xThe Principle of Love and Desire by Ibn Taymiyyah
The Principle of Love and Desire by Ibn Taymiyyah constitutes a foundational work in Islamic creedal theology ('aqīdah), offering a sophisticated metaphysical framework for understanding the dynamics of human motivation, cosmic order, and spiritual authenticity.
This treatise reveals love as the primordial force animating all existence—the fundamental principle underlying every movement in the universe and every action undertaken by humanity.
Ibn Taymiyyah's analysis demonstrates that love functions as the generative source of human volition and behavior, necessarily accompanied by its correlate: hatred for that which opposes the beloved.
This dyadic principle of love and hate constitutes the essential foundation upon which Islam, monotheistic belief (tawḥīd), and faith (īmān) are constructed.
The work establishes that authentic Islamic practice cannot be reduced to mere external compliance with legal prescriptions; rather, it requires the proper ordering of the heart's affections toward Allah and away from competing objects of devotion.
A significant portion of this work addresses the theological pathologies that have afflicted various Islamic sects throughout history. Ibn Taymiyyah meticulously traces how doctrinal deviations and spiritual corruption arose from fundamental misunderstandings of this principle of love and desire.
By examining these historical divergences, he illuminates the consequences of misaligned spiritual orientation and demonstrates how correct understanding of love's centrality to faith preserves believers from theological error and spiritual misdirection.
This work remains essential for advanced students of Islamic theology seeking to understand the metaphysical underpinnings of faith, the psychology of religious motivation, and the doctrinal coherence of Islamic belief and practice.
