the book:
Al-Furqan Bayna Awliya Al-Rahman Wa Awliya As-Shaytan
(The
Decisive Criterion between the Awliyaa of The Most Merciful and the Awliyaa of
Shaytaan) Indeed the enmity between man and Shaytaan is old, commencing from the
time that Adam (alayhi as-salaam) was created, from the time he was ordered to
prostrate to him. Shaytaan refused, become arrogant and hence disobeyed his
Lord.
His arrogance and pride let him to commit a whole host of sins, it made him
expend every effort in misleading the children of Adam and made him beautify and
embellish sins such that they accepted them and eagerly committed them Due to
this Allah the exalted revealed the Books sent the Messenger and enjoined His
servants to various injunctions and admonitions in order to secure them from the
evil of Shaytaan. In the light of His advice, profound injunctions and
admonitions in order to secure them from the evil of Shaytaan. In the light of
His advice, profound injunctions and sever warnings, mankind becomes separated
into two groups: a group who were guided and a group who deserved to be
misguided. The groups who were guided are the inhabitants of Paradise and the
groups who were misguided are the denizens of the Fire. The inhabitants of
Paradise are the Awliyaa of the Most Merciful and the denizens of the Fire are
the Awliyaa of Shaytaan.
'...And whoever takes Shaitân (Satan) as an Ally instead of Allâh, has
certainly sustained a clear loss' TMQur'an: An-Nisa 4:119
'No
doubt! Verily, the Auliyâ' of Allâh no fear shall come upon them nor
shall they grieve , Those who believed , and used to fear Allâh much .For
them are glad tidings, in the life of the present world , and in the
Hereafter. No change can there be in the Words of Allâh, this is indeed the
supreme success' .TM Noble Qur'an: Yunus 62-64
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.
