"Views of Ibn Taymiyya"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''views of Ibn Taymiyya''' made him a polarizing figure in his own times and centuries that followed.",
"He is known for fierce religious polemics attacking various schools of speculative theology, primarily Ash'arism and Maturidism, while defending the doctrines of Atharism.",
"This made him a contentious figure with many rulers and scholars of the time, and was imprisoned several times as a result.Today, Ibn Taymiyya's numerous treatises advocating for ''al-salafiyya al-iʿtiqādiyya'' (creedal Salafism), based on his scholarly interpretations of the Quran and prophetic way, constitute the most popular classical reference for contemporary Salafi movements."
],
[
"Epistemology",
"=== Sources of Sharīʿa ===Of the four fundamental sources of the sharia accepted by thirteenth century Sunni jurists, 1.Qur'an, 2.Sunnah, 3.Consensus of jurists (ijma), 4.Qiyas (analogical reasoning), Ibn Taymiyya opposed the use of consensus of jurists, replacing it with the consensus of the \"companions\" (''sahaba'').Like all Islamic jurists Ibn Taymiyya believed in a hierarchy sources for the Sharia.",
"Most important was the Quran, and the Sunnah or any other source could not abrogate a verse of the Qur'an.",
"(For him, an abrogation of a verse, known in Arabic as ''Naskh'', was only possible through another verse in the Qur'an.)",
"Next was Sunnah which other sources (besides the Qur'an) must not contradict.==== Consensus (''ijmaʾ'') ====Concerning consensus (''ijma''), he believed that consensus of any Muslims other than that of the companions of Muhammad could not be \"realistically verifiable\" and so was speculative, and thus not a legitimate source of Islamic law (except in certain circumstances).",
"The consensus (''ijma'') used must be that of the companions found in their reported sayings or actions.",
"According one supporter, Serajul Haque, his rejection of the consensus of other scholars was justified, on the basis of the instructions given to the jurist Shuraih ibn al-Hârith from the Caliph Umar, one of the companions of Muhammad; to make decisions by first referring to the Qur'an, and if that is not possible, then to the sayings of Muhammad and finally to refer to the agreement of the companions like himself.An example of Ibn Taymiyya use of his interpretation was in defense of the (temporary) closing of all Christian churches in 1299 in the Mamluk Sultanate during hostility against crusader states.",
"The closing was in violation of a 600-year-old covenant with Christian ''dhimmis'' known as the Pact of Umar.",
"But as Ibn Taymiyya pointed out, while venerable, the pact was written 60 years or so after the time of the companions and so had no legal effect.==== Analogy (''qiyās'') ====Ibn Taymiyya considered the use of analogy (''qiyas'') based on literal meaning of scripture as a valid source for deriving legal rulings.",
"Analogy is the primary instrument of legal rationalism in Islam.",
"He acknowledged its use as one of the four fundamental principles of Islamic jurisprudence.",
"Ibn Taymiyya argued against the certainty of syllogistic arguments and in favour of analogy.",
"He argues that concepts founded on induction are themselves not certain but only probable, and thus a syllogism based on such concepts is no more certain than an argument based on analogy.",
"He further claimed that induction itself depends on a process of analogy.",
"His model of analogical reasoning was based on that of juridical arguments.",
"Works by American computer scientists like John F. Sowa have, for example, have used Ibn Taymiyya's model of analogy.",
"He attached caveats however to the use of analogy because he considered the use of reason to be secondary to the use of revelation.",
"Ibn Taymiyya's view was that analogy should be used under the framework of revelation, as a supporting source.There were some jurists who thought rulings derived through analogy could contradict a ruling derived from the Qur'an and the authentic hadith.",
"However, Ibn Taymiyya disagreed because he thought a contradiction between the definitive canonical texts of Islam, and definitive reason was impossible and that this was also the understanding of the ''Salaf''.",
"Racha el-Omari says that on an epistemological level, Ibn Taymiyya considered the ''Salaf'' to be better than any other later scholars in understanding the agreement between revelation and reason.",
"One example for this is the use of analogy in the Islamic legal principle of ''maslaha'' (public good) about which Ibn Taymiyya believed, if there were to be any contradiction to revelation then it is due to a misunderstanding or misapplication of the concept of utility.",
"He said that to assess the utility of something, the criteria for benefit and harm should come from the Qur'an and sunnah, a criterion which he also applied to the establishment of a correct analogy.An example of Ibn Taymiyya's use of analogy was in a fatwa forbidding the use of hashish on the grounds that it was analogous to wine, and users should be given 80 lashes in punishment.",
"\"Anyone who disagreed was an apostate, he added, whose corpse ought not to be washed or given a decent burial.",
"\"=== Reason (ʿ''Aql'') ===Darʾ taʿāruḍ al-ʿaql wa-l-naql'' (Refutation of the contradiction of reason and tradition), a polemical refutation of Ash'arite theologian Al-Razi (d. 606/1210)Issues surrounding the use of reason ('''Aql'') and rational came about in relation to the attributes of God for which he faced much resistance.",
"At the time, Ashari and Maturidi theologians thought the literal attributes of God as stated in the Qur'an were contradictory to reason so sought to interpret them metaphorically.",
"Ibn Taymiyya believed that reason itself validated the entire Qur'an as being reliable and in light of that he argued, if some part of the scripture was to be rejected then this would render the use of reason as an unacceptable avenue through which to seek knowledge.",
"He thought that the most perfect rational method and use of reason was contained within the Qur'an and sunnah and that the theologians of his time had used rational and reason in a flawed manner.Condemning formal logic as \"laughable and boring\", Ibn Taymiyya writes: \"The validity of the form of the syllogism is irrefutable, but it does not lead to knowledge of things in the external world...",
"Even if the syllogism yields certitude, it cannot alone lead to certainty about things existing in the external world...",
"It must be maintained that the numerous figures they have elaborated and the conditions they have stipulated for their validity are useless, tedious, and prolix.",
"These resemble the flesh of a camel found of the summit of a mountain, the mountain is not easy to climb, nor the flesh plump enough to make it worth the hauling\"=== Ikhtilaf ===Even though jurists may err in their ''fatwas''; Ibn Taymiyya asserted that they should never be deterred from pursuing ''ijtihād''.",
"His outlook which was incompatible with a stagnated juristic system; propelled Ibn Taymiyya to advance legal pluralism; that defended the freedom of multiple juristic interpretations.",
"According to Ibn Taymiyya, on legal issues which are subject to ''Ikhtilaf'' (scholarly disagreement); every Muslim is allowed to formulate and express his own opinion:"
],
[
"Theology",
"=== God's attributes === Last page of a manuscript of ''Al-Risala al-Tadmuriyyah'' (The Palmyran Message) by Ibn Taymiyya, an Athari creedal epistle that advocated Qur'anic literalism on the subject of names and attributes of GodIbn Taymiyya said that God should be described as he has described himself in the Qur'an and the way Muhammad has described God in the Hadith.",
"He rejected the Ta'tili's who denied these attributes, those who compare God with the creation (Tashbih) and those who engage in esoteric interpretations (ta'wil) of the Qur'an or use symbolic exegesis.",
"Ibn Taymiyya said that those attributes which we know about from the two above mentioned sources, should be ascribed to God.",
"Anything regarding God's attributes which people have no knowledge of, should be approached in a manner, according to Ibn Taymiyya, where the mystery of the unknown is left to God (called tafwid) and the Muslims submit themselves to the word of God and the prophet (called taslim).",
"Henri Laoust says that through this framework, this doctrine, \"provides authority for the widest possible scope in personal internationalization of religion.",
"\"In 1299, Ibn Taymiyya wrote the book ''Al-Aqida al-hamawiyya al-kubra'', which dealt with, among other topics, theology and creed.",
"When he was accused of anthropomorphism, a private meeting was held between scholars in the house of Al-Din `Umar al-Kazwini who was a Shafii judge.",
"After careful study of this book, he was cleared of those charges.",
"Ibn Taymiyya also wrote another book dealing with the attributes of God called, ''Al-Aqidah Al-Waasitiyyah''.",
"He faced considerable hostility towards these views from the Ash'ari's of whom the most notable were, Taqi al-Din al-Subki and his son Taj al-Din al-Subki who were influential Islamic jurists and also chief judge of Damascus in their respective times.Ibn Taymiyya's highly intellectual discourse at explaining \"The Wise Purpose of God, Human Agency, and the Problems of Evil & Justice\" using God's Attributes as a means has been illustrated by Dr. Jon Hoover in his work ''Ibn Taymiyya's Theodicy of Perpetual Optimism''.",
"Ibn Taymiyya regarded ''Tawhid al-Asma wa Sifat'' ('monotheism of God's Names and Attributes') as the third aspect of ''Tawhid'' and as part of ''Tawhid al-Uluhiyya'' (monotheism of Worship).",
"According to Ibn Taymiyya, God must be worshipped by His Own Names and Attributes – by which He described himself in the ''Qur’ān'' and ''Hadith'' – and to do otherwise would be to commit ''shirk'' (polytheism) by associating God with improper ideas.=== Duration of Hellfire ===Ibn Taymiyya held the belief that Hell was not eternal even for unbelievers.",
"According to Ibn Taymiyya, Hell is therapeutic and reformative, and God's wise purpose in chastising unbelievers is to make them fit to leave the Fire.",
"This view contradicted the mainstream Sunni doctrine of eternal hell-fire for unbelievers.",
"Ibn Taymiyya was criticised for holding this view by the chief Shafi'i scholar Taqi al-Din al-Subki who presented a large body of Qur'anic evidence to argue that unbelievers will abide in hell-fire eternally.Ibn Taymiyya was partially supported in his view by the Zaydi Shi'ite Ibn al-Wazir."
],
[
"Acts of worship",
"=== Prayer (''Duʿāʾ'') ===Prophetic hadiths on daily Islamic supplications recommended in the SunnahIbn Taymiyya issued a ''fatwa'' deeming it acceptable to perform dua in languages other than Arabic:It is permissible to make du'aa' in Arabic and in languages other than Arabic.",
"Allaah knows the intention of the supplicant and what he wants, no matter what language he speaks, because He hears all the voices in all different languages, asking for all kinds of needs.This view was also shared by an earlier theologian and jurist, Abu Hanifa."
],
[
"Jurisprudence",
"=== Interest (''Rįbā'') ===Ibn Taymiyya held the view that the lender of a loan is allowed to recover the original, inflation adjusted value.",
"Ahmad ibn Hanbal, the eponym of the Hanbali madh'hab believed that only the practice of 'pay or increase' – which extended delay to debtors in exchange for rise in the principal – as the only form of ''riba'' (i.e., ''Riba al-Jahiliyya'') that was definitively and conclusively prohibited in ''Shari'ah'' (Islamic law).",
"Ibn Qudama, another notable Hanbali jurist that preceded Ibn Taymiyya; opined that debtors who took loans involving unweighable, immeasurable objects should give back the original value to the creditors.",
"This provided a basis for the argument that a creditor is allowed to \"recover a sum equivalent to the amount by which the original principal lent has depreciated in real terms during the period of the loan\".",
"Building on Ibn Qudama's specific argument on unweighable objects, Ibn Taymiyya would argue for a more general view.",
"He stipulated that the lender should be able to recover the original, inflation-adjusted value; reasoning that lenders unable to recover for losses from inflation would be far less inclined to grant future loans.",
"In Ibn Taymiyya's view, such a lender was not involved in ''riba'', since he has not made any actual profit out of the transaction.Ibn Taymiyya held that the term ''riba'' also included all types of interest resulting from late payment (''riba al-nasi'ah'') or due to unequal exchange of the same commodity (''riba al-fadl'').",
"''Riba'' thus covers some cases of barter which involve exchanges unequal by way of quantity or time of delivery.=== Jihad ===Ibn Taymiyya was noted for his emphasis on the importance of jihad and for the \"careful and lengthy attention\" he gave \"to the questions of martyrdom\" in jihad, such as benefits and blessings to be had for martyrs in the afterlife.",
"Alongside his disciple Ibn Kathir, Ibn Taymiyya is widely regarded as one of the most influential classical theoreticians of armed Jihad.",
"Ibn Taymiyya believed that martyrdom in Jihad grants eternal rewards and blessings.",
"He wrote that, \"It is in jihad that one can live and die in ultimate happiness, both in this world and in the Hereafter.",
"Abandoning it means losing entirely or partially both kinds of happiness.",
"\"He defined jihad as:It comprehends all sorts of worship, whether inward or outward, including love for Allah, being sincere to Him, relying on Him, relinquishing one's soul and property for His sake, being patient and austere, and keeping remembrance of Almighty Allah.",
"It includes what is done by physical power, what is done by the heart, what is done by the tongue through calling to the way of Allah by means of authoritative proofs and providing opinions, and what is done through management, industry, and wealth.He gave a broad definition of what constituted \"aggression\" against Muslims and what actions by non-believers made jihad against them permissible.",
"He declaredIt is allowed to fight people for (not observing) unambiguous and generally recognized obligations and prohibitions, until they undertake to perform the explicitly prescribed prayers, to pay zakat, to fast during the month of Ramadan, to make the pilgrimage to Mecca and to avoid what is prohibited, such as marrying women in spite of legal impediments, eating impure things, acting unlawfully against the lives and properties of Muslims and the like.",
"It is obligatory to take the initiative in fighting those people, as soon as the prophet's summons with the reasons for which they are fought has reached them.",
"But if they first attack the Muslims then fighting them is even more urgent, as we have mentioned when dealing with the fighting against rebellious and aggressive bandits.In the modern context, his rulings have been used by some Islamist groups to declare jihad against various governments.=== On Martyrdom Operations (''Inghimas'') ===Ibn Taymiyya was a major proponent of a form of Martyrdom operations during Jihad known as ''inghimas'' (plunging into the enemy).",
"Although suicide is considered sinful in traditional Islamic law, Ibn Taymiyya distinguished between ''inghimas'' and suicide, asserting that the former is Martyrdom.",
"Ibn Taymiyya sanctioned the act of plunging into the armies of non-Muslims even if the Muslim fighter or fighters are certain that they will be killed; as long as it benefited Islam for the purpose of Jihad.",
"Ibn Taymiyya argued that ''inghimas'' were sanctioned in three battlefield scenarios:* When a Muslim soldier charges individually into a large army of non-Muslims in such a way that he gets overwhelmed by them* When a Muslim soldier undertakes a mission to assassinate the commander of disbelievers, even if it is certain that he may get killed* When a Muslim soldier remains to fight the enemy armies alone, even after retreat and defeatIbn Taymiyya praised ''inghimas'' as a part of the religious command to wage Jihad and attain ''Shuhada'' (martyrdom) in battlefield.",
"Furthermore, he asserted that the practice was mainstream during the era of Muhammad and the companions.",
"In support of his stances, Ibn Taymiyya refers to the Qurʾānic story of the People of the Ditch; writing \"In the story of the Companions of the Pit the young boy is ordered to get himself killed to manifest religion's splendor.",
"For this reason the four imams have permitted a Muslim to plunge into the ranks of the unbelievers, even if he thinks they will kill him, on condition that this act is in the interest of Muslims.",
"\"Apart from ''Inghimasi'', Ibn Taymiyya also issued legal verdicts sanctioning the killing of Muslim civilians who are employed as \"human shields\" by the enemy armies, a tactic frequently used by the Mongols, but only if the Muslim army had no other choice.",
"In Ibn Taymiyya's view, Muslims killed in such operations are to be honoured as ''shuhada'' (martyrs) and such tactics are justifiable since the benefits exceed its detriments.",
"In the modern-era, various Jihadist ideologues have exploited Ibn Taymiyya's ''fatwas'' for ''inghimasi'' operations to justify Suicide Bombings as martyrdom.",
"In retaliation to the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy, Al-Qaeda conducted the 2008 Danish Embassy suicide bombing in Islamabad, based on Ibn Taymiyya's works.",
"Directly quoting from Ibn Taymiyya's extracts, Islamic State (IS) would launch large-scale ''inghimasi'' operations as a novel terror tactic of suicide bombings during its 2014 insurgency across Iraq and Syria.",
"Scholars like Rebecca Molfoy have disputed this view, asserting that Ibn Taymiyya did not legalise mass-murder of non-combatants, but sanctioned ''inghimasi'' only in battlefield, when outnumbered and when it was beneficial to Islam.",
"According to Molfoy, unlike suicide bombings which necessitate taking one's own life, Ibn Taymiyya held that it was possible to come out alive after ''Inghimasi'' operations, even while glorifying martyrdom.=== Innovation (Bidʿah) ===Even though Ibn Taymiyya has been called a theologian, he claimed to reject ʿ''Ilm al-Kalam'', known as Islamic theology, as well as some aspects of Sufism and Peripatetic philosophy, as an innovation (''Bid'ah'').",
"Despite this, Ibn Taymiyya's works contained numerous arguments that openly refer to rational arguments (kalam) for their validity and therefore he is included by some scholars as amongst the Mutakallimin.On the other hand, Ibn Taymiyya has also been regarded by various scholars as \"a literalist and reactionary\" and as the \"thirteenth-century scourge of reason\", who saw it as his mission to purify Islam of all inauthentic outgrowths and return to the purity of Muhammad's time.",
"Islam, in the eyes of Ibn Taymiyya, was to adhere strictly to the ''Qur’an'', ''Hadith'', and the practices and interpretations of the ''salaf'' – a view Ibn Taymiyya called ''madhhab al-salaf'' or ‘the doctrine of the predecessors’.",
"Any idea not found in these fundamental sources was ''bid‘a'', reprehensible innovations to pristine Islam.",
"He engaged in fierce debates against Ash'arite scholars and denounced the rationalist Qur'anic commentary of Ash'arite theologian Fakhr al-Din al-Razi, as a heresy that altered the meaning of Scriptures.",
"According to Ibn Taymiyya, philosophically minded Ash‘ari theologians like Al-Razi were \"innovators who prefer the pseudo -philosophical approach of recent ages\", rather than the approach of the Salaf.Ibn Taymiyya opposed giving any undue religious honors to mosques (even that of Jerusalem, the Masjid Al-Aqsa), to approach or rival in any way the Islamic sanctity of the two most holy mosques within Islam, Masjid al-Haram (in Mecca) and Al-Masjid al-Nabawi (in Madina).",
"As for the practice of making journey for the sole purpose of visiting a mosque, Ibn Taymiyya stated in his books; ''Majmuʿat al-Rasaʾil al-Kubra'', ''Minhaj al-Sunna'' and ''Majmuʿat Fatawa'', that, \"Journey must not be made except to three mosques; Masjid al-Haram, Masjid al-Nabawi and Masjid Al-Aqsa\".",
"Regarding this Serajul Haque says that, \"In the opinion of Ibn Taymiyya only these three mosques have been accepted by the Prophet as the object of journeys, on account of their excellence over all other mosques and places of prayer.",
"Ibn Taymiyya uses a saying (hadith) of the Islamic prophet Muhammad in Bukhari and Muslim to justify his view that it is not permitted to journey exclusively to any mosque other than the sacred mosques in Mecca, Medina, or Jerusalem."

