This was not expected from you .

I never called Ibn Taymiyah a Devil. i just posted view of deoband.. but if you read the attachment "what do sholars say about Ibn Taymiya"

It clearly shows a balance view. You did not read the attachment , instead ......

salaam

Hi Re Paapi! (O my dear!)
I did not say that you called him devil.
But there are people who hate him intensely - you must have met them.
You see you have to try every ta'aweel for a bygone Muslim.
Some people do not do that for Imam Ibn-e-Taimiyya (RA) and they abuse him.
I was referring to those people.

I have to do some reading on him and in my mind I filed your attachment for that purpose.

Relax.

wassalam

The most balanced statements about Shaykhul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (RA) are from Allmah Anwar Shah Kashmiri (RA) who said:

Ibn Taymiyyah (RA) & his student Ibn Qayyim (RA) are Jibaal (mountains) of knowledge so high that when attempt to glance at their stature (and pedigree) in knowledge my Topi falls from my head. But if he was to come in here to discuss the Mas’ail of Istiwaa I won’t let him enter the Darul-uloom gates!”

Shaykh (Mufti) Taqi Usmani (HA) has devoted some paragraphs to Shaykhul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (RA) in Dars-e-Tirmidhi and concludes that according to us that his opinions on the attributes of Allah (SWT) are divergent from the opinions of the Salaf, nevertheless one can’t label him a heretic or throw him out of Ahlus-Sunnah Wal-Jamaah.

Recently, there has been a great influx of “Shami opinion” amongst the younger (British & SA Ulamah) and hence the frequent use of the term “Wahabi” and attempts to absolutely annihilate and try to demolish Shaykhul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (RA) are taking place. If you are even half a Deobandi then you are poles apart from most of these Shami Sufees and even Non-Sufees like Shaykh Ramadhan Al-Buti (HA). Take a good look at English writings of Deobandees even 5 years ago and you will notice little use of this term "Wahabi"...

No doubt that he was human thus obviously made errors but there have been plenty of Deobandi Ulamah and before them Pre-Deobandi Ulamah who called him “Shaykhul-Islam” and praised him and plenty who disagreed with him.
