciating his contribution. His way of writing has also been to an extent responsible.áMost of his writings are short or long responsa (fatawa) to particular questions, often recurring, put to him by different men at different times, rather than planned, systematic works on particular subjects. This makes the appreciation of his contribution somewhat difficult.Henri Laoust in France was the first to take serious notice of him. Since the publication of hisáEssay on the Social and Political Doctrines of Ibn Taymiyyahá(1939), a few articles and books have appeared on Ibn TaymiyyahâÇÖs thought, but they are far from giving any clear idea of his overall contribution to Islam, even less of assessing his role in its revival and renewal (tajdid). In fact, there has been little understanding of the concept ofátajdidáin Islam.áááThis volume consists ofáselections from various writings of Ibn Taymiyyaháincluded ináMajmuâÇÖ Fatawa Shaykh Al Islamá(37 volumes) as well as some of his major works such asáMinhaj as Sunnah An Nabawiyyah, Dar TaâÇÖarud al Aql wa-An Naql, kitab Ar Rad alaa Mantaqayyin, Al-Istiqamah, andáIqtida As Sirat Al Mustaqeem.áááThese selections will present aácleareráandácomplete viewáof Ibn TaymiyyahâÇÖs concept ofáIslamic faith, life and society. They are primarily intended to highlight his positive position and mention his criticisms and refutations of other positions only to the extent needed.