"Criticism of the grammarians",
"Ibn Taymiyya had mastered the grammar of Arabic and one of the books which he studied was the book of Arabic grammar called Al-Kitab, by Sibawayh.",
"In later life he met the Quranic exegete and grammarian Abu Hayyan al-Gharnati to whom he expressed that, \"Sibawayh was not the prophet of syntax, nor was he infallible.",
"He committed eighty mistakes in his book which are not intelligible to you.\"",
"Ibn Taymiyya is thought to have severely criticized Sibawayh but the actual substance of those criticisms is not known because the book within which he wrote the criticisms, ''al-Bahr'', has been lost.",
"He stated that when there is an explanation of an Ayah of the Qur'an or a Hadith, from the prophet himself, the use of philology or a grammatical explanation becomes obsolete.",
"He also said one should refer only to the understanding of the Salaf (first three generations of Muslims) when interpreting a word within the scriptural sources.",
"However he did not discount the contributions of the grammarians completely.",
"Ibn Taymiyya stated that the Arabic nouns within the scriptural sources have been divided by the fuqaha (Islamic jurists) into three categories; those that are defined by the shari'a, those defined by philology (lugha) and finally those that are defined by social custom (`urf).",
"For him each of these categories of nouns had to be used in their own appropriate manner.=== Islamic law and policy ===Ibn Taymiyya believed that Islamic policy and management was based on , and that the goal of ''al-siyasa'' (politics, the political) should be to protect ''al-din'' (religion) and to manage ''al-dunya'' (worldly life and affairs).",
"Religion and the State should be inextricably linked, in his view, as the state was indispensable in providing justice to the people, enforcing Islamic law by enjoining good and forbidding evil, unifying the people and preparing a society conducive to the worship of God.",
"He believed that \"enjoining good and forbidding wrong\" was the duty of every state functionary with charge over other Muslims, from the caliph to \"the schoolmaster in charge of assessing children's handwriting exercises.\"",
"Apart from his theological discourse that centered around Divine Attributes and God's Nature, Ibn Taymiyya also expanded ''Tawhid'' (Islamic montheism) doctrine to stress the significance of socio-political affairs.",
"Ibn Taymiyya believed that monotheism in Islam affirmed God as the \"sole creator, ruler, and judge of the world\" and hence; Muslims are duty-bound to submit to Divine Commandments as revealed through ''Sharia'' (Islamic law) through both private and collective enforcement of religious rituals and morality.Ibn Taymiyya supported giving broad powers to the state.",
"In ''Al-siyasa al-Sharʿiyah'', he focused on duties of individuals and punishments rather than rules and procedural limits of authorities.",
"Suspected highway robbers who would not reveal their accomplices or the location of their loot, for example should be held in detention and lashed for indefinite periods.",
"He also allowed the lashing of imprisoned debtors, and \"trials of suspicion\" (''daʿsawī al-tuḥam'') where defendants could be convicted without witnesses or documentary proof.Henri Laoust said that Ibn Taymiyya never propagated the idea of a single caliphate but believed the Muslim ummah or community would form into a confederation of states.",
"Laoust further stated that Ibn Taymiyya called for obedience only to God, and the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and he did not put a limit on the number of leaders a Muslim community could have.",
"However Mona Hassan, in her recent study of the political thoughts of Ibn Taymiyya, questions this and says Laoust has wrongly claimed that Ibn Taymiyya thought of the caliphate as a redundant idea.",
"Hassan has shown that Ibn Taymiyya considered the Caliphate that was under the Rashidun Caliphs; Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali, as the moral and legal ideal.",
"The Caliphate in his view could not be ceded in favour of secular kingship (mulk)."

