  • most renowned Islamic theologians?
     OP - November 03, 2010, 10:36 PM

    Some of you here I believe were well-learned in Islamic schools of thought. Who are the most renowned Islamic theologians? What are the Magnum Opera of Islamic theology?

    So far I know of al-Wahhab and his Kitab-al-Tauhid, Imam Ghazali and his Incoherence of the Philosophers and Imam Tahawi and Aqeedah at Tahawi.

     Cheesy Zakir Nalaik... Seriously though, he has a huge following. Most desis are in awe of him. But I never understood why? Huh? Even a third-grader can use better logic.

    Although historically, I think its Ibn tamiyyah and Al-Ghazali; and more recently Madudi and Kutb.

    Well, there's the Sahaba and Tabi'oon scholars like Ibn 'Abbas, Ibn Mas'ud, Mujahid, Qatadah, etc.

    There's also obviously the four Imams: al-Shafi'i, Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, Abu Hanifa and Malik.

    Then there's the medieval scholars, jurists and muhaddiths: Ibn Taymiyya, Ibn al-Qayyum, al-Dhahabi, Ibn Kathir, al-Suyuti, Zamkhshari, al-Tabari, al-Qurtubi, Fakhr al-Deen al-Razi, etc.

    Then there's more modern scholars like Maududi, Taqi Usmani, Sayyid Qutb, Shabir Ahmad Usmani, etc.

    Just Google them if you wanna find out about their books.

    I don't think zakir could be considered a theologian due to his ability to lie through his teeth, create unjustified connections among verses and distort verses to suit his arguments, as demonstrated time after time.......on second thoughts, zakir is theologian.

    Not directly connected, but Tafsir - Ibn Kathir provides some useful commentary on the Quran.

    Okay, so just from Imam al-Qurtubi's tafseer:

    On 2:190-193

    As for apostates, the only options available concerning them are execution or repentance. -- p. 493

    After this, the Prophet fought those who fought him and refrained from those who refrained from fighting him until the ayat in Surat al-Taubah (9:5) was revealed, "Fight the Idolaters,' and this ayat was abrogated. This is the position of the majority of scholars. -- pp. 490-491

    It is said that it means 'do not fight those who do not fight.' In that case, it would be abrogated by the command to fight all unbelievers, and Allah knows best. -- p. 493

    This is a command to fight every idolater in every place according to those who say it abrogates the previous ayats. According to those who say it does not abrogate the other ayats, it means: 'fight those about whom Allah says "If they fight you."' The former is the more likely meaning. It is an unqualified command to fight without any precondition of hostilities being initiated by the unbelievers. The evidence in that is in the words "And the Deen belongs to Allah alone." -- p. 496

    On 2:256:

    It is said that it is abrogated as the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, forced the Arabs to adopt the Deen of Islam and fought with them and was only pleased with Islam for them. Sulayman Ibn Musa took that view saying that it is abrogated by 9:73. That is related from Ibn Mas'ud and many commentators. -- p. 659

    It is said that it is not abrogated and was to be applied to the People of the Book who had to pay Jizyah instead of adopting Islam. Those who are forced are the Idolaters. -- p. 659

    "No compulsion" was abrogated and the Prophet was commanded to fight the People of the Book in Surat al-Taubah. -- p. 661

    Ibn Arabi, not for nothing is he known as sheikh-al-akbar.
