Abstract
For a long time, many doubts have been raised about the verses of the Holy Quran that specifically refer to Imamate. One of these doubts is the doubt raised by Ibn Taymiyyah Harrani about the revelation of the verse of Wilayat. Ibn Taymiyyah in his book “Minhaj al-Sunnah” strongly denies the revelation of the verse of Wilayat in the status of Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (AS) and considers the hadith related to this revelation to be made and narrated by Shiites. He says clearly: “According to the consensus of the knowledgeable hadith scholars, these circumstances of revelation are purely false.” Ibn Taymiyyah relies on various evidences to prove his claim. This research, which was carried out with a descriptive-analytical approach and using library sources, seeks to answer the main question: What is Ibn Taymiyyah’s doubt about the state of the revelation of the verse of Wilayat and the criticisms on it? The key findings of this research are: The consensus claim about this doubt has no correct basis. This suspicion is merely an unsupported claim, and the consensus that the author cites does not exist externally. The denial of the circumstances of revelation presented is not consistent with the views of Sunni scholars. The root of this claim goes back to Ibn Taymiyyah’s personality, thoughts and personal beliefs rather than rational and narrative arguments. From a scientific point of view, such opinions are weak and baseless. However, experience has shown that such claims can have dangerous consequences in practice.