"The Muslim world",
"=== Maddhabs ===Ibn Taymiyya censured the scholars for blindly conforming (''taqlid'') to the precedence of early jurists without any resort to the ''Qur'an'' and ''Sunnah''.",
"He contended that although juridical precedence has its place, blindly giving it authority without contextualization, sensitivity to societal changes, and evaluative mindset in light of the ''Qur'an'' and ''Sunnah'' can lead to ignorance and stagnancy in Islamic Law.",
"Ibn Taymiyya likened the extremism of ''taqlid'' (blind conformity to juridical precedence or school of thought) to the practice of Jews and Christians who took their rabbis and ecclesiastics as gods besides God.",
"In arguing against ''taqlid'', he stated that the ''Salaf,'' who to better understand and live according to the commands of God, had to make ''ijtihad'' using the scriptural sources.",
"The same approach, in his view, was needed in modern times.",
"Ibn Taymiyya considered his attachment to the Ḥanbalī school as a scholarly choice based on his ''ijtihad'' (independent legal reasoning), rather than on imitation (''taqlīd'').",
"Based on the principles and legal methodology of Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Ibn Taymiyya issued fatwas as per scriptural evidence, rather than juristic opinion (''ra'y'').",
"He insisted that the dominant opinion of Hanbali school transmitted through Ahmad's reports is not necessarily the correct view in ''sharia'' and often critiqued the rulings of prominent Hanbali ''Fuqaha''.Ibn Taymiyya believed that the best role models for Islamic life were the first three generations of Islam (''Salaf''); which constitute Muhammad's companions, referred to in Arabic as Sahaba (first generation), followed by the generation of Muslims born after the death of Muhammad known as the Tabi'un (second generation) which is then followed lastly by the next generation after the Tabi'un known as Tabi' al-Tabi'in (third generation).",
"Ibn Taymiyya gave precedence to the ideas of the Sahaba and early generations, over the founders of the Islamic schools of jurisprudence.",
"For Ibn Taymiyya it was the ''Qur'an'', the sayings and practices of Muhammad and the ideas of the early generations of Muslims that constituted the best understanding of Islam.",
"Any deviation from their practice was viewed as ''bid'ah'', or innovation, and to be forbidden.",
"He also praised and wrote a commentary on some speeches of Abdul-Qadir Gilani.Ibn Taymiyya asserted that every individual is permitted to employ ''ijtihad'' partially as per his potential; despite the fact that scholars, jurists, etc.",
"had superior knowledge and understanding of the law than the laity.",
"Ibn Taymiyya writes:Conscious of the limitations of the human mind, Ibn Taymiyya does not reject ''taqlid'' completely; since most people are not capable to be a legal expert who can derive law from its sources.",
"Ibn Taymiyya asserted throughout his legal writings that \"God does not burden men with more than they are capable of undertaking.\"",
"Even ''Fuqaha'' are allowed to attach themselves to a ''mad'hab'' (law school) so long as they prefer the evidences.",
"However, Ibn Taymiyya denounced all manifestations of ''Madh'hab'' fanaticism and was careful to emphasize that school affiliations are not obligatory.",
"He argued that opinions of any jurist, including the school founders were not proofs, and decried the prevalent legal approach; wherein the ''Fuqaha'' confined themselves to the opinions within their legal school without seeking the Scriptures.",
"Consequently, Ibn Taymiyya stripped Sunni legal conformism of any definitive, static religious authority.",
"In his treatise \"''Removal of Blame from the Great Imams''\", Ibn Taymiyya explained the reasons for difference of opinions between jurists of various schools of law and justified the necessity for tolerance between the scholars of the ''madh'habs'' and their eponyms; reminding that every ''mujtahid'' is rewarded twice if his ''ijtihad'' is correct and rewarded once if his ''ijtihad'' is faulty.",
"Hence, a jurist acting in good faith should not incur blame for reaching the wrong conclusions.",
"Thus, the Islamic scholarly system championed by Ibn Taymiyya subjected all Islamic jurists just to the authority of the revealed texts and not to the views of ''madh'habs'', or jurists or any similar affiliations.",
"Thus, Ibn Taymiyya envisioned a world in which individuals stand before the Divine revelation, with the intellectual freedom to discern the universal rulings of God's law to the best of their abilities.=== Mutakallimun ===The mutakallimun are scholars who engage in ilm al-Kalam (speculative theology) and they were criticised by Ibn Taymiyya for their use of rationalist theology and philosophy.",
"Ibn Taymiyya was heavily hostile to ''Kalam'' and believed it to be amongst the most severe religious innovations that emerged after the first three generations.",
"He asserted that the method of ''kalam'' was used by the Mu`tazilites, Jahmites and Ash`ari's.",
"Ibn Taymiyya considered the use of philosophical proofs and kalam to be redundant because he saw the Qur'an and the Sunna as superior rational proofs.",
"Ibn Taymiyya argued that these explanations were not grounded in scriptural evidence such as the philosophical explanation of the divine attributes of God or the proof of God using the cosmological argument.",
"He said that the call to Islam was not made using such methods by the Qur'an or Muhammad and that these theories have only caused errors and corruption.",
"The mutakallimun called their use of rationalist theology \"Usul al-Din\" ''(principles of religion)'' but Ibn Taymiyya said that the use of rationalist theology has nothing to do with the true usul al-din which comes from God and to state otherwise is to say that Muhammad neglected an important aspect of Islam.",
"Ibn Taymiyya says that the ''usul al-din'' of the mutakallimun, deserve to be named ''usul din al-shaytan'' (principles of Satanic religion).Ibn Taymiyya condemned many aspects of the evolving jurisprudential sciences as \"educated conjectures\"; particularly the impact of ''Kalam'' theology on '''ilm al-Ikhtilaf'' (science of scholarly differences) as well as on ''Usul al-Fiqh'' (principles of jurisprudence).",
"For Ibn Taymiyya, ''Shari'a'' (Islamic law) is characterised by certainty and stability.",
"In cases of absence of clear Scriptural texts; ''Ijtihad'' is to be exercised based on Scriptures rather than ''Taqlid'' (blind following) to past juristic opinions.",
"Ibn Taymiyya attributed the flood of numerous juristic opinions, prevalence of controversial views and their resultant instability on the approach of speculative theologians who regarded ''Fiqh'' (jurisprudence) as a science of \"conjectures\".",
"Blaming the jurists of speculative principles, especially those of the Hanafite school for the decline of ''Fiqh'' sciences; Ibn Taymiyya writes:\"they do not provide for God any definite rule.",
"In fact, they go so far as making a category of distinctions between a master-jurist (''mujtahid'') who is correct and one who is wrong.",
"Rather the legal rule (''hukm'') for every person is whatever his intellectual exertion leads him to... the theologians excluded positive law (''fiqh''), which all the religious sciences, from the discourse of science itself; on the basis of what they observed in terms of following authority (taqlid) and conjectural propositions.. jurists who rely on sharia texts (''ahl al-nusus'') instead of speculation are far move capable of giving correct juridicial responses and are more beneficial to Muslims than the people of opinion (''Ahl al-Ra'y'') .",

"This is because to solve real-life activities, Muslims need to know the source texts (''nusus'')\"Ibn Taymiyya was a major proponent of the doctrines of the early generations (''Salaf al-Salih''), which he held to be pristine Islam and advocated the re-generation of their beliefs and practices.",
"He was a zealous opponent of Ash'arite ''Kalam'', condemning it as a philosophical outgrowth that corrupted the purity of early Islamic tenets.",
"Ibn Taymiyya challenged Ash'arite theologian Ghazali's epistimolegical discourse which emphasized linguistic and figurative (''majaz'') analysis, instead advocating Scriptural literalism based on contextual intrapolation.",
"Ibn Taymiyya categorised Ash'arites alongside heterodox sects like Kharijites, Mu'tazilites, Jahmites, Shi'ites, etc.",
"that separated from Sunni orthodoxy.",
"In spite of his exclusivist positions, Ibn Taymiyya held that all those sects are not to be excommunicated, except for Jahmites and extreme Shi'ites.",
"Ibn Taymiyya's attempts to focus attention onto Qur'anic rationality was taken up by his student Ibn Qayyim, to the exception of his other followers.",
"This focus on traditionlist rationlism was also taken up by Musa Bigiev.Despite his critical stance, one of Ibn Taymiyya's last direct students, Ibn Qadi al-Jabal (d. 1370), says that \"Ibn Taymiyya used to praise the expansiveness of al-Ash'ari’s knowledge and would quote the latter’s works by memory in public lessons (''al-majalis al-a'mma''), in particular ''al-Iba'na''\", that he talked highly of later Ash'ari scholars like Al-Baqillani and Al-Juwayni and as for Al-Ghazali, having studied his books with Ibn Taymiyya, he says that \"Ibn Taymiyya told those present how impressed he was by al-Ghazali’s eloquence and the extent of his knowledge.\""

"===Existence of saints===Although it is sometimes supposed that Ibn Taymiyya rejected the very idea of saints, which had become a cardinal Sunni belief in the medieval period, scholarship has shown that this is not true.",
"Nevertheless, it's important to note that the term saint (wali) in Islam is not equal to the Catholic definition of it.",
"Saint in Islamic theology designates righteous people from the past, who became well known for their piety.",
"There is, though, no process of canonization or veneration of icons, which is strongly condemned in Islam as violations of the basic monotheism.",
"Indeed, while Ibn Taymiyya did indeed reject widely established orthodox ''practices'' associated with the veneration of saints in Islam at his time, like the visitation to their graves and the seeking of their intercession, he never rejected the actual existence of saints as such.",
"On the contrary, he explicitly states: \"The miracles of saints are absolutely true and correct, by the acceptance of all Muslim scholars.",
"And the Qur'an has pointed to it in different places, and the sayings of Muhammad have mentioned it, and whoever denies the miraculous power of saints are only people who are innovators and their followers.\"",
"In this particular respect, he differed little from all his contemporaries; for just as practically all of the era's scholars believed that \"the lives of saints and their miracles were incontestable\", so also did Ibn Taymiyya.Ibn Taymiyya's most categorical declaration of accepting the existence of saints and their miracles appears in his famous creed '''Aqīda al-Wāsitīya'', in which he states: \"Among the fundamentals of the belief of the People of the Sunna is belief in the miracles of the saints (''karāmāt al-awliyā'') and the supernatural acts which God achieves through them in all varieties of knowledge, illuminations (''mukāshafāt''), power, and impressions as it is handed down about the ancient nations in the chapter of the Cave and in other Quranic chapters and is known of the early men among this Community of Believers among the Companions and Followers and the rest of the generations of this Community of Believers.",
"It the blessing of having saints and saintly miracles will be with them until the Day of Resurrection.",
"\"===Visitation of the tombs of the prophets and the saints (''Ziyarah'')===Ibn Taymiyya considered the visitation of the tombs of prophets and saints as impermissible, a blameworthy innovation and comparable to worshiping something besides God (''shirk'').",
"His pilgrimage (''Hajj'') to the city of Mecca in 1293 motivated Ibn Taymiyya to compile the treatise ''Manasik al-Hajj'' wherein he harshly attacked the practice of travelling to visit Muhammad's grave as a ''bid'ah'' (religious innovation).",
"In Ibn Taymiyya's view, if early Muslims did not visit Muhammad's grave, and especially if Muhammad forbade the visiting of his grave as a religious ritual; then doing so would be an innovation as per Islamic teachings.",
"According to Ibn Taymiyya, all religious journeys with the purpose of visiting other than the three mosques of Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem are prohibited.",
"This includes even Muhammad's grave in Medina.",
"Although a person staying in Medina may visit Muhammad's grave, Ibn Taymiyya argues, this cannot be its purpose.Nevertheless, Ibn Taymiyya did not condemn ''ziyara'' in its entirety and affirms a form of ziyāra that aligned with his reading of the salaf; which did not place the dead between the believer and God.",
"Ibn Taymiyya categorised unlawful grave-visits into three distinct types.",
"One category was the practice in which a person travels to a grave, invokes God directly yet includes the name of saint in that supplication directed to God as part of ''Tawassul''.",
"Ibn Taymiyya dismisses this as unlawful innovation but does not label it as ''shirk'' (polytheism).",
"The second category of unlawful ''ziyāra'' involves visiting graves with the purpose of seeking the intercession (''Shafa'a'') of the dead with God.",
"Ibn Taymiyya strongly condemned this as ''shirk'' and compared it to the Meccan opponents of the Muhammad, writing:\"If he says, “I ask him so that he may intercede with God for me, because he is closer to God than me.",
"And I seek a means to God through him, just as a means to the ruler is sought through his special counsel and helpers’ – this is from the actions of the mushrikūn and Christians, for they claim to take priests and rabbis as intercessors, who intercede for them in their requests, and God informs us of the mushrikūn that they said, \"We do not worship them except that they bring us closer to God.\"",
"(Q 39:3)The type of grave-visits which Ibn Taymiyya considered as the most heinous form of ''shirk'' and condemned most harshly were the ones involving direct supplication to the dead.",
"Excommunicating those who practised this as apostates and calling for their execution, Ibn Taymiyya writes:\"As for the one who comes to a grave of a prophet or a righteous person and asks his need from him such as asking him to end his illness…or fulfil his debt, or take vengeance from his enemy, or to heal him, his family or his beast and what is like this, from those matters that none but God, the Mighty and Majestic has power over, then this is clear shirk (''shirk sarīḥ''), it is obligatory that his repentance be sought, or he is (to be) killed.",
"\"Ibn Taymiyya's views on ''Ziyara'' would be vigorously rejected by those Sunni scholars who opposed his views both during his life and after his death.",
"The Shafi'i scholar Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani stated that ''\"This is one of the ugliest positions that has been reported of Ibn Taymiyya\"'' and also added that travelling to visit the tomb of Muhammad was ''\"one of the best of actions and the noblest of pious deeds with which one draws near to God, and its legitimacy is a matter of consensus.\"''",
"The Hanafi hadith scholar Ali al-Qari stated that, ''\"Amongst the Hanbalis, Ibn Taymiyya has gone to an extreme by prohibiting travelling to visit the Prophet – may God bless him and grant him peace\"'' Qastallani stated that ''\"The Shaykh Taqi al-Din Ibn Taymiyya has abominable and odd statements on this issue to the effect that travelling to visit the Prophet is prohibited and is not a pious deed.\"''",
"Other scholars in opposition to Ibn Taymiyya's views include Ghazali, Nawawi, Munawi and Qadi Ayyad who stated that visiting Muhammad was ''\"a sunna of the Muslims on which there was consensus, and a good and desirable deed.",
"\"''===Intercession===Ibn Taymiyya became one of the most influential clerical stalwarts of a trend of Islamic thought which rejected ideas associated with saint-cults, beliefs in intercession, the sanctity of saints’ alleged relics, veneration of graves, etc.",
"He is widely regarded as one of the most astute and formidable opponents of beliefs and practices associated with saint veneration in Islamic scholarship.",
"Yahya Michot, Professor at Hartford University, analogized Ibn Taymiyya's views with Protestant attacks on Catholic \"idolatry\".",
"German academic Marco Schöller compared the treatises of Ibn Taymiyya to that of the 16th century European Protestant theologian John Calvin.",
"Ibn Taymiyya had advocated an extensive theological doctrine that aimed to upheld ''Tawhid'' by prohibiting bid’a (innovations).",
"Various beliefs and acts Ibn Taymiyya considered as religious innovations and/or ''shirk'' included setting up intermediaries between God and creation, seeking intercession from anything other than God, visiting shrines, metaphorical interpretations of the Qur’an, veneration of creation, ruling by non-Islamic laws, denying Divine Attributes, etc.",
"One of the core teachings espoused by Ibn Taymiyya was that the original polytheists during ''Jahiliyya'' (pre-Islamic era) had acknowledged God as their Supreme Lord and Creator; but they associated their deities with God in terms of love, worship and veneration.Ibn Taymiyya believed that seeking the assistance of God through intercession is allowed, as long as the other person is still alive.",
"However, he believed that those who seek assistance from the graves of the Prophet or saints, are ''mushrikin'' (polytheists), someone who is engaged in shirk.",
"Ibn Taymiyya's vehement denunciation of intercession, saint-veneration, cult of saints, etc.",
"were based on his conception of worship (''‘Ibāda''), which included a broad range of religious practices.",
"According to Ibn Taymiyya, Worship includes acts such as sacrificial offerings, fasting, praying, supplications (''du‘ā’''), etc.",
"The practice of supplication (''du‘ā’'') was significant; since both Ibn Taymiyya and Ibn Qayyim labelled ''du‘ā’'' to be the \"essence of worship\" (''mukhkh al-‘ibāda'').",
"Declaring ''Takfir'' (Excommunication) upon those people who adhered to these practices, Ibn Taymiyya states:\"Requesting healing from illness, or the wellbeing of the family, or deliverance from adversity in this world and the hereafter, or victory over one’s enemy, or guidance of the heart, or forgiveness of sins, or entry into heaven or deliverance from hell… it is only permissible to request this from God alone.",
"It is not permissible to say to a King, prophet or shaykh – living or dead – ‘forgive my sins’… and other things like that.",
"Whoever asks this from a created being is a mushrik with his Lord.",
"\"This view was also vigorously rejected by his Sunni opponents who dominated the contemporary religious scholarship.",
"For example, the chief judge of Damascus, Taqi al-Din al-Subki stated that, ''\"It is proper to entreat and ask for the help and intercession of the Prophet ﷺ with God.",
"No one from amongst the salaf and khalaf denied this, until Ibn Taymiyya came along and disapproved of this, and deviated from the straight path, and invented a position that no scholar has said before, and he became a deterrent example for Muslims\"''.",
"Similarly, Ibn Hajar al-Haytami rejected Ibn Taymiyya's view on intercession and held that he had broken with the established consensus of Sunni scholars, as did many other scholars such as Zurqani and Khalil ibn Ishaq.On the other hand, Ibn Taymiyya firmly upheld his views -which he regarded as the orthodox Sunni position- as religiously indisputable and quoted a scholarly consensus (''Ijma'') in support of his beliefs:\"Whoever seeks aid from the one who is deceased or absent human being, such that he calls upon him during difficulues and times of hardship and asks to fulfill his needs by saying 'Oh my master so and so' seeking help and aid in removing hardship, or he says when the enemy attacks him: 'Oh my master so and so', appealing to him or he says this when he is sick, poor, and needing other things – such a person is misguided, ignorant, mushrik and disobedient to God by the consensus of Muslims; for they agree that the dead is not called upon and nothing is required of him, whether he is a prophet, a sheikh, or otherwise\""

