Al-Aqeedah al-Hamawiyyah
العقيدة الحموية
A detailed fatwa written in response to a question from the people of Hama, Syria, about the divine attributes mentioned in the Quran and Sunnah. Ibn Taymiyyah presents the position of the Salaf on affirming Allah's attributes without likening them to creation (tashbih) or negating them (ta'til), citing extensive evidence from the early scholars. The work is a major reference in Athari theology.
