Daf' Shubah al-Tashbh is a critique, censure, and refutation of the historical anthropomorphic leanings of some of the Hanbali scholars and learned. At the same time, it is a vindication of Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal from the accusations of the anthropomorphism as well as the claim by some Hanbalis, that he adopted anthropomorphic beliefs, similar to theirs.

| ... a scholarly translation of Ibn al-Jawzi's critical examination of sixty Islamic traditions that were at the center of an intense debate concerning the nature of God. Finely annotated by Shaykh Abdullah bin Hamid Ali, this work introduces the reader to the intricacies of twelfth-century Islamic theological reasoning--reasoning that provides a basis for the critical elaboration of Islamic theology even in our times. A valuable appendix highlights and elaborates on the figurative interpretation of the Quran by early Muslim scholars; thus providing |
