The Murji'ah Misqoute Scholars to Support Their Cause [Part 18]

What is peculiar is that some of the latter Murji'ah try and support their beliefs by misquoting Ibn Taymiyyah. His stance towards to them was unyielding as it appears in more than one occasion within his works. Let's take the example of the one abandons the prayer, according to Ibn Taymiyyah, this person would become a disbeliever[1] but not with the Murji’ah.

He also stated upon the Statement of the Most High: 
      
They (hypocrites) say: "We have believed in Allah and in the Messenger (Muhammad  ), and we obey," then a party of them turn away thereafter, such are not believers.” [an-Noor 24:47]

“That al-Emaan is nullified by those who reject the religion, even if this was by a statement they uttered. Therefore, the Quraan and the Sunnah has extensive proofs that al-Emaan is nullified for those who fail to practice in its entirety, such as the hypocrites who have their belief negated completely within the texts. Likewise the one who firmly believes in his heart but does not practice and there appears no apparent belief in his statements or actions, then this person can never be labelled as a believer[2]”. End quote.
