Muhammad ibn Sulaymân at-Tamimi
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Sulaymân at-Tamimi was a leading revivalist of the 12th H (18th CE) century who is famous for his call to return to the original teachings of Islam, as based on the Qur’an and the authentic Hadith of the Prophet’s Sunnah. As a reformer, he refuted innovations and deviations from these teachings. He focused on purification which started with the internal correction of basic beliefs and the purity of intention. He rejected the blind following practiced by many adherents of the different schools of thought, and he rebuffed the division this caused among the Muslims.
