A · غير محدد
So in his time, speech concerning
A · غير محدد
the Attributes of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, overwhelmed the Muslims, because of the spread of ʿIlm al-Kalām and the science of
A · غير محدد
logic, which many relied upon
A · غير محدد
from those who build their ʿAqīdahs upon its proofs and upon
A · غير محدد
its premises and its conclusions, and they call them the rational evidences, and they do not give importance
A · غير محدد
to the evidences of the Qurʾān and the Sunnah in the chapter of the Names and Attributes. They say: because they
A · غير محدد
do not benefit certainty, but rather
B · غير محدد
—I seek refuge with Allah— they benefit conjecture. As for the certain evidences, then they are the science of
A · غير محدد
Kalām and the proofs of logic, according to their claim. So great misguidance occurred, and there spread
A · غير محدد
the Madhhab of the Jahmiyyah and its derivatives.
A · غير محدد
So there occurred in this chapter a tremendous confusion, in the chapter of the Names
A · غير محدد
and Attributes. The Madhhab of the Jahmiyyah, the Muʿtazilah, the Ashāʿirah, and many of
A · غير محدد
the sects opposing the methodology of the Salaf spread, and this became the prevailing methodology
A · غير محدد
at that time. Just as the Qadariyyah spread, those who deny al-Qadar
A · غير محدد
or go to excess in affirming it,
A · غير محدد
and they are the Jabriyyah. And in Tawḥīd al-Ilāhiyyah, there spread—there spread
A · غير محدد
the grave-worshippers and the Ṣūfiyyah, and building over the graves
A · غير محدد
and the shrines. So the graves became idols wor-
A · غير محدد
shipped besides Allah; they are circumambulated,
A · غير محدد
and blessings are sought through them, and from the dead rescue is requested, and fulfillment of needs, and relief
A · غير محدد
the distresses, by dictation from the enemies of Islam, promotion from the enemies of Islam.
