Ibn Taymiyyah (661–728 AH / 1263–1328 CE) was one of the most influential Islamic scholars in theology, jurisprudence, and creed. He belonged to the Hanbali school and was widely known for his strong emphasis on returning to the Qur’an and Sunnah.

He wrote extensively on Aqeedah, philosophy, and refutation of deviant beliefs, often engaging deeply with Greek philosophy and theological debates. His works, such as Majmu‘ al-Fatawa and Dar’ Ta‘arud al-‘Aql wa al-Naql, demonstrate his ability to combine rational arguments with scriptural evidence.
