Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya and the Divine AttributesRationalized Traditionalistic TheologySeries: Islamic Philosophy, Theology and Science. Texts and Studies, Volume: 104Author: Miriam OvadiaIn Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya and the Divine Attributes Miriam Ovadia offers a thorough discussion on the hermeneutical methodology applied in the theology of the Ḥanbalite traditionalistic scholar Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (d. 1350), the most prominent disciple of the renowned Ibn Taymiyya (d. 1328). Focusing on Ibn al-Qayyim's voluminous - yet so far understudied - work on anthropomorphism, al-Ṣawāʿiq al-Mursala, Ovadia explores his modus operandi in his attack on four fundamental rationalistic convictions, while demonstrating Ibn al-Qayyim's systemization of the Taymiyyan theological doctrine and theoretical discourse. Contextualizing al-Ṣawāʿiq with relevant writings of thinkers who preceded Ibn al-Qayyim, Ovadia unfolds his employment of Kalāmic terminology and argumentations; thus, his rationalized-traditionalistic authoring of a theological manifesto directed against his contemporary Ashʿarite elite of Mamluk Damascus.Contents  Acknowledgments Note on Transliteration and Translation Ibn al-Qayyim’s al-Ṣawāʿiq: A Hostile Response to RationalismPages: 1–21 The Scholarly Setting of Mamluk Damascus: al-Ṣawāʿiq’s BirthplacePages: 22–52 A Stroke of Lightning: al-Ṣawāʿiq in Ibn al-Qayyim’s Theological WritingPages: 53–113 First ṭāghūt Refutation: The Islamic Scriptures Produce Certain KnowledgePages: 114–174 Second ṭāghūt Refutation: Revelation is the Provenance of KnowledgePages: 175–198 Third ṭāghūt Refutation: Undermining the Theoretical Basis of majāzPages: 199–265 Fourth ṭāghūt Refutation: Hadith Literature Produces CertaintyPages: 266–290 ConclusionsPages: 291–295 Toggle Tree NodeBack Matter Bibliography
