And Ibn Sina came after this with another method, and he did not disdain disbelief (Explanation of Ibn Sina's Disbelief)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "A section on the method of Ibn Sina and his followers among the atheists in figurative interpretation"
We have previously mentioned the figurative interpretation employed by the people of innovation, such as the Jahmiyyah, the Mu'tazilah, and others, regarding the chapter of attributes. Similarly, those who interpreted the texts concerning the resurrection, claiming that the resurrection has no reality, and those who interpreted deeds, claiming that acts of worship have no reality and that the true reality is what exists with them, and that Islam has an outward and an inward aspect. As for Ibn Sina, he said:
"And Ibn Sina came after this with another method, and he did not disdain disbelief"
Ibn Sina is one of the Muslim philosophers who claims to belong to Islam and says that he is a Muslim, but we ask Allah to protect us from being like him. Ibn al-Qayyim and Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) explicitly stated that he is a disbeliever. It is true that he was a physician with knowledge of medicine, but from the perspective of creed, his creed is corrupt. Therefore, the author said: "He came with another method and did not disdain disbelief," meaning that he did not elevate himself above disbelief but rather fell into it.
