The Mutakallimīn vs. the ʿĀrifīn?
There was a post that was spread around by ibn ʿArabī fanatics some time ago. They quoted an excerpt from ʿAbdullāh Sirāj al-Dīn’s book, which was a tribute to his father, Muḥammad Najīb Sirāj al-Dīn. It goes into his father’s manhaj.

The excerpt in that post was a copy-paste of the text from Pg.50 of the book (included above).
You can read it for yourself but to summarize:
ʿAbdullāh Sirāj al-Dīn claims that his father was very learned and well-read in ʿilm al-Tawḥīd, on both the methodology of the mutakallimīn and the ʿārifīn.
He says that his father had studied all the advanced works of kalām, such as al-Mawāqif, al-Maqāsid, and al-Ṭawāliʿ.
He also says that his father would read the works of al-Ghazālī and ibn ʿArabī, emphasizing the latter.
He then goes on to say that when the mutakallimīn and ʿārifīn disagreed on a matter, his father would side with the ʿārifīn, and then prove their position to be correct using adilla from the Qurʾān and Sunnah.
Akbarians would probably feel vindicated by that. However…

If we go to the next page, ʿAbdullāh Sirāj al-Dīn goes on to give an example of a masʾala where his father had (supposedly) sided with the ṣūfīs over the mutakallimīn:
If Allāh stopped sustaining creation, would creation freeze in place or return to complete non-existence?
The answer to the question above is rather obvious: Creation would return to total non-existence. And ʿAbdullāh Sirāj al-Dīn’s father agrees.
To my disappointment, however, he attributes this position solely to the ṣūfīs, and then misattributes the position of creation freezing in place to the mutakallimīn.
ʿAbdullāh Sirāj al-Dīn then proceeds to list the nuṣūṣ and āthār to support the position of creation returning to non-existence.
So, essentially, the preponderance given to the ʿārifīn was based on a mistake and a misattribution.

Take this as a reminder to actually verify information. If you see a quote or an excerpt, verify it directly from the source being cited (if it is even cited).
Accuracy and academic integrity is of little importance to cultists and fanatics.

For the sake of transparency and clarity:
- Ibn Taymiyyah is a mushrik kāfir murtad mulḥid zindīq.
- Salafīs are generally mubtadiʿah as a default, and a significant portion of them are kuffār.
- Salafism has been one of the most destructive movements in Islamic history.

Forwarded from The Fatwas of Allama Sheikh Nidal al-Hanafi
Umar ibn al-Khattab said:
Women are of three types:
The first: a soft, gentle, chaste Muslim woman, who is loving towards her husband and family and bears many children. She helps her family in times of difficulty and does not allow calamities to break her family. Such a woman is extremely rare.
The second: a chaste Muslim woman who only gives birth to children, but apart from that lacks any other qualities through which she could support her husband and family.
The third: hateful shackles, like a lousy yoke wrapped around the neck of her husband. Allah places such a woman upon whomsoever He wills, and none besides Him is able to rid him of her.
Ibn Abi Shaybah, Musannaf, 17147.

It’s so fitting that those who say Hell isn’t eternal will find out that it is eternal, in the worst way possible.