"View on other Muslim groups",
"===Sufis===Some scholars argue that Ibn Taymiyya belonged to the Qadiriyya tariqa (order) of Sufism and claimed to inherit the khirqa (spiritual mantle) of the founder of the Qadiriyya order 'Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani.Among his explicit positive references to Sufism and the Qadiriyya tariqa in particular, Ibn Taymiyya referred to Jilani as \"Shaykhuna\" (our Shaykh) and \"Sayyidi\" (my master).",
"He spoke highly of a great many other Sufi Shaykhs also such as Abu Yazid al-Bistami and al-Junayd, and went to great lengths to state that Sufism is not a heretical innovation (bid'ah).",
"However, authors like Fritz Meier and Thomas Michel contend that such reports and traditions attributed to Ibn Taymiyya does not prove that he was a member formally affiliated to any Sufi ''Tariqa''.Gibril Haddad, a contemporary Naqshbandi Sufi scholar and critic of Ibn Taymiyya's doctrinal positions, argues that \"insofar as the goal of ''tasawwuf'' is the purification of the heart by progress through states (''ahwal'') and stations (''maqamat''), Ibn Taymiyya in ''al-Tuhfat al-'Iraqiyya'' (al-Zarqa’ Jordan 1978, p. 18) imitated Imam al-Ghazali's ''fatwa'' in ''al-Munqidh min al-Dalal'' in considering ''tasawwuf'' obligatory upon every Muslim, naming it ''a'mal al-qulub''.\"",
"Scholar Arjan Post, in the introduction to the edition and English translation of ''Risālat al-sulūk'' (Epistle on the Spiritual Way) by al-Baʿlabakkī (d. 734/1333), a Lebanon-born Hanbali Sufi and direct student of Ibn Taymiyya, talks of a \"Sufi circle\" among his students, notably through ʿImād al-Dīn Aḥmad al-Wāsiṭī, who \"fulfilled the role of Sufi shaykh in the Taymiyyan circle until he passed away in 711/1311\", and who was appreciated by other famous direct or indirect students of Ibn Taymiyya who became famous scholars, notably Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya, Ibn Rajab and Al-Dhahabi.",
"Although Ibn Taymiyya was critical of some of the developments within Sufism, he never rejected the practice outright, and actually enumerated a list of early Sufis whom he considered to be among the greatest Islamic saints.",
"In this list, he included Bayazid Bastami, Junayd of Baghdad, Abdul-Qadir Gilani, Hasan of Basra, Ibrahim ibn Adham, Maruf Karkhi, Sirri Saqti, and several other venerable personages who have always been venerated in mainstream Sunni Islam as being among the greatest saints of all.",
"Ibn Taymiyya believed that all these Sufi saints shared creedal beliefs of the ahl al-hadith (\"traditionalists\").",
"He criticized one of the foundational Sufi texts, Abd al-Karim al-Qushayri's Epistle, for ascribing to the early Sufi authorities Ash'ari beliefs.",
"He argued that neither the Ash'ari theologians nor the Sufi monists of his time have a historical or ideological connection with the authoritative Sufis of the first centuries of Islam.",
"Ibn Taymiyya relies in his critique on the legacy of the traditionalist Sufis and historians––among them, Abu Mansur Ma'mar al-Isfahani (d. 418/1027), Abu Isma'il Abd Allah al-Ansari al-Harawi (d. 481/1089), Abu Bakr al-Kalabadhi (d. ca.",

