The Asfahaniyya according to Ibn Taymiyya:

When the foundations of Islam are, for some theologians, based on a partially or totally rationalist teaching and for others, they are based on a traditionalist teaching, whose references are the Koran and the sunnah and the consensus of pious predecessors , the difference sometimes turns out to be obvious and categorical.

The work that we are presenting illustrates the meeting of two teachings. One represented by the speculative theologian al-Asfahânî (616/688 h), author of this treatise on the pillars of faith and the other by the traditionalist theologian Ibn Taymiyya (661/728 h), author of the commentary on the treatise .

This book is divided into several parts, as follows:

• Divine uniqueness.
• Divine unity (non-composition).
• Science and divine power.
• The divine life.
• The divine will.
• The divine word.
• Hearing and divine sight.
• The prophetic mission.
• The grave and the resurrection.
• Arabic text of the Asfahâniyya.
