The truth of attributing the statement on the annihilation of the Fire to Ibn Taymiyyah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it authentic from Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn al-Qayyim that they stated in the transience of the Fire?
Answer:
O brothers, what do you want with these strange issues? You are occupying yourselves with them. I mean, they did not find anything but the issue that it is narrated from Ibn Taymiyyah that he says in the annihilation of the Fire. So, all his deeds, all his good deeds, all his jihad, and all his knowledge that he spread in the world are gone, except for this issue which they search for and they distort regarding Shaykh Taqi al-Din (may Allah have mercy on him). It is obligatory to leave these matters. This is a minor error, if it is authentic from him, it is a minor error. And it is sufficient for a person to be noble if his faults are counted. But these people want to distort the Shaykh and search for faults, and praise be to Allah, they did not find anything but this issue. Praise be to Allah, they did not find anything against him but this unique issue, and they go on nagging about it and making it ugly regarding Shaykh Taqi, and they do not see what they are upon of shirk (associating partners with Allah) and the worship of graves.
And what do they see of the denial of the attributes and the negation of the attributes? They see the speck in the eye of another and do not see the log in their own eyes. If the Shaykh said this issue, it is an error, may Allah forgive him.
And he has from the noble deeds and the precedence in calling to Allah and clarifying the truth what is hoped for him of forgiveness and mercy from Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Although it is not authentic from him, it is a context that comes in the context of his speech. Allah knows best whether he holds it or that he is presenting it from the perspective that the Shaykh, you know, is an encyclopedia; he presents the statements and presents the opinions, and Allah has given him a vast amount of knowledge and insight. He presents some opinions and some things, and it is not necessary from this that he holds them.