"Scholars and researchers who propound this view argue that the notion of Ibn Taymiyya's alleged support towards Sufism were based on misinterpretations of his ''Fatwas'' (legal verdicts).",
"The words of Ibn Taymiyya in praise of 'Abd al-Qadir Gilani were simply respect of the latter in the scope of scholarly position, not the mystical cult of personality or saint-veneration towards Gilani practiced by the Qadiryya order, which in effect also includes the view of Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya's hostile view towards ''Tariqa'' orders.",
"This view of Ibn Taymiyya's total rejection of Sufism and ''Tariqa'' concept of Mysticism were also supported by the Puritans during the era of Ottoman Empire.",
"According to Hamud at Tuwaijir, a Hadith scholar, this view alone caused Ibn Taymiyya, and by extension, Ibn al Qayyim, and his spiritual successor, Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab, being reviled so much by some of the communities that supported Sufism, such as Tablighi Jamaat.In particular, Ibn Taymiyya rejected two views associated with some extreme Sufis.",
"He rejected the veneration of saints who promulgated Ibn Arabi's doctrines of wahdat al-wajud.",
"Firstly, he rejected monism which he believed was similar to the pantheistic belief that God \"encompasses all things\".",
"Secondly, he asserted that the view that divine illumination is of a greater importance than obeying the sharia was a failure to properly follow the example of Muhammad.",
"On Ibn 'Arabi, and Sufism in general, Henri Laoust says that Ibn Taymiyya never condemned Sufism in and of itself, but only that which he considered to be inadmissible deviations in doctrine, ritual or morals, such as monism, antinomianism or esotericism.",
"However, scholar Jamileh Kadivar has reported that Ibn Taymiyya issued blatant takfir (excommunication from Islam) on Ibn 'Arabi.",
"This view was also supported by the official scholars committee from Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University, who issued a formal Fatwa (legal verdict) maintaining that Ibn Taymiyya rejected any form of Sufism, whether they are structural, such as ''Tariqa'' order, or non-structural, individual practice of Sufism.",
"The ''fatwa'' also covered the speculation of him belonging to the Qadiriyya order; stating that it was a fabrication.Furthermore, there had also been numerous incidents wherein Ibn Taymiyya physically confronted Sufis.",
"In 1301, Ibn Taymiyya had accompanied the Mamluk army in its campaigns against the Shia inhabitants of Kasrawan town.",
"After expelling the non-Sunni inhabitants of the town, Ibn Taymiyya returned to Syria to attack the Sufi Ahmadiyya Rifawiyyan order of Damascus; accusing them of \"Mongol sympathies\".",
"After 1305, there would be a dramatic escalation in confrontations between Ibn Taymiyya and popular folk expressions of religion associated with Sufism.",
"In one such incident, Taymiyyah would personally lead stonemasons and demolish a structure in the Naranja Mosque to physically prevent Sufi veneration of a popular religious site.",
"Disparaging the various mystical and devotional exercises of the practitioners of esoteric Sufism, Ibn Taymiyya argued that such rituals only enable Satan to possess their empty minds and corrupt their souls.Ibn Taymiyya vehemently denounced the doctrines of the Sufi masters Muhyiddun Ibn ‘Arabī (d. 1240), Al-Qunawi, Ibn Sab'in, etc.",
"who had advocated the concept of ''waḥdat al-wujūd'' (Unity of Existence).",
"Ibn Taymiyya believed that the emergence of Sufi pantheist doctrines heralded the coming of ''Masih ad-Dajjal'' (Anti-christ), blaming it as the main reason for the Tatar invasions and the ensuing dismantlement of Sharia (Islamic law).",
"Condemning Ibn 'Arabi and his followers as a greater danger than the Mongol invasions itself, Ibn Taymiyya writes:\"Opposing (by word or deed) these (proponents of ''waḥdat al-wujūd'') is the greatest of religious obligations, for they have corrupted intellects and creeds of the people, including Shaykhs, scholars and rulers…their harm is greater in religion than harm of the one who corrupts the worldly affairs of the Muslims but leaves their religion untouched, such as the bandit of the Mongols who take away people’s wealth but leave alone their religion.",
"\"Ibn Taymiyya was also known for his critique of influential Asharite theologian Abu Hamid al-Ghazali (d. 1111 C.E/ 505 A.H), whom he accused of being deviated from authentic Sunnism, over his choice of embracing the Sufi path.",
"On Ghazali's forsaking of ''Kalam'', Esotericism, Philosophy, etc.",
"and eventual embracal of the Sufi path, Ibn Taymiyya writes:\"he Ghazali soon discovered by means of his intelligence and devout inquiry, that the method of the theologians and philosophers was incoherent.",
".. so he began search for the exposition of this faith.",
"Then he discovered in the discourses of Sufi shaykhs that which was nearer to the truth and more reasonable than what the theologians and philosophers had to offer...",
"But, he did not gain access to the prophetic heritage, namely the sciences and spiritual states possessed by the elect of the community.",
"Nor did he attain the proper knowledge and devotion achieved by the earliest generations and the forerunners of the community.",
"Both these groups attained so much by way of cognitive discoveries and practical modes of service to God which those others i.e.",
"theologians, philosophers and Sufis never attained.",
"Hence, he al-Ghazali began to believe that the exposition of his concise faith could be obtained only through the Sufi way, since he knew no other path.",
"This happened because the special path of the elevated prophetic example remained closed to him.",
"\"=== Shi'sm ===Ibn Taymiyya was a proponent of the doctrine of ''Takfir'' (excommunication) on adherents of various Shia sects, the Mu'tazilites, Sufi mystics like Ibn 'Arabi, etc.",
"; declaring them as apostates based on his religious interpretations.",
"In particular, Ibn Taymiyya was extremely critical of Twelver Shi'ism, and considered its adherents to be religiously bankrupt, among the most morally depraved people and the root cause of many ills plaguing the Muslim World.",
"His severe critique of Twelver Shia in his book, ''Minhaj as-Sunnah an-Nabawiyyah,'' was written in response to the book ''Minhaj al-karama fi ma'rifat al-imama'', by the Shia theologian Al-Hilli.",
"Much of his criticisms tended to emphasise the similarities between the Shi'ites, Christians and Jews.",
"Ibn Taymiyya also wrote comprehensive refutations of the Twelver doctrine of Imamah and much of his works serve as an influential source for Sunni anti-Shi'te polemics to this day.Among other things, he accused Shia (who he often referred to as ''rafidha'' or rejectionists) of helping non-Muslim enemies against MuslimsMany of the ''rafidha'' (rejectionists) would favor the infidels within his heart more than he would favor the Muslims.",
"That is why when the infidel Turks emerged from the east and fought the Muslims and spilled their blood, in the lands of Khurasan and in Iraq and Sham and in the Peninsula and elsewhere, the rafidha were there to aid them in killing Muslims.",
"And the Baghdad vizier known as Al-’Alqami; it was he and others like him who greatly aided them against the Muslims, as well as those who were in Al-Sham’s Aleppo and other rafidha who were the fiercest collaborators in fighting Muslims.",
"The same goes for the Christians (the Crusaders) in Al-Sham where the rafidha were their greatest helpers.",
"And should the Jews get a state in Iraq or elsewhere, the rafidha will be their greatest helpers, for they are always supportive of the infidels whether they are idolaters or Jews or Christians...Regarding the Shia mourning for Husayn on Ashura, Ibn Taymiyya considered Husayn's martyrdom as a divinely bestowed honour—not a major tragedy.",
"He also argued that such mourning was never instructed by Muhammad and that the Islamic response to recent (let alone ancient) loss is not extravagant mourning but to endure the loss with patience and trust in God.",
"However, he also believed those who celebrated on Ashura were anti-Shia zealots (\"''an-Nāṣibiyyah''\") or ignorant people.Fathi Shaqaqi, the Sunni Islamist inspired by the Islamic revolution of Iran who founded the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine, said that Ibn Taymiyya didn't consider Twelver Shi'as, that is the majority of the Shi'as, to be heretics, but mainly sects like the Ismailis, also precising that the geopolitical context of the day played a role in his thinking, and that, among Sunni scholars, \"''fatwas'' such as his were not disseminated, despite the fact that the Shi‘a had by then been in existence for some 600 years.",
"\"Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi, one of the most influential modern jihadi ideologues, bases himself on Ibn Taymiyya to say that the laypeople among the Shi'as are not to be considered disbelievers.",
"Ibn Taymiyya's relentless polemics against Shiism consolidated the orthodox Sunni anti-Shia stances and has influenced numerous Sunni scholars, intellectuals and Islamist ideologues."
],
[
"Views on non-Muslims",
"=== Christianity ===Ibn Taymiyya wrote polemics against Christians.",
"His work ''Al-Jawāb al-Ṣaḥīḥ li-man baddala dīn al-Masīh'' is a detailed refutation of Christian doctrine written in response to Paul of Antioch and the ''Letter from the People of Cyprus''.",
"He also held extreme anti-Christian views and enmity.",
"He also discounts the Christians' role in early Islamic history and views interfaith commonality as a luxury, giving an ideological justification to declare unrestricted war on Christians and Jews.",
"Meanwhile, in what a number of modern scholars have seen as the golden age of Christian Arabic literature, Arab speaking Christian scholars wrote extensive theological treaties in Arabic in which they not only responded to the polemics of their Muslim advertiser but they also provided systematic, summary discussions of Christian faith and practice.Ibn Taymiyya issued a ''fatwa'' prohibited Muslims to participate and greeting Christians on their religious events and celebrations or to imitate them, he said in ''Majmoo‘ al-Fataawa (2/488)'': \"It is not permissible for the Muslims to imitate them Christians in any way that is unique to their festivals, whether it be food, clothes, bathing, lighting fires or refraining from usual work or worship, and so on.",
"And it is not permissible to give a feast or to exchange gifts or to sell things that help them to celebrate their festivals, or to let children and others play the games that are played on their festivals, or to adorn oneself or put up decorations\".An example of Ibn Taymiyya use of his interpretation was in defense of the (temporary) closing of all Christian churches in 1299 in the Mamluk Sultanate.",
"The closing was in violation of a 600-year-old covenant with Christian ''dhimmis'' known as the Pact of Umar.",
"But as Ibn Taymiyya pointed out, while venerable, the pact was written 60 years or so after the time of the companions and so had no legal effect.",
"Ibn Taymiyya also suggested that Jews and Christians should be confined to their own specific regions.=== Druze ===Ibn Taymiyya dismissed the Druze as non-Muslims, and his fatwa cited that Druzes: \"Are not at the level of ′Ahl al-Kitāb (People of the Book) nor mushrikin (polytheists).",
"Rather, they are from the most deviant kuffār (Infidel) ... Their women can be taken as slaves and their property can be seized ... they are to be killed whenever they are found and cursed as they described ...",
"It is obligatory to kill their scholars and religious figures so that they do not misguide others\", which in that setting would have legitimized violence against them as apostates.",
"Ibn Taymiyya believed that Druze have a high level of infidelity, besides being apostates.",
"Thus, they are not trustworthy and should not be forgiven.",
"He teaches also that Muslims cannot accept Druze penitence nor keep them alive, and Druze property should be confiscated, and their women enslaved.",
"Mamluk and Ottoman sultans have often relied on Ibn Taymiyya religious ruling to justify their persecution of Druze, and calling for jihad against the Druze.=== Alawites ===Ibn Taymiyya pointed out that the Alawites were not Shi'ites because they were heretics and therefore they were outside Islam, arguably, he was the most virulently anti-Alawite in his fatwas where he ruled that the Alawites \"are more infidel than Jews or Christians, even more infidel than many polytheists.",
"They have done greater harm to the community of Muhammad than have the warring infidels such as the Franks, the Turks, and others.",
"To ignorant Muslims they pretend to be Shi'is, though in reality they do not believe in God or his prophet or his book…Whenever possible, they spill the blood of Muslims…They are always the worst enemies of the Muslims…war and punishment in accordance with Islamic law against them are among the greatest of pious deeds and the most important obligations.\""
],
[
"Economic views",
"He elaborated a circumstantial analysis of market mechanism, with a theoretical insight unusual in his time.",
"Regarding the power of supply and demand, Ibn Taymiyya said, \"If desire for goods increases while its availability decreases, its price rises.",
"On the other hand, if availability of the good increases and the desire for it decreases, the price comes down.\"",
"His discourses on the welfare advantages and disadvantages of market regulation and deregulation, have an almost contemporary ring to them.However, he also advocated a policy of \"fair prices\" and \"fair profits\", with the implication that anything higher would be impious.",
"Such forms of price fixing was detrimental to entrepreneurship.",
"He argued that trade and commerce should be conducted in a fair and just manner, and that individuals had a responsibility to treat their customers and business partners with honesty and integrity.",
"He believed that the principles of Islamic economics were designed to promote economic growth and prosperity while ensuring social justice and fairness."
],
[
"Eternity of species",
"He argued that there was an alternate view to the view which was held by philosophers, like Ibn Sina, who claimed that the universe was eternal in its entirety, and Islamic scholars, like Fakhr al-Din al-Razi, who claimed that the universe was created from nothing by God.",
"In his Sharh Hadith Imran ibn Hasan, Ibn Taymiyya distinguishes between species and elements, asserting that the former are eternal with God.",
"He states: \"If it is supposed that the species of things done has been with Him from eternity, neither revelation nor reason denies this 'withness' (ma'iyya).",
"On the contrary, it is part of His perfection.\"",
"In fact, Ibn Taymiyya draws this assertion from his belief that God perpetually creates, i.e.",
"in pre-eternity.",
"John Hoover, in his Perpetual Creativity In The Perfection Of God: Ibn Taymiyya's Hadith Commentary On God's Creation Of This World, elaborates, \"Following in the footsteps of Ibn Sina and Ibn Rushd, Ibn Taymiyya then roots God's perpetual creativity in a Neoplatonic concept of God's perfection.",
"Power and creativity are necessary concomitants of God's perfection.",
"If God's creativity were not perpetual, God would have been devoid of His creativity, as well as other attributes of perfection, in pre-eternity.\""

"Barter is cast as the noble truth-seeker, which is fair enough.",

"\"Daniel Kurland of ''Bloody Disgusting'' gave the series a three out of five stars, writing: \"The Truth About Jim has good intentions and charts curious ground through its possible familial connection to a notorious serial killer.",
"Not everything in this curious case study works and it sometimes feels as if it gets lost in the weeds.",
"However, when it connects, it’s powerful storytelling that proves that there’s so much more to an investigation than simply results and proof.\""

"Methocinnamox"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Methocinnamox''' is an opioid antagonist."
],
[
"Mechanism of action",
"Methocinnamox is an opioid antagonist, it works at the µ-opioid receptor.",
"By being an antagonist, it binds to the receptor but does not activate it, thus blocking the action of agonists such as Fentanyl."
],
[
"Therapeutic potential",
"===Opioid overdose===In rats, methocinnamox is able to reverse the respiratory depressant effects of fentanyl.",
"However, unlike naloxone, another opioid antagonist, its action lasts around 2 weeks if administered subcutaneously and up to 5 days if administered intravenously.",
"This could make it a better antidote than naloxone in opioid overdoses, because naloxone usually lasts around 30 minutes, there is a need for repeated administration and a danger of renarcotization.",
"By acting longer, methocinnamox prevents these dangers.Other tests have also shown this result, methocinnamox was able to reverse the respiratory depressant effect of heroin."

"Introduction",

"Interestingly, the annual festival at the Vattappalai Kannaki Amman Kovil is celebrated with devotees lighting lamps with sea water instead of using oil.",
"Vaikasi Pongal is a common phenomenon at the Vattappalai Kannaki Amman Kovil and it is celebrated in a grand manner."
],
[
"History",
"As per the mythology, it is believed that goddess Kannagi arrived in Sri Lanka and stayed in 10 different locations, especially after she burned the Madurai Kingdom in anger according to historic epic Cilappatikaram as a result of not gaining justice for her husband Kovalan's planned assassination.",
"As per the history, it is widely acknowledged that the tenth place where Kannaki stayed was later known to be \"Vattappalai\".There is a backstory regarding the origin story of Vattappalai Kannaki Amman Kovil.",
"Once upon a time, an old woman visited the eastern part of Vattappalai village with the intention of taking some rest after being exhausted from a long journey.",
"Reportedly, a few children who were looking after a herd of cattle in that particular area had identified and noticed that an old lady was taking some rest, and the children reached towards her to inquire about her health.",
"Apparently, the children prepared pongal and delivered it to her in order for her to eat.",
"The old lady later revealed that she came from the Chola Empire, and she also insisted the children worship her, especially during Vaikasi Visakham (Vaisakha), and make pongal on such occasions.",
"She then eventually disappeared away, and it was later believed that it was goddess Amman who reprised the role of an old lady.",
"The children spread the news all over the village, and that was how people came to know about the turn of events, and they built the kovil, as we call it now."

