The Jahmiyyah are the followers of Jahm ibn Safwaan, who unleashed upon this Ummah the horrific innovation of ta’teel (denial of Allaah’s Attributes), either directly or by twisting the meanings. Such as twisting the meaning of the Hand of Allaah to mean His Power and Generosity. They also deny that Allaah is above His creation, above His Throne, as well as holding the belief that Paradise and Hell-fire are not ever-lasting. Refer to Ar-Radd ‘alal-Jahmiyyah by Imaam Ahmad ibn Hanbal and also ad-Daarimee and Al-Ibaanah (p.141) of Abul-Hasan al-’Asharee.
