The Refutation of Him Who Attributes Direction to Allah

THE REFUTATION OF HIM [IBN TAYMIYYAH] WHO ATTRIBUTES DIRECTION TO ALLAH

The present volume is a special “all-Damascene” edition, which contains the very first (and definitive) English translation of Ibn Jahbal’s Arabic text; completed by an authorized, nay Damascus-trained and native scholar,

Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad, who possesses the complete and exclusively Dimashqi ijāza going back to the original Damascene author; and supple- mented by superb scholarly documentation and a running commentary.

The volume includes the Mugaddima of one of Damascuss senior living Hanafi jurists, Shaykh Wahbi Sulayman Ghawji, which presents an up-to-date explanation of figurative interpretation in Islamic theology.

The volume is also prefaced by another introduction, which catalogues the problematic positions of the redoubtable Ibn Taymiyya raised by scholars throughout the ages including his own students, regarding which a Dimashqi muhaddith recently quipped: “The mistakes of the great are the greatest mistakes.”