[
"Reception",
"On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes website, the film has an approval rating of 94% based on 16 reviews, with an average rating of 7.1/10.On Metacritic, it has a weighted average score of 74 out of 100 based on 7 reviews, indicating \"generally favorable reviews\".Elena Lazic of Cineuropa reviewing the film at Sundance Film Festival praised the director writing, \"the debut feature from Chinese director Lin Jianjie, skillfully builds up suspense and a fascinating, morbid intensity by showing in minute detail how easy it can be to let societal demands for excellence threaten even the most sacred bonds.\"",
"Concluding her review Lazic wrote, \"An assured debut displaying a fantastic control of craft and a remarkably nuanced understanding of human psychology, the film dares to expose the serious strain that social and economic expectations put on a structure once meant to be a haven of love and support.\"",
"James Mottram of South China Morning Post rated the film 3.5/5 and wrote, \"There are moments of real subtlety sewn into the fabric.",
"The performances are rightly understated too, with Lin also smartly capturing the glistening urban backdrops – everything has a cold, impersonal sheen.\"",
"Mottram compared the film to British actress-director Emerald Fennell’s 2023 black comedy psychological thriller film ''Saltburn'', which incidentally also \"features an interloper penetrating the confines of a well-to-do family.\"",
"In end Mottram wrote, \"''Brief History of a Family'' is a film that leaves viewers with a disquieting feeling as the credits roll.",
"\"Carlos Aguilar, reviewing at the Sundance Film Festival for ''Variety'', wrote, \"Elevated by its consistent visual inventiveness... the closer we observe, the more it reveals itself as a tale of wish fulfillment for everyone involved.\"",
"John Berra of ''ScreenDaily'' giving positive review wrote that the film has \"elusive quality and uniquely disquieting tone\".",
"Berra opined thar the \"ambiguity is maintained through a finely modulated quartet of performances which are in-synch with the film’s technical elements.\"",
"Concluding he wrote, that the film \"is not so much of a critique of China’s middle-class as the conditions that have shaped its evolution.\""

"Thomas Dewhurst"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The Blackburn Olympic Cup-winning side in 1883.Dewhurst is standing third from the left in the top row'''Thomas \"Tom\" Dewhurst''' (20 December 1862 - 20 January 1940) was an association footballer who won the FA Cup as a player for Blackburn Olympic in 1883."
],
[
"Early life",
"Like most of the Olympic side, generally considered \"not high enough on the social scale\", Dewhurst was of solid working-class stock; his father (also Thomas) was a spinning master at a Blackburn cotton mill, and Dewhurst also became a weaver."
],
[
"Football career",
"===Blackburn Olympic===Dewhurst had been scouted by the Olympic after showing form for the Black Prince junior side, and, after a period with the reserves, was promoted to the first team in an emergency for a match against Church in 1882; once in the side, he became a near-permanent fixture on the right-wing.His competitive debut for the club came in the first round of the 1882–83 FA Cup, making one of the goals in Olympic's 6–3 win over Accrington.",
"He made two goals, and scored one himself, in the 8–1 win over Lower Darwen in the second round, and scored the opening goal in the semi-final against Old Carthusians inside the first five minutes.",
"His, and Olympic's, season reached a climax in beating the Old Etonians in the final, the winning goal coming in the second half of extra time after Dewhurst crossed for James Costley to finish.It was the club's final trophy.",
"Dewhurst was part of the Olympic side which lost the Lancashire Senior Cup final in 1884.At the start of the 1884–85 season, Dewhurst was found in Burnley colours, despite an expectation that he would join Bolton Wanderers.",
"His stint with Burnley however only lasted one match; he promptly returned to Olympic for the season, and scored a hat-trick in the 12–0 win at Oswaldtwistle Rovers, but his season ended after he broke his arm in a match against Darwen.",
"His final full season with Olympic in 1885–86 was a disappointment, the opinion being that he had become \"downright lazy\", although he scored in two of the three matches Olympic played against Church in the 1885–86 FA Cup, which ended in the Olympians' defeat.===Dropped by England===Dewhurst was selected to play for the England national football team for the match against Ireland in 1884, but was dropped from the squad after an incident in the 1883–84 FA Cup fifth round tie against Northwich Victoria; the Olympic, dominating the opponents, \"played pranks with them to the amusement of the spectators\", and, after a report that Dewhurst had thrown mud at one of the Victoria players, the Football Association notified Dewhurst his services were no longer required.===Post-Olympic=== In 1886, Dewhurst moved to Halliwell, which had also recruited players from Great Lever in an attempt to step up in the national game.",
"Unfortunately for the Halliwellians, its move came too late, as its new players were not registered in time to play in the 1886–87 FA Cup, so it scratched from its first round tie with Blackburn Rovers.",
"A sign of the potential was that Halliwell instead played out a friendly, which ended 3–3, Dewhurst scoring twice.",
"However the Halliwell project fell apart; Dewhurst was out of form in the Halliwellians' Lancashire Cup defeat to Higher Walton and fell ill during a match with Preston North End in sodden conditions in October.",
"By December 1887, Dewhurst had \"been discharged\" by Halliwell, and returned to Olympic, where he showed \"flashes of his old form\".In 1888, Dewhurst joined Nelson, along with former team-mate Costley, but the arrangement did not seem to last long, and Dewhurst finished his career in 1891–92 playing for Higher Walton."
],
[
"Personal life",
"Dewhurst married Mary Neville on 21 October 1884, at St John the Evangelist Church in Blackburn.",
"The couple had one daughter.",
"In later life, following an injury, he became a publican.",
"He was the last surviving member of the Olympic Cup-winning side, dying after a short illness in Penwortham in 1940."

"Introduction",
"'''''The Traitors''''' is a reality game show franchise created by the All3Media company IDTV which originally aired on RTL 4 in the Netherlands in 2021."
],
[
"Gameplay",
"The players are divided into two groups: the \"Faithfuls\" and the \"Traitors,\" with only the latter group having knowledge of each other's group affiliation.",
"The Faithfuls must work together to identify and eliminate the Traitors through banishment before the end of the game, while the Traitors' objective is to remain undetected and escape banishment.On most nights, the Traitors come together and decide upon one Faithful contestant to \"murder\" – and that person will leave the game immediately.",
"The remaining Faithful contestants will not know who has been eliminated until the following day when that person does not enter the room for breakfast.",
"The group then take part in a mission to win money for the prize fund.",
"In some versions, the missions offered an opportunity for players to visit the armoury – during which players will randomly and secretly be awarded the shield.",
"In other versions, the shield is only available to obtain during the missions.",
"Holding a shield awards a player immunity from being murdered, but not from the Banishment Vote.",
"An attempted murder on the shield holder will result in no player being eliminated by Murder.At the end of most days, the players will participate in a Round Table, where the players discuss who to vote out before individually voting for a player to be banished.",
"Players cast their votes privately before revealing their votes in turn to everyone once all votes are locked-in and may give a brief rationale for their vote.",
"The person who received the most votes for banishment is banished from the game and must reveal which group (Faithfuls or Traitors) they belonged to.",
"During the game, if the amount of remaining Traitors drops to two, they will be given the option to recruit a Faithful to join them in lieu of committing a murder.",
"The Faithful will have the option to decline, and declining may or may not result in them being murdered immediately.",
"If the Faithful accepts, they become a Traitor from that point on.After the final round table, the remaining players vote whether to end the game or to continue the game.",
"A unanimous vote to end the game is required; if there is at least one vote to continue, another banishment vote is immediately conducted, before repeating the vote to end the game with the remaining players.",
"When a unanimous vote to end the game occurs, or when there are only two players left, the remaining players reveal whether they are a Faithful or a Traitor.",
"If the remaining players are Faithfuls, they will share the prize fund; but if any Traitors make it to the end, they will win the full prize fund instead.The amount of players varies season to season and from franchise to franchise.",
"The amount of Traitors that start the game also varies season to season.",
"In some versions, the players are celebrities."

"It is 11 pages long.",
"Kaczynski wrote the parable from prison.",

[
"Introduction",
"'''BNN Breaking''' is a news website based in Hong Kong launched in 2022 by Indian-American entrepreneur Gurbaksh Chahal.",
"It has been criticised for posting large numbers of misleading and inaccurate news stories, potentially using AI-driven content aggregation."
],
[
"Reception",
"The BNN Breaking website claims to have an extensive network of reporters on the ground that supply information to major news outlets.",
"However, it has been described by others as a news aggregator, and has also been accused of using artificial intelligence to extract and summarize news from other sources, often resulting in misleading and inaccurate coverage.",
"For example, it has been noted that purported journalists credited by the site publish dozens of articles a day, indicating a potential use of AI-driven content aggregation.",
"It has also been accused of spreading misinformation about prominent politicians and celebrities.",
"''The San Francisco Standard'' has described BNN Breaking as \"a purported news website that somehow publishes hundreds articles per day from virtually every country on Earth.",
"\"===Fake news===In October 2023, BNN Breaking published three articles that were critical of San Francisco Supervisor Dean Preston, all of which contained misleading or false information.",
"One of the articles described Preston as \"arguably the most attention-seeking, spineless, and downright insufferable politician the city has ever seen.\"",
"The same article included a comment by BNN Breaking founder Gurbaksh Chahal which asserted that the network maintains a \"commitment to impartiality\".The first article included fake quotes attributed to Preston and the inaccurate claim that he had resigned from his District 5 office after a Twitter exchange with Elon Musk; an apparent error by the article's author Geetha Pillai in aggregating news that he had in fact left Twitter after Musk suggested he should be jailed and pledged $100,000 for a campaign to oust him from office.",
"This misinformation was then picked up by Microsoft's news aggregation site MSN.",
"The article was finally modified over 18 hours after it first went live to reflect that Preston's departure was from Twitter and not his political office.",
"However, it did not acknowledge that the correction had been made and retained multiple fake quotes attributed to Preston.",
"Gurbaksh Chahal also minimized the impact of the false claims made by BNN Breaking, describing it as a \"small oversight\" and \"a mistake that was promptly corrected\".",
"He then falsely claimed that Preston has not approached BNN Breaking for clarification, and accused him of \"leveraging the San Francisco Chronicle for a personal attack against me, the founder.",
"\"A second article blamed Preston's policies for a spike in homelessness between 2017 and 2019, despite the fact that he had only assumed office in mid-December 2019.A further article claimed that an effort to get Preston recalled from office had gathered enough signatures to be put on the ballot, although no such effort existed.",
"Preston responded to the incident by stating: \"People deserve reliable news sources, I sincerely hope that this is not a preview of what’s to come and that we never normalize this kind of disinformation.",
"\"On 11 October 2023, an article published by BNN Breaking featured an image of Irish broadcaster Dave Fanning alongside the headline that a prominent Irish broadcaster was on trial for alleged sexual misconduct.",
"The trial in question was unrelated to Fanning, and the article was taken down the day after it was published.",
"In January 2024, Fanning launched legal action against BNN Breaking for defamation.===Twitter suspension===In June 2022, Twitter permanently suspended BNN Breaking and all associated accounts, which had previously been verified by Twitter.",
"Despite being officially established in 2022, the BNN Breaking Twitter account @BNNBreaking dates back to 2015 and experienced a surge in followers during the COVID-19 pandemic starting in 2020.The account was previously owned by Netherlands-based BNO News, but was purchased and renamed by Chahal.",
"BNN Breaking had up to 80 associated accounts on Twitter by the time they were permanently suspended for violations of Twitter's policy on spam and platform manipulation.",
"Chahal accused Business Insider of \"engineering\" Twitter's enforcement of its policies against his company."

