Review:
A concise explanation of the ‘aqeedah of Ahlus-Sunnah in the muhabbah (love) of Allaah. From the chief distorters of this attribute are the Jahmiyyah, the followers of Jahm Ibn Safwaan, a refutation of their interpolated misguidance is presented. In regards to the matter of mahabbah, Ibnul-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (d. 751H) is quoted in refutation and sharp contrast between the ‘aqeedah of Ahlus-Sunnah in opposition to the Jahmiyyah [1].
Stated Ibnul-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah in madaarijus-saalikeen, ‘Allaah’s loving his beloved servant, his Prophets and Messengers, this muhabbah is an attribute of His. It is something additional to His Mercy, His treating them nobly and to His giving to them. All of these things are the effect and result of Allaah’s Love. So, because Allaah loves these people, then He grants them a great share of His Mercy, His being good to them and His fine treatment of them…
Whereas, the Jahmiyyah, in their view, Allaah does not love and Allaah is not loved. They (the Jahmiyyah) were not able to out-rightly deny and reject the text is this regard. So they resorted to ta’weel (interpolation) concerning the servant’s loving Allaah.’ 1 The Jahmiyyah are the followers of al-Jahm Ibn Safwaan. He was from the pure Jabariyyah. His innovation emerged in Tirmidh and he was killed by Salam Ibn Ahwaz al-Maazinee towards the end of the rule of Banee Umayyah. So they agree with the Mu’tazilah in rejecting the eternal Attributes and they add some things in addition to that. Refer to al-Milal wan-Nihal (1/73).
