And for this reason you flatter them when you fight them, with gentleness and submission (that the spread of religious innovations is due to the translation of Greek books)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And for this reason you flatter them when you fight them, with gentleness and submission
And for this reason you are effeminate toward them; you did not open, nor did any eyes open for them from you"
Yes
This means that they are people who deny the divine attributes; when they engage with the people of atheism, they engage in a manner of flattery, as if they see themselves as unable to establish the argument against them. They also take from them and from their principles. This is why the spread of religious innovation, specifically the innovation of denying the divine attributes, occurred due to the translation of Greek books. As Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah stated in the Hama Fatwa, when the Greek and Roman books were translated during the reign of al-Ma'mun, religious innovations spread because they took from their principles and theories.
