كتاب Tawhid and Trinity A Study of Ibn Taymiyyah’s al Jawab al sahih

Ibn Taymiyyah left a considerable body of work characterized by its rich documentation, sober style, and brilliant polemic. In addition to innumerable fatÉwÉ (legal opinions), two works have received special attention: Al-SiyÉsat al-shar ≤ iyyah (Treatise on Juridical Politics) and Minhaj al-sunnah (The Way of Tradition). However, his six volume study, Al-JawÉb al-ØaÍÊÍ li Man Baddala DÊn al- MasÊÍ (the apt answer to the one who changed the religion of the Christ) also deserves equal attention. Ibn Taymiyyah also wrote five other treatises in response to Christianity. 8 However, this study focuses mainly on the methodology and the arguments advanced in Al-JawÉb al-ØaÍÊÍ. The Contents and the Method Al-JÉwab al-ØaÍÊÍ contains rich information on Islam, Christianity, and such extinct Islamic sects which were attracted to Christianity. This work was written in 1320 on public demand and in response to a short treatise of 24 pages entitled “A Letter to a Muslim” by Paul of Antioch, the Melkite Bishop of Saida. 9 This treatise, written after due consultation with Church leaders, attempts to establish six points. They claim that: (1) Prophet MuÍammad (SAS) was not sent to mankind, but rather to the pagan Arabs; (2) Prophet MuÍammad (SAS) extolled Christianity as a religion; (3) previous religions and scriptures bear testimony to the truth and validity of their religion; (4) Christians are monotheists; (5) their belief concerning the trinity is demonstrable by rational argumentation; and (6) Christianity as a religion is perfected by Jesus who came after Moses and hence they are not in need of any new message or religion. In response, Ibn Taymiyyah wrote the six volumes published by DÉr al- ≤ ÓÎimah publication, Riyadh. The first volume analyzes the Christians’ claim that MuÍammad (SAS) was sent only to the Arabs of the JÉhiliyyah period and argues that Prophet MuÍammad (SAS) was sent as a messenger for all mankind. The second volume attempts to prove that the Christians distorted ( taÍrÊf ) their scriptures and altered ( tabdÊl ) the tenets of their beliefs. The third and fourth volumes are devoted to the question of trinity explaining the doctrinal origins of this belief, its theological position, and revelational as well as rational grounds upon which this belief is based. He argues that the doctrine of the trinity is an innovation unsubstantiated by R ESEARCH N OTES 93 any authoritative injunctions. In the fifth volume, Ibn Taymiyyah presents epistemological questions on the Trinitarian concept, particularly on the logical relationship between the intellectual ( ≤ aql ) knowledge and the knowledge obtained from the revealed tradition ( naql ). The final volume summarises the arguments and concludes by showing the superiority and necessity of Islam, which is a perfect combination of all that is good and just. The book teaches the Muslims and others how to think when studying Christianity. It presents both logical and scriptural arguments in its refutation of Christianity. In the introduction to the volume, Ibn Taymiyyah makes it clear that his intention is not to list the Christian sects and their historical background, but to analyse their theological positions and concepts of God, trinity, incarnation and other Christian beliefs. His main objective is to substantiate the distinction between the creator and his creations. Since God is the “Realm Ideal Being” which is totally other than the realm of actual being or creation, He is really the one and only Transcendent being. His assessments are based both on scriptural and theological analyses. Though Al-JawÉb al-ØaÍÊÍ is concerned with Christianity that has deviated from the original teachings of its Prophet, it also discusses some heretical practices among the Muslims. He sought to show that the Christians’ errors in “changing the religion of Christ” was also prevalent among Muslims of earlier generations as well as his contemporaries. Ibn Taymiyyah calls them hypocrites and the innovators. Hypocrites are those who outwardly profess faith in all the teachings of the Prophet (SAS), but secretly loath his message, like the renegades ( malÉÍidah ) and the Batinis. Renegades, according to Ibn Taymiyyah, are in greater error than the Christians, whereas the innovators are those who profess the generality of the message of the Prophet (SAS) but are confused about the true teaching of Islam. Unless Muslims re Written by Ismail Abdullah, which is an important message to explain to us the error in the doctrine of Trinitarian Trials of the Christians, and in turn highlights the doctrine of Tawheed, and this letter is based on the book of Sheikh Islam Ibn Taymiyah God's mercy, known as the correct answer for those who replaced the religion of Christ, A lot of evidence and mental arguments and the minority that prove the distortion of the Christian religion, and the error and the obvious contradiction in the religion of the current character .
