(Coloring) Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah — may Allah have mercy on him — (Series of scholars of the nation)

Taq al-Din Abu al-Abbas Ahmad bin Abdul Halim bin Abdul Salam al-Namiri al-Harani (decorative variations in attractive forms) known as Ibn Taymiyah. He is a jurist, hadith scholar, interpreter, and a diligent Muslim scholar from the scholars of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah. He is one of the most prominent Muslim scholars during the second half of the seventh century and the first third of the eighth AH. Ibn Taymiyah was born Hanbali in madhhab, so he took jurisprudence and its roots from his father and grandfather. He was also among the mujtahid imams in the madhhab, as he issued fatwas on many issues contrary to the established Hanbali position because he saw them as supported by evidence from the Book and Sunnah, then based on the opinions of the companions and the traces of the Salaf.
