Abstract

Ibn Taymiyyah is one of the most influential Sunni scholars whose scope of influence of his thoughts is quite evident in the world today. He has written extensively and has expressed opinions contrary to the consensus of Islamic religions in his writings. For this reason, he was tried many times by Sunni scholars and sent to prison. And the great people of Hadith return. In examining the works and in analyzing the jurisprudential principles of Ibn Taymiyyah, it is clear that he deviated from the basic principles of Islam. It should be noted that the intellectual conflicts resulting from these deviations laid the necessary ground for contradictions and differences with other Islamic religions. . Ibn Taymiyyah's deviant thoughts also had a great impact on creating divisions among Muslims and paving the way for the formation of Wahhabism. He was met with a clear majority of scholars of other Islamic religions, and some scholars even ordered him to be excommunicated and expelled from the religion, to the point that he was imprisoned for some time because of his thoughts by the government of the time. He supported his student Ibn al-Qayyim, who after his death also made great efforts to compile the writings of his teacher.