"Timeline of fish evolution"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The evolution of fishes took place over a timeline which spans the Cambrian to the Cenozoic, including during that time in particular the Devonian, which has been dubbed the \"age of fishes\" for the many changes during that period.The Late Devonian extinctions played a crucial role in shaping the evolution of fish, or vertebrates in general.",
"Fishes evolved during the Early Paleozoic; by the Devonian, all modern groups (Agnatha, Chondrichthyes, and Osteichthyes) were already present.",
"Devonian aquatic environments were also marked by placoderms and acanthodians, which are only known from fossils, however.",
"After suffering large losses during the Late Devonian extinctions, cartilaginous fishes (Chondrichthyes) and the Actinopterygii among the bony fishes (Osteichthyes) diversified.The sections below describe the pre-Devonian origin of fish, their Devonian radiation, including the conquest of land by early tetrapods, and the post-Devonian evolution of fishes."
],
[
"Pre Devonian: Origin of fish",
" Cambrian Cambrian (541–485 Ma): The beginning of the Cambrian was marked by the Cambrian explosion, the sudden appearance of nearly all of the invertebrate animal phyla (molluscs, jellyfish, worms and arthropods, such as crustaceans) in great abundance.",
"The first vertebrates appeared in the form of primitive fish, which were subsequently greatly diversified in the Silurian and Devonian.",
"140px ''Pikaia'' Although ''Pikaia'' is not actually \"first vertebrate\" or \"first fish\", this is still an important organism to show the early forms of chordates.",
"''Pikaia'' is a genus that appeared about 530 Ma during the Cambrian explosion of multicellular life.",
"It is traditionally considered as transitional fossil between invertebrates and vertebrates, and considered as stem-group chordate in 2012.It was a primitive creature with no evidence of eyes, without a well defined head, and less than 2 inches (5 centimetres) long.",
"''Pikaia'' was a sideways-flattened, leaf-shaped animal that swam by throwing its body into a series of S-shaped, zig-zag curves, similar to movement of snakes.",
"Fish inherited the same swimming movement, but they generally have stiffer backbones.",
"It had a pair of large head tentacles and a series of short appendages, which may be linked to gill slits, on either side of its head.",
"The flattened body is divided into pairs of segmented muscle blocks, seen as faint vertical lines.",
"The muscles lie on either side of a flexible structure resembling a rod that runs from the tip of the head to the tip of the tail.",
"140px ''Haikouichthys'' ''Haikouichthys'' ''(fish from Haikou)'' is a genus that also appears in the fossil record about 530 Ma, and marks the transition from invertebrate to vertebrates.",
"''Haikouichthys'' is craniates (animals with backbones and distinct heads).",
"Unlike ''Pikaia'', they had eyes.",
"They also had a defined skull and other characteristics that have led paleontologists to label it a true craniate, and even to be popularly characterized as one of the earliest fishes.",
"Cladistic analysis indicates that the animal is probably a basal chordate or a basal craniate; but it does not possess sufficient features to be included uncontroversially even in either stem group.",
"140px ''Myllokunmingia'' ''Myllokunmingia'' is a genus that appeared about 530 Ma.",
"It is a chordate, and it has been argued that it is a vertebrate, It is 28 mm long and 6 mm high, and is among the oldest possible craniates.",
"140px Conodont Conodonts ''(cone-teeth)'' resembled primitive eels.",
"They appeared 495 Ma and were wiped out 200 Ma.",
"Initially they were known only from tooth-like microfossils called ''conodont elements''.",
"These \"teeth\" have been variously interpreted as filter-feeding apparatuses or as a \"grasping and crushing array\".",
"Conodonts ranged in length from a centimeter to the 40 cm ''Promissum''.",
"Their large eyes had a lateral position of which makes a predatory role unlikely.",
"The preserved musculature hints that some conodonts (''Promissum'' at least) were efficient cruisers but incapable of bursts of speed.",
"In 2012 researchers classify the conodonts in the phylum Chordata on the basis of their fins with fin rays, chevron-shaped muscles and notochord.",
"Some researchers see them as vertebrates similar in appearance to modern hagfish and lampreys, though phylogenetic analysis suggests that they are more derived than either of these groups.",
"140px Ostracoderms Ostracoderms ''(shell-skinned)'' are any of several groups of extinct, primitive, jawless fishes that were covered in an armour of bony plates.",
"They appeared in the Cambrian, about 510 million years ago, and became extinct towards the end of the Devonian, about 377 million years ago.",
"Initially Ostracoderms had poorly formed fins, and paired fins, or limbs, first evolved within this group.",
"They were covered with a bony armour or scales and were often less than long.",
"Ordov-ician Ordovician (485–443 Ma): Fish, the world's first true vertebrates, continued to evolve, and those with jaws (Gnathostomata) may have first appeared late in this period.",
"Life had yet to diversify on land.",
"140px ''Arandaspis'' ''Arandaspis'' are jawless fish that lived in the early Ordovician period, about 480–470 Ma.",
"It was about long, with a streamlined body covered in rows of knobbly armoured scutes.",
"The front of the body and the head were protected by hard plates with openings for the eyes, nostrils and gills.",
"Although it was jawless, ''Arandaspis'' might have had some moveable plates in its mouth, serving as lips, sucking in food particles.",
"The low position of its mouth suggests it foraged the ocean floor.",
"It is not known how its trunk and caudal fin looked like.",
"110px ''Astraspis'' ''Astraspis'' ''(star shield)'' is an extinct genus of primitive jawless fish related to other Ordovician fishes, such as ''Sacabambaspis'' and ''Arandaspis''.",
"Fossils show clear evidence of a sensory structure (lateral line system).",
"The arrangement of these organs in regular lines allows the fish to detect the direction and distance from which a disturbance in the water is coming.",
"''Arandaspis'' are thought to have had a mobile tail covered with small protective plates and a head region covered with larger plates.",
"A specimen described by Sansom ''et al.''",
"had relatively large, lateral eyes and a series of eight gill openings on each side.",
"140px Pteraspidomorphi Pteraspidomorphi is an extinct class of early jawless fish.",
"The fossils show extensive shielding of the head.",
"Many had hypocercal tails to generate lift to increase ease of movement through the water for their armoured bodies, which were covered in dermal bone.",
"They also had sucking mouth parts and some species may have lived in fresh water.",
"125px Thelodonts Thelodonts ''(nipple teeth)'' are a class of small, extinct jawless fishes with distinctive scales instead of large plates of armour.",
"There is debate over whether these represent a monophyletic grouping, or disparate stem groups to the major lines of jawless and jawed fish.",
"Thelodonts are united by their characteristic \"thelodont scales\".",
"This defining character is not necessarily a result of shared ancestry, as it may have been evolved independently by different groups.",
"Thus the thelodonts are generally thought to represent a polyphyletic group.",
"If they are monophyletic, there is no firm evidence on what their ancestral state was.",
"These scales were easily dispersed after death; their small size and resilience makes them the most common vertebrate fossil of their time.",
"The fish lived in both freshwater and marine environments, first appearing during the Ordovician, and perishing during the Frasnian–Famennian extinction event of the Late Devonian.",
"They were predominantly deposit-feeding bottom dwellers, although some species may have been pelagic.",
"The Ordovician ended with the Ordovician–Silurian extinction event (450–440 Ma).",
"Two events occurred that killed off 27% of all families, 57% of all genera and 60% to 70% of all species.",
"Together they are ranked by many scientists as the second largest of the five major extinctions in Earth's history in terms of percentage of genera that became extinct.",
"Silurian Silurian (443–419 Ma): Many evolutionary milestones occurred during this period, including the appearance of armoured jawless fish, jawed fish, spiny sharks and ray-finned fish.",
"140px While it is traditional to refer to the Devonian as the age of fishes, recent findings have shown the Silurian was also a period of considerable diversification.",
"Jawed fish developed movable jaws, adapted from the supports of the front two or three gill arches 140px Anaspida Anaspida ''(without shield)'' is an extinct class of primitive jawless vertebrates that lived during the Silurian and Devonian periods.",
"Anaspids were small, primarily marine agnathans that lacked heavy bony shield and paired fins, but have highly exaggerated hypocercal tails.",
"They first appeared in the Early Silurian, and flourished until the Late Devonian extinction, where most species, save for lampreys, became extinct.",
"Unusually for an agnathan, anaspids did not possess a bony shield or armour.",
"The head is instead covered in an array of smaller, weakly mineralised scales.",
"140px Osteostraci Osteostraci (\"bony shields\") was a class of bony-armored jawless fish that lived from the Middle Silurian to Late Devonian.",
"Anatomically speaking, the osteostracans, especially the Devonian species, were among the most advanced of all known agnathans.",
"This is due to the development of paired fins, and their complicated cranial anatomy.",
"The osteostracans were more similar to lampreys than to jawed vertebrates in possessing two pairs of semicircular canals in the inner ear, as opposed to the three pairs found in the inner ears of jawed vertebrates.",
"Most osteostracans had a massive cephalothorac shield, but all Middle and Late Devonian species appear to have had a reduced, thinner, and often micromeric dermal skeleton.",
"They were probably relatively good swimmers, possessing dorsal fins, paired pectoral fins, and a strong tail.",
"140px Spiny sharks Spiny sharks, more formally called \"Acanthodians\" ''(having spines)'', constitute the class Acanthodii.",
"They first appeared by the late Silurian ~420 Ma, and were among the first fishes to evolve jaws.",
"They share features with both cartilaginous fish and bony fish, but they are not true sharks, though leading to them.",
"They became extinct before the end of the Permian ~250 Ma.",
"However, scales and teeth attributed to this group, as well as more derived jawed fish, such as cartilaginous and bony fish, date from the Ordovician ~460 Ma.",
"Acanthodians were generally small shark-like fishes varying from toothless filter-feeders to toothed predators.",
"They were once often classified as an order of the class Placodermi, but recent authorities tend to place the acanthodians as a paraphyletic assemblage leading to modern cartilaginous fish.",
"They are distinguished in two respects: they were the earliest known jawed vertebrates, and they had stout spines supporting all their fins, fixed in place and non-movable (like a shark's dorsal fin), an important defensive adaptation.",
"Their fossils are extremely rare.",
"140px Placoderms Placoderms, ''(plate-like skin)'', are a group of armoured jawed fishes, of the class Placodermi.",
"The oldest fossils appeared during the late Silurian, and became extinct at the end of the Devonian.",
"Recent studies suggest that the placoderms are possibly a paraphyletic group of basal jawed fishes, and the closest relatives of all living jawed vertebrates.",
"Some placoderms were small, flattened bottom-dwellers, such as antiarchs.",
"However many, particularly the arthrodires, were active midwater predators.",
"''Dunkleosteus'', which appeared later in the Devonian below, was the largest and most famous of these.",
"The upper jaw was firmly fused to the skull, but there was a hinge joint between the skull and the bony plating of the trunk region.",
"This allowed the upper part of the head to be thrown back and, in arthrodires, allowed them to take larger bites.",
"140px ''Megamastax'' ''Megamastax'', ''(big mouth)'', is a genus of lobe-finned fish which lived during the late Silurian period, about 423 million years ago, in China.",
"Before the discovery of ''Megamastax'', it was thought that jawed vertebrates (gnathostomes) were limited in size and variation before the Devonian period.",
"''Megamastax'' is known only from jaw bones and it is estimated that it reached about long.",
"140px ''Guiyu oneiros'' ''Guiyu oneiros'', the earliest known bony fish.",
"It has the combination of both ray-finned and lobe-finned features, although analysis of the totality of its features place it closer to lobe-finned fish.",
"''Andreolepis'' The extinct genus ''Andreolepis'' includes the earliest known ray finned fish ''Andreolepis hedei'', which appeared in the late Silurian, around 420 Ma."

[
"Devonian: Age of fishes",
"The Devonian period is broken into the Early, Middle and Late stages.",
"By the start of the Early Devonian 419 mya, jawed fishes had divided into four distinct clades: the placoderms and spiny sharks, both of which are now extinct, and the cartilaginous and bony fishes, both of which are still extant.",
"The modern bony fish, class Osteichthyes, appeared in the late Silurian or early Devonian, about 416 million years ago.",
"Both the cartilaginous and bony fish may have arisen from either the placoderms or the spiny sharks.",
"A subclass of bony fish, the ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii), have become the dominant group in the post-Paleozoic and modern world, with some 30,000 living species.Sea levels in the Devonian were generally high.",
"Marine faunas were dominated by bryozoa, diverse and abundant brachiopods, the enigmatic hederelloids, microconchids and corals.",
"Lily-like crinoids were abundant, and trilobites were still fairly common.",
"Among vertebrates, jawless armoured fish (ostracoderms) declined in diversity, while the jawed fish (gnathostomes) simultaneously increased in both the sea and fresh water.",
"Armoured placoderms were numerous during the lower stages of the Devonian Period but became extinct in the Late Devonian, perhaps because of competition for food against the other fish species.",
"Early cartilaginous (Chondrichthyes) and bony fish (Osteichthyes) also become diverse and played a large role within the Devonian seas.",
"The first abundant genus of shark, ''Cladoselache'', appeared in the oceans during the Devonian Period.",
"The great diversity of fish around at the time have led to the Devonian being given the name \"The Age of Fish\" in popular culture.The first ray-finned and lobe-finned bony fish appeared in the Devonian, while the placoderms began dominating almost every known aquatic environment.",
"However, another subclass of Osteichthyes, the Sarcopterygii, including lobe-finned fish including coelacanths and lungfish) and tetrapods, was the most diverse group of bony fish in the Devonian.",
"Sarcopterygians are basally characterized by internal nostrils, lobe fins containing a robust internal skeleton, and cosmoid scales.During the Middle Devonian 393–383 Ma, the armoured jawless ostracoderm fish were declining in diversity; the jawed fish were thriving and increasing in diversity in both the oceans and freshwater.",
"The shallow, warm, oxygen-depleted waters of Devonian inland lakes, surrounded by primitive plants, provided the environment necessary for certain early fish to develop essential characteristics such as well developed lungs and the ability to crawl out of the water and onto the land for short periods of time.",
"Cartilaginous fish, class Chondrichthyes, consisting of sharks, rays and chimaeras, appeared by about 395 million years ago, in the middle DevonianDuring the Late Devonian the first forests were taking shape on land.",
"The first tetrapods appear in the fossil record over a period, the beginning and end of which are marked with extinction events.",
"This lasted until the end of the Devonian 359 mya.",
"The ancestors of all tetrapods began adapting to walking on land, their strong pectoral and pelvic fins gradually evolved into legs (see ''Tiktaalik'').",
"In the oceans, primitive sharks became more numerous than in the Silurian and the late Ordovician.",
"The first ammonite mollusks appeared.",
"Trilobites, the mollusk-like brachiopods and the great coral reefs, were still common.The Late Devonian extinction occurred at the beginning of the last phase of the Devonian period, the Famennian faunal stage, (the Frasnian-Famennian boundary), about Ma.",
"Many fossil agnathan fish, save for the psammosteid heterostracans, make their last appearance shortly before this event.",
"The Late Devonian extinction crisis primarily affected the marine community, and selectively affected shallow warm-water organisms rather than cool-water organisms.",
"The most important group affected by this extinction event were the reef-builders of the great Devonian reef-systems.A second extinction pulse, the Hangenberg event closed the Devonian period and had a dramatic impact on vertebrate faunas.",
"Placoderms mostly became extinct during this event, as did most members of other groups including lobe-finned fish, acanthodians and early tetrapods in both marine and terrestrial habitats, leaving only a handful of survivors.",
"This event has been related to glaciation in the temperate and polar zones as well as euxinia and anoxia in the seas.",
"Devonian (419–359 mya): The start of Devonian saw the first appearance of lobe-finned fish, precursors to the tetrapods (animals with four limbs).",
"Major groups of fish evolved during this period, often referred to as the '''age of fish'''.",

