Mas'ala fi Tawhid al-FalasifaIbn Taimiya

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
All praise is due to Allah, who sent down His Book in manifest truth. Blessings and peace be upon His truthful and trustworthy Prophet, upon his pure and immaculate family, his illustrious and noble Companions, and upon all who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment.

To proceed:
This is a newly uncovered work by Shaykh al-Islam Taqi al-Din Ahmad ibn ʿAbd al-Ḥalim ibn Taymiyyah—may Allah shower his grave with copious mercy and lodge him in the highest chambers of Paradise—written as a refutation of the philosophers’ falsehoods. He was prolific in rebutting them: in Al-Ṣafadiyya he rejected their claim that the prophets’ miracles are merely psychic powers and their assertion that the universe is eternal; in Darʾ Taʿāruḍ al-ʿAql wa al-Naql he debated them over the affirmation of the Necessary Being, His attributes, and His actions; and in Naqd al-Manṭiq he addressed the hereafter and their denial of bodily resurrection (1). The present treatise is yet another round in that engagement, devoted specifically to discussing their theories and exposing their deviation in monotheism.

This epistle remained for a long time on the shelves of manuscript collections until Allah facilitated

(1) These are only samples of the chief questions treated in those books; in reality, some of them deal with more than one issue, and further discussions appear in his other works—such as Minhaj al-Sunnah al-Nabawiyya, al-Jawab al-Sahih, the treatise Masalat Huduth al-Alam, and in his scattered replies later gathered in the collection known as Majmu al-Fatawa.
﷽ الحمد لله الذي أنزل كتابه بالحق المبين، والصلاة والسلام على نبيه الصادق الأمين، وعلى آله الطيبين الطاهرين، وصحبه الغُرِّ الميامين، ومن اتبعهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين. وبعد: فهذا أثرٌ جديد لشيخ الإسلام تقي الدين أحمد بن عبد الحليم بن تيمية - أفاضَ الله على قبره وابلًا من الرضوان وأحلَّه أعالِيَ غُرفِ الجِنان - في رده على أباطيل الفلاسفة، وهو مكثِر من الرد عليهم، ففي الصفدية رد قولهم: إن معجزات الأنبياء قوى نفسانية، وقولهم بقِدم العالم، وفي درء تعارض العقل والنقل ناقشهم في إثبات واجب الوجود وصفاته وأفعاله، وفي نقض المنطق تناول المعاد ونفيهم للمعاد الجسماني (١). وهذا الكتاب جولة من جولاته معهم خصصه لمناقشتهم وكشف زيغهم في التوحيد. وقد ظلت هذه الرسالة في رفوف المخطوطات طويلًا حتى يسر الله
(١) هذه نماذج لأبرز القضايا التي تناولتها هذه الكتب، وإلا ففي بعضها قد يناقش أكثر من قضية، وفي كتبه الأخرى مناقشات لهم؛ كـ"منهاج السنة النبوية"، و"الجواب الصحيح"، ورسالة "مسألة حدوث العالم"، وفي أجوبته المبثوثة في المجموع المعروف بـ "مجموع الفتاوى".
