The source of all evil is the deviation from the truth and its straight
path. The goodness of all matters is the following of truth and
adherence to its right way. Truth is the fixed state in which Allah has
created every creature in a particular way and managed its affair in a
certain manner. Allah is Perfect and exempt from any deficiency or
error. This book aims to elucidate the pillars of Emaan (basis of
belief, faith) and the characteristics of Kufr (disbelief) and its
causes.
Written to elucidate the pillars of Eemaan and the characteristic of Kufr and its causes.
To obtain the utmost benefit from this book, the book is divided into three parts.
Part One: The Basis of Eemaan.
Part Two: The Reality of Eemaan.
Part Three: The Invalidation of Eemaan.
This book is the translation of the Book
of Eman by Dr. Mohammed Naim Yasin, a renowned Islamic scholar and a
professor in the school of Sharia at the University of Jordan, based
on the classical works of Shaykh-ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyah
About Sheikh ul Islam Ibn Taymiyah
Shaykh al-Islam Taqi ud-Din Abu’l-Abbas Ahmad Ibn al-Halim ibn Abd
al-Salam Ibn Taymiyah al-Hanbali was born in , 661 AH (1263 AC) in
Haran, which is now in Eastern Turkey, near the border of northern
Iraq..
His family had long been renowned for its learning , among his teachers,
was Shams ud-Din Al-Maqdisi, first Hanbali Chief Justice of Syria
following the reform of the judiciary by Baibars. The number of Ibn
Taimiyah’s teachers exceeds two hundred. Ibn Taimiyah was barely
seventeen, when Qadi Al-Maqdisi authorized him to issue Fatwa (legal
verdict). Qadi remembered with pride that it was he who had first
permitted an intelligent and learned man like Ibn Taimiyah to give
Fatwa. At the same age, he started delivering lectures. When he was
thirty, he was offered the office of Chief Justice, but refused, as he
could not persuade himself to follow the limitations imposed by the
authorities.
Imam Ibn Taimiyah’s education was
essentially that of a Hanbali theologian and jurisconsult. But to his
knowledge of early and classical Hanbalism, he added not only that of
the other schools of jurisprudence but also that of other literature.
He had an extensive knowledge of Quran, Sunnah, Greek philosophy,
Islamic history, and religious books of others, as is evident from the
variety of the books he wrote.
‘YOU ARE
indeed the best community that has ever been brought forth for [the good
of] mankind: you enjoin the doing of what is right and forbid the doing
of what is wrong, and you believe in God. Now if the followers of
earlier revelation had attained to [this kind of] faith, it would have
been for their own good; [but only few] among them are believers, while
most of them are iniquitous:’Al-Imran (The Family of Imran 3:110)
