al-Razi, Fakhr al-Din ah 544-606
Muhammad ibn `Umar ibn al-Hasan ibn al-Husayn Abu `Abd Allah al-Qurashi, al-Bakri, al-Taymi, al-Tabaristani al-Shafi`i, known as Ibn al-Khatib and as Fakhr al-Din al-Razi Shaykh al-Islam, the imam of the learned scholars of kalam and the foundations of belief, a major jurist of the Shafi`i school, specialist of usul, Sufi, commentator of the Qur'an philologist, genealogist, heresiographer, logician, and physician. "An imam who overwhelmed the heavens that glitter, nay, heavens glamour not if he shows his pearls
"An ocean that contains more pearls than the ocean." "A garden of Knowledge overcomes all gardens with its scents and odors." " The Mekka of all his fellow scholars who looked at him and saw the blessings of Allah". The principal spokesman of Ahl al Sunna in his time , he refuted all the sects with which he came into contact, particularly Mu`tazila, Shi`a, Hashwiyya or Karramiyyah (an activist ascetic sect, staunch defenders of a literal interpretation of scripture and of anthropomorphism- He gave them a bitter drink contaminated their guts ), Isma'ilis, Hashwi Hanbalites, Rhafidah (rejectionists), Suleimanyah, as well as the Jews and Christians. At early age, he was taught by his father Khatib al-Rayy Diya' al-Din `Umar and Majd al-Din al-Jili al-Maraghi basically, then afterwards Abu Muhammad al-Baghawi and Kamal al-Din al-Simnani. Al-Razi's skill in polemic, refutation preaching and debate was tremendously perfect in both Arabic and Persian languages. He often break into emotional states while preaching, moving to tears whoever listened to him. In his late twenties, he visited Khwarazm and Transoxania, where he came in contact with some of the last theologians in the Mu'tazilite tradition. Although he endured hardship and poverty at the beginning of his career, on returning to Rayy from Transoxania he entered into the first of a series of patronage relations with rulers in the east which contributed to his reputedly considerable wealth and authority. Returning to his native Rayy, he authored a series of works which achieved widespread fame in a short time. Among them
Al-Tafsir al-Kabir, also known as Mafatih al-Ghayb- one of the greatest commentaries of the Holy Qura'n
Isma al-Anbiya
Bahr al-Ansab
Kitab al-Mantiq al-Kabir
Al-Mahsul wa al-Muntakhab
Al-Arba`in
Nihayat al-`Uqul
Al-Bayan wa al-Burhan fi al-Radd `ala Ahl al-Zaygh wa al-Tughyan
Al-Mabahith al-`Imadiyya fi al-Matalib al-Ma`adiyya
Al-Mabahith al-Mashriqiyya
Asas al-Taqdis, a relentlessness refutation of the anthropomorphists.
Irshad al-Nuzzar ila Lata'if al-Asrar
Al-Zubda
Al-Ma`alim fi Usul al-Din
Al-Ma`alim fi Usul al-Fiqh
Sharh Asma' Allah al-Husna
Sharh Nisf al-Wajiz li al-Ghazzali
Al-Razi settled finally in Herat, where he had a teaching madrasa built for him, and where he died in ah 606- May Allah be pleased with him and bless his soul
Imam al-Razi said in his "Testament"- wasiyya
I have explored the ways of kalam and the methods of philosophy, and I did not see in them a benefit that compares with the benefit I found in the Qur'an. For the latter hurries us to acknowledge that greatness and majesty belong only to Allah, precluding us from involvement into the explication of objections and contentions. This is for no other reason than because human minds find themselves deadened in those deep, vexing exercises and obscure ways [of kalam and philosophy
Therefore, I say that everything that stands established by literal proofs concerning the necessity of Allah's existence, His oneness, His exemption from any and all partners, as well as His beginninglessness and pre-existence, His disposal of all things, His exclusive efficacy: that is what I also believe, and what I hope to meet Allah with
As for what is ultimately subtle and unclear, as well as all that is mentioned in the Qur'an and the sound books of hadith that specifically bears one meaning: it is all exactly as the text says. Whatever is otherwise, I say: O God of the worlds, I see that all of creation concur that You are the most generous of all generous ones, and the most merciful of them; therefore, concerning anything I wrote or thought, I bear witness that if You saw that I tried to declare true something false, or declare false something true, then do with me as I deserve; but if you saw that I only tried to declare transcendent whatever I considered truly transcendent, and believed so truthfully, then let Your mercy be commensurate with my intention, not with my outcome
As for the books which I authored and in which I listed and explicated countless questions, let whoever looks into them remember me kindly and pray for me out of compassion and benevolence, or else, strike out any wrong words. For I did not intend other than abundant investigation and the sharpening of thought, all the while relying upon Allah
Ibn al-Subki ( may Allah bless his soul) quoted the following lines of poetry from Imam al-Razi
The daring of minds ends in shackles
Most of mankind's undertakings are folly
Our souls are indifferent to what our bodies do
And the sum of our lives is affliction and harm
We did not benefit from our lifelong search
Except in collecting what these said, and those
Atop many a mountain men have triumphed
And gone, while the mountains remained
How many men and states have we seen
Goaded to disappear one and all
