Yemeni theologian (1759–1834) Muḥammad ibn Ali ibn Muḥammad ibn Abd Allah , better known as al-Shawkānī (1759–1834), was a prominent Yemeni Sunni Islamic scholar , jurist , theologian and reformer . Shawkani was one of the most influential proponents of Athari theology and is revered as one of their canonical scholars by Salafi Muslims . His teachings played a major role in the emergence of the Salafi movement. Influenced by the teachings of the medieval Hanbali scholar Ibn Taymiyya , Al-Shawkani became noteworthy for his staunch stances against the practice of Taqlid (imitation to legal schools ), calls for direct interpretation of Scriptures, opposition to Kalam (speculative theology) as well as for his robust opposition to various folk practices which he condemned as shirk (idolatry). ibn Ali al Shawkani, Muhammad (2009).

Shawkänī, as was mentioned already, was opposed to kaläm, which he regarded as a science that led to more confusion than clarity for the believer. He admits that he felt confused by it (lam azdad bihā illā þpiratan) and he found it to consist of idle talk (khuza"balār)... Shawkānī appears to fit more properly, though perhaps not entirely, in the Hanbalī tradition, which rejected outright many of the theological claims made by the various schools of kalām.
