چکیده:
The Salafi movement encompasses various spectrums within itself, among which the extremist Salafi movement, under the slogan of following the Salaf, constantly justifies its ill-considered actions in the name of religion through a literal interpretation of the Quran and Sunnah. Literalism, meaning the validity of any literal interpretation and the denial of rational interpretations, is extremist and unacceptable. Although Salafi literalism has manifested more regarding ambiguous verses and verses of divine attributes, it has gradually, through the efforts of the intellectual leaders of that movement—especially Ibn Taymiyyah—become a key element of the extremist Salafi movement. This research, using a descriptive and analytical method and by studying and examining the interpretive works of prominent commentators of this movement, including Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn al-Qayyim, Ibn Kathir, Shanqiti, and Ibn Uthaymeen, concludes that the denial of rule-based interpretation, the rejection of metaphorical applications in the Holy Quran, and generally ignoring the role of reason in understanding the Quran, are among the very important elements of extremist Salafi literalism in the interpretation of religious texts, especially the Holy Quran.

This research, using a descriptive-analytical method and by studying and examining the interpretive works of prominent commentators of this movement, including Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn al-Qayyim, Ibn Kathir, al-Shanqiti, and Ibn Uthaymeen, concludes that the denial of rule-based interpretation (ta'wil), the rejection of metaphorical applications in the Holy Quran, and generally ignoring the role of reason in understanding the Quran, are among the very important elements of extremist Salafi literalism in the interpretation of religious texts, especially the Holy Quran.
Based on this, the basis of the Salaf regarding the verses of attributes is the rejection of ta'wil, and the use of ta'wil in the interpretation of the Quran is considered a novel matter and a kind of playing with words, which leads to the distortion of Divine speech, is counted as a crime against Islam, and those who engage in ta'wil are considered innovators (Qousi, 1422: 392 and 394; Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyya, 1417: 1/77).
Ibn Taymiyyah describes the verses and traditions indicating God's rising over the Throne as countless, and says that in the entire Quran, the whole Sunnah of the Prophet (s), and the general words of the Companions, the Successors, and the sayings of other Imams of Hadith, all are explicit (nass) or literal (zahir) in stating that God the Glorious is above everything and above the heavens on His Throne, and the total sayings of the Salaf in this regard amount to hundreds or even thousands of opinions.
