Ibn Tamiyya (1263?-1328), formally Taqi al-Deen Ahmad Ibn Taymiyya, is seen as the theoretical father of modern Salafism, a radically conservative form of Islam. Part of the Hanbali]] school of Islam, he wrote on the necessity of armed jihad]] against foreign invasion of Islamic lands; he suggested that armed jihad should be added to the pillars of Islam. He also condemned Sufism]]. Wahhabism]] also draws on his thinking. His core argument was expressed in urging Muslim fight against the Mongol invasion (1294-1303), in spite of protests that the Mongol monarch had converted to Islam. That king, however, allowed Mongol tribal law to coexist with Sharia]], making him an apostate and a legitimate target of jihad. [1] By requiring there to be no Muslim society without Islamic law, he set a context that Salafists used to justify rebellion against Muslim rulers that did not enforce that law, and was cited by the assassins of Anwar Sadat]].[2] References
