Abstract

This article analyzes Ibn Taymiyah's thoughts on the meaning of majaz in the Qur'an and hadith. The meaning of majaz is something that is considered very important in understanding the verses of the Qur'an and hadith, but its existence has actually reaped many pros and cons among the scholars because many are considered to be overusing the meaning of majaz to the point that it takes away from the intended meaning of a lafadz. Ibn Taymiyah was one of the ulama' who rejected the meaning of majaz and even wanted to close the doors of majaz altogether, which made quite a few ulama' oppose and even disbelieve his creed. In this research, the author uses library research methods by referring to Ibn Taimiyah's main work, namely Majmū' al-Fatāwā, which contains fatwas and his thoughts, including the meaning of majaz in understanding the Qur'an and hadith. This article focuses on Ibn Taimiyah's thoughts and the comments of the ulama' towards him who rejected the meaning of majaz in understanding the Qur'an and hadith.
