Ibn Taymiyya was a Sunni Muslim scholar known for his efforts in ending Mongol invasions through legal jurisprudence. He opposed folk practices related to saint veneration, leading to conflicts with rulers and scholars. He engaged in religious debates, criticizing theological schools like Ash’arism and Maturidism while supporting Atharism. His works promoting creedal Salafism and criticizing philosophy’s role in religious truth have influenced later Salafi movements and Islamist ideologies.
