Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is it true that the books of the philosophers were translated during the time of 'Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan?
Answer:
No, no, far from it. This happened in the era of al-Ma'mun, in the era of the Abbasid al-Ma'mun. This did not occur during the Umayyad state; rather, it occurred during the Abbasid state in the time of al-Ma'mun, due to the Mu'tazilah, who had Ibn Abi Du'ad and al-Murri with them. Al-Ma'mun's companions were the ones who pushed him to translate the Roman books and to assert the createdness of the Qur'an. They led him astray, may Allah protect us from that. Yes.
