ABSTRACT
There has been a growing academic interest within both the Islamic and the Western worlds in Sheikh al-Islam Aåmad b. ‘Abd al-Åaljm Ibn Taymiyyah (661-728/1263-1328), which covers a variety of subjects. This academic interest comes as a result of the fact that Ibn Taymiyyah is acknowledged to remain today to be one of the scholars who have had the greatest influence on contemporary Islam, particularly in Sunni circles.1
