ON THE PROBABILITY OF THE CREATION OF THE IBN TAYMIYYA SCHOOL OF OTTOMAN THOUGHT VIA BIRGIW? ME?MED EFEND?- A Critical Approach -

Öz:

Ottoman religious thought is divided into two essential schoolsnamed after Fakhr al-Din al-Razi and Ibn Taymiyya. The Fakhr al-Dinal-Razi School is identified with Maturidism, whereas Ottoman scholarBirgiwi Mehmed Efendi is considered a discipleof the Ibn Taymiyya School. Birgiwi's madhhab is often described asSalafi, Hanbali, Ash?ari, or Maturidi. This study assesses such claimsusing evidence from the sources whose attribution to Birgiwi isindisputable. An analysis of Birgiwi's works clearly shows that he is amember of the Maturidi School. Nevertheless, the study reveals thenecessity of reviewing certain classifications, denominations, andgeneralizations. Based on Birgiwi's extant works, this paper makesseveral objections to his being considered a representative or memberof the Ibn Taymiyya School and demonstrates that Birgiwi iscompletely aligned with Maturidi with regard to theological issues
