The salafism and sufism of Ibn Taimiyyah

New research by an orientalist and several trustworthy Sunni scholars demolishes the myth of Ibn Taimiyyah being entirely anti-Sufism and against all Sufis
On the contrary, he has been discovered to not only defending Sufism as an important pillar of Islam but has also been a Sufi himself, well-versed in (sunnatic) Sufism, written works on the discipline and showed a good ascetic life as an example to so-called 'Syuyukh' of the Sufis today who are drowned in materialism, fame and love of reputation
Asyari sufi scholars like Nuh Ha Mim Keller had given justice in revealing the Sufi tendency of Ibn Taimiyyah and his defence of Sufism
Ibn Taimiyyah arguably is a universal scholar in its true definition being perfect in his creed, jurisprudence and sufism, and proving himself as sincere reformer and fighter on the path of 'tasfiyyah and tarbiyyah' (borrowing Al-Albani's terms)
The scholar is a true salafi and a true sufi!

The Testimony of Ibn Taymiyya to Ibn `Ata' Allah: Shaykh Ibn Taymiyya had been imprisoned in Alexandria. When the Sultan pardoned him, he came back to Cairo. At the time of the evening prayer he went to al-Azhar mosque where salat al-maghrib was being led by Shaykh Ahmad Ibn `Ata Allah al-Iskandari. Following the prayer, Ibn `Ata' Allah was surprised to discover that Ibn Taymiyya had been praying behind him
