Reflection on a Statement of Shaikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah By Shaikh Abdur Razzaq Al-Badr

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Imam As-Sadi, may Allah have mercy upon him, said that Shaikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

Whoever accepts the statements of the atheists is one of two men: either he is ignorant of their reality or he is a wrong doer who desires haughtiness and corruption in the earth, or he is one who combines  both traits. This was the trait of the followers of Fir’awn about whom Allaah said:

فاستخف قومه فأطاعوه إنهم كانوا قوما فاسقين

Thus he [Fir’aun] befooled and misled his people, and they obeyed him. Verily, they were ever a people who were Fasiqun [rebellious, disobedient to Allah]]. [Az-Zukhruf. 54]

Shaikh Abdur Razzaq Al-Badr, may Allah preserve him, said:

It is not possible for a sensible person to accept the statements of these people because their corruption is very clear. Therefore,  none accepts their statements except either a person who is unaware of their reality, rather he only hears adorned speech because the atheists plot through beautified speech, thus an ignorant person is deceived; or he is a wrong doer who knows that the atheists are upon falsehood but he desires haughtiness and corruption in the earth, or he is one who combines both traits.
