| Zusammenfassung: | "This short theological tract, 'Fī Nafi al-Jiha', or 'On Danying Direction to God', by the Ashʻari theologian and celebrated Shafiʻi jurist, Qadi Ibn Jahbal (d. 733/1333), is a clinical rebuttal of the controversial 'fatwa', the 'ʻAqida Hamawiyya', penned by his legendary contemporary, Ibn Taymiyya (d. 728/1328). It is considered, rightly, a classic manifesto of anti-literalism, which will be an indispensable reference for advanced students of Islamic theology, other professional theologians, and modern academics needing primary source materials in English or a source book on the controversies surrounding Ibn Taymiyya's theology. This same work embodies, moreover, a contemporary exercise in polemic representing the longstanding views in the conformist tradition of Muslim theology, whether via 'taʼwil' or 'tafwid', and whether in the schools of the Ashʻaris, Maturidis or Hanbalis. In particular, it pits itself against one of the two opposite non-conformist readings of the Qurʼan and Sunna; and in general, it highlights the pitfalls of a literalistic mindset which plagues all scripturally-based religions"--Muhammad Afifi al-Akiti, p.
