IBN TAIMIYYAH THE REVIVER?
My attention was drawn towards this video. *sighs* Ya ilahi. This is the kind of things they say to their followers that make them consider Ibn Taimiyyah (IT) as a second Prophet favoring his views over sound narrations.

IT disagreed with his contemporaries on many issues which leads Salafis to Qiyas with what happened to Rasul.
I say: RasulaLlah recieved revelations, where did IT get his version of the truth from?
If everything was changed before IT came, then how did he "figure out" the truth?

IT had disagreed with 60+ scholarly consensus (Ijma') including consensus of the Sahaba.

In Minhajus Sunnah, IT dismissed the Hadith of Ruddatish Shams saying "scholars of Hadith know this a fabricated lie".
This Hadith was narrated by Imam Tahawy, Tabarani, Hakim, & al Bayhaqi. If these mountains confirm the hadith, then which "scholars of Hadith" was IT referring?

He does this a looooot! He says there is a concensus on issues that he very well knows there's none.
You also find him rejecting Nass by Qiyas. He did something like that on the Hadith of Mu'âkhât which was even related in the Sahihayn.

In Minhajus Sunnah, IT said the hadith of "man kuntu maulahu..." is maudhoo' by CONCENSUS of Scholars of Hadith.
The hadith was related by Ibn Hibban, Hakim, Tirmidhi, Nasa'e, Tabari, Abu Nu'aym, Ibn Hajar all categorized this hadith between Sahih and Hassan.
Which concensus?

Ibn Hajar commented on IT in Lisanul Mizan saying "how numerous the occasions in which we find IT undermining Sayyidina Ali just because he wants to refute the Rafidhis?"
The guts is real guys, IT once said Imam Ali (AS) MADE MISTAKES ON 17 OCCASIONS. Imam Ali fah

The list is in Durarul Kaaminah of Ibn Hajar al Asqalani.
IT said; Ali fought only for the sake of duniya, he implied that Ali wasn't a believer.
This is why Ibn Hajar concluded by saying "this is why SCHOLARS considered IT as a Hypocrite".

MIAW who came 500 yrs later was the one who brought his name back to the maps because his methodology suited his narrative.

Disclaimer: I believe IT was a scholar of towering repute.
In fact, when Shaykh Ibrahim Inyass visited Kano, he was asked about IT, he talked about his life & ended up saying
"ومات *رحمه الله* في...".
Imam Dhahabi praised him saying "I've never seen anyone like him".

Ibn Qayyim also spent his entire life praising him.
Shaykh Yusuf Nabahani who always trampled over IT, praised him due to his book "الصارم المسلول".
...amongst other Salafis, who even went to extent of Ghuluww in his praise by calling him a Prophet, etc.

My point is not to say he is not a scholar... I love and admire his intelligence at times, but in the issues where he alone opposed all scholars, he most likely is WRONG.
These Salafis will take Ibn Taimiyyah's position over Ahadith. This is unfortunate.

The funniest part is, Salafis take his word as proof, following his judgment against that of Sahabas until he says things like "Maulid is rewarded for" etc., which does not suit the Wahabi creed, then they reject even him saying they only follow the sunnah. IT followed what?
Some of His Inventions

4. Division of Tawhid (which is the basis for all Takfir)
5. Controversial fatwa to kill.

The Sunnah you're following as a Salafi is that of MIAH and at best, the mistakes of IT.
Untop of this, IT although deviant, was still Sufi.
The only thing he revived was ikhtilaf and extremism.
This is not the end.