"Fossils of ''Psarolepis'' have been found mainly in South China and described by paleontologist Xiaobo Yu in 1998.It is not known for certain which group ''Psarolepis'' belongs to, but paleontologists agree that it is close to the common ancestor of lobe-finned and ray-finned fishes.",
"140px ''Holoptychius'' ''Holoptychius'' is an extinct genus from the order of porolepiform lobe-finned fish, extant from 416 to 359 Ma.",
"It was a streamlined predator about long (though it could grow up to 2.5 m), which fed on other bony fish.",
"Its rounded scales and body form indicate that it could have swum quickly through the water to catch prey.",
"Similar to other rhipidistians, it had fang-like teeth on its palate in addition to smaller teeth on the jaws.",
"Its asymmetrical tail sported a caudal fin on its lower end.",
"To compensate for the downward push caused by this fin placement, ''Holoptychius''s pectoral fins were placed high on the body.",
"100px Ptyctodontida The ptyctodontids (''beak-teeth'') are an extinct monotypic order of unarmored placoderms, containing only one family.",
"They were extant from the start to the end of the Devonian.",
"With their big heads, big eyes, and long bodies, the ptyctodontids bore a strong resemblance to modern day chimaeras (Holocephali).",
"Their armor was reduced to a pattern of small plates around the head and neck.",
"Like the extinct and related acanthothoracids, and the living and unrelated holocephalians, most of the ptyctodontids are thought to have lived near the sea bottom and preyed on shellfish.",
"100px Petalichthyida The Petalichthyida was an order of small, flattened placoderms that existed from the beginning of the Devonian to the Late Devonian.",
"They were typified by splayed fins and numerous tubercles that decorated all of the plates and scales of their armour.",
"They reached a peak in diversity during the Early Devonian and were found throughout the world.",
"Because they had compressed body forms, it is supposed they were bottom-dwellers that chased after or ambushed smaller fish.",
"Their diet is not clear, as none of the fossil specimens found have preserved mouth parts.",
"100px ''Laccognathus'' ''Laccognathus'' ''(pitted jaw)'' was a genus of amphibious lobe-finned fish that existed 398–360 Ma.",
"They were characterized by the three large pits (fossae) on the external surface of the lower jaw, which may have had sensory functions.",
"''Laccognathus'' grew to in length.",
"They had very short dorsoventrally flattened heads, less than one-fifth the length of the body.",
"The skeleton was structured so large areas of skin were stretched over solid plates of bone.",
"This bone was composed of particularly dense fibers – so dense that exchange of oxygen through the skin was unlikely.",
"Rather, the dense ossifications served to retain water inside the body as ''Laccognathus'' traveled on land between bodies of water.",
"MiddleDevonian Middle Devonian (393–383 Ma): Cartilaginous fish, consisting of sharks, rays and chimaeras, appeared about 395 Ma.",
"140px ''Cheirolepis'' ''Cheirolepis'' ''(hand fin)'' was a genus of ray-finned fishes.",
"It was among the most basal of the Devonian ray-finned fish and is considered the first to possess the \"standard\" dermal cranial bones seen in later ray-finned fish.",
"It was a predatory freshwater fish about long, and based on the size of its eyes it hunted by sight.",
"140px ''Coccosteus'' ''Coccosteus'' ''(seed bone)'' is an extinct genus of arthrodire placoderm.",
"The majority of fossils have been found in freshwater sediments, though they may have been able to enter saltwater.",
"They grew up to long.",
"Like all other arthrodires, ''Coccosteus'' had a joint between the armour of the body and skull.",
"It also had an internal joint between its neck vertebrae and the back of the skull, allowing it to open its mouth even wider.",
"Along with the longer jaws, this allowed ''Coccosteus'' to feed on fairly large prey.",
"As with all other arthrodires, ''Coccosteus'' had bony dental plates embedded in its jaws, forming a beak.",
"The beak was kept sharp by having the edges of the dental plates grind away at each other.",
"120px ''Bothriolepis'' ''Bothriolepis'' ''(pitted scale)'' was the most successful genus of antiarch placoderms, if not the most successful genus of any placoderm, with over 100 species spread across Middle to Late Devonian strata across every continent.",
"80px Pituriaspida Pituriaspida ''(hallucinogenic shield)'' is a class containing two bizarre species of armoured jawless fish with tremendous nose-like rostrums.",
"They lived in estuaries around 390 Ma.",
"The paleontologist Gavin Young, named the class after the hallucinogenic drug pituri, since he thought he might be hallucinating upon viewing the bizarre forms.",
"The better studied species looked like a throwing-dart-like, with an elongate headshield and spear-like rostrum.",
"The other species looked like a guitar pick with a tail, with a smaller and shorter rostrum and a more triangular headshield.",
"Late Devonian extinction: 375–360 Ma.",

"It had a very weak jaw joint compared with modern-day sharks, but it compensated for that with very strong jaw-closing muscles.",
"Its teeth were multi-cusped and smooth-edged, making them suitable for grasping, but not tearing or chewing.",
"''Cladoselache'' therefore probably seized prey by the tail and swallowed it whole.",
"It had powerful keels that extended onto the side of the tail stalk and a semi-lunate tail fin, with the superior lobe about the same size as the inferior.",

"Fish to tetrapods",
"A cladogram of the evolution of tetrapods showing some of the best-known transitional fossils.",
"It starts with ''Eusthenopteron'' at the bottom, indisputably still a fish, through ''Panderichthys'', ''Tiktaalik'', ''Acanthostega'' and ''Ichthyostega'' to ''Pederpes'' at the top, indisputably a tetrapod From fins to limbsThe first tetrapods are four-legged, air-breathing, terrestrial animals from which the land vertebrates descended, including humans.",
"They evolved from lobe-finned fish of the clade Sarcopterygii, appearing in coastal water in the middle Devonian, and giving rise to the first amphibians.The group of lobe-finned fishes that were the ancestors of the tetrapod are grouped together as the Rhipidistia, and the first tetrapods evolved from these fish over the relatively short timespan 385–360 Ma.",
"The early tetrapod groups themselves are grouped as Labyrinthodontia.",
"They retained aquatic, fry-like tadpoles, a system still seen in modern amphibians.",
"From the 1950s to the early 1980s it was thought that tetrapods evolved from fish that had already acquired the ability to crawl on land, possibly so they could go from a pool that was drying out to one that was deeper.",
"However, in 1987, nearly complete fossils of ''Acanthostega'' from about showed that this Late Devonian transitional animal had legs and both lungs and gills, but could never have survived on land: its limbs and its wrist and ankle joints were too weak to bear its weight; its ribs were too short to prevent its lungs from being squeezed flat by its weight; its fish-like tail fin would have been damaged by dragging on the ground.",
"The current hypothesis is that ''Acanthostega'', which was about long, was a wholly aquatic predator that hunted in shallow water.",
"Its skeleton differed from that of most fish, in ways that enabled it to raise its head to breathe air while its body remained submerged, including: its jaws show modifications that would have enabled it to gulp air; the bones at the back of its skull are locked together, providing strong attachment points for muscles that raised its head; the head is not joined to the shoulder girdle and it has a distinct neck.Until the 1980s early transitional lobe-finned fishes, such as the ''Eusthenopteron'' shown here, were depicted as emerging onto land.",
"Paleontologists now widely agree this did not happen, and they were strictly aquatic.The Devonian proliferation of land plants may help to explain why air-breathing would have been an advantage: leaves falling into streams and rivers would have encouraged the growth of aquatic vegetation; this would have attracted grazing invertebrates and small fish that preyed on them; they would have been attractive prey but the environment was unsuitable for the big marine predatory fish; air-breathing would have been necessary because these waters would have been short of oxygen, since warm water holds less dissolved oxygen than cooler marine water and since the decomposition of vegetation would have used some of the oxygen.There are three major hypotheses as to how tetrapods evolved their stubby fins (proto-limbs).",
"The traditional explanation is the \"shrinking waterhole hypothesis\" or \"desert hypothesis\" posited by the American paleontologist Alfred Romer.",
"He believed limbs and lungs may have evolved from the necessity of having to find new bodies of water as old waterholes dried up.The second hypothesis is the \"inter-tidal hypothesis\" put forward in 2010 by a team of Polish paleontologists led by Grzegorz Niedźwiedzki.",
"They argued that sarcopterygians may have first emerged unto land from intertidal zones rather than inland bodies of water.",
"Their hypothesis is based on the discovery of the 395 million-year-old Zachełmie tracks in Zachełmie, Poland, the oldest ever discovered fossil evidence of tetrapods.The third hypothesis, the \"woodland hypothesis\", was proposed by the American paleontologist Gregory J. Retallack in 2011.He argues that limbs may have developed in shallow bodies of water in woodlands as a means of navigating in environments filled with roots and vegetation.",
"He based his conclusions on the evidence that transitional tetrapod fossils are consistently found in habitats that were formerly humid and wooded floodplains.Research by Jennifer A. Clack and her colleagues showed that the very earliest tetrapods, animals similar to ''Acanthostega'', were wholly aquatic and quite unsuited to life on land.",
"This is in contrast to the earlier view that fish had first invaded the land — either in search of prey (like modern mudskippers) or to find water when the pond they lived in dried out — and later evolved legs, lungs, etc.Two ideas about the homology of arms, hands and digits have existed in the past 130 years.",
"First that digits are unique to tetrapods and second that antecedents were present in the fins of early sarcopterygian fish.",
"Until recently it was believed that \"genetic and fossil data support the hypothesis that digits are evolutionary novelties\".p.",
"640.However new research that created a three-dimensional reconstruction of Panderichthys, a coastal fish from the Devonian period 385 million years ago, shows that these animals already had many of the homologous bones present in the forelimbs of limbed vertebrates.",
"For example, they had radial bones similar to rudimentary fingers but positioned in the arm-like base of their fins.",
"Thus there was in the evolution of tetrapods a shift such that the outermost part of the fins were lost and eventually replaced by early digits.",
"This change is consistent with additional evidence from the study of actinopterygians, sharks and lungfish that the digits of tetrapods arose from pre-existing distal radials present in more primitive fish.",
"Controversy still exists since Tiktaalik, a vertebrate often considered the missing link between fishes and land-living animals, had stubby leg-like limbs that lacked the finger-like radial bones found in the Panderichthys.",
"The researchers of the paper commented that it \"is difficult to say whether this character distribution implies that Tiktaalik is autapomorphic, that Panderichthys and tetrapods are convergent, or that Panderichthys is closer to tetrapods than Tiktaalik.",
"At any rate, it demonstrates that the fish–tetrapod transition was accompanied by significant character incongruence in functionally important structures.\".p.",
"638.From the end of the Devonian to the Mid Carboniferous a 30 million year gap occurs in the fossil record.",
