In his theological dispute, Ibn Taymiyya paid great attention to Universals and considered it the root of deviations regarding Allāh’s attributes on the side of the Kalām Theologians and the Philosophers. The researchers' goal in this study is to examine the extent to which the ontological status of universals influenced Ibn Taymiyya's methodology in affirming the Divine Attributes. Qualitative Method based on the analysis of Ibn Taymiya's texts such as Dar’u al-Ta‘aruḍbayna al-‘Aqli wa al-Naqliand Bayān Talbīs al-Jahmiyyahas been applied in conducting the research. The findings showed that Ibn Taymiyya was not a Realist nor a Nominalist, instead, he stressed that universals are only the result of mind abstraction (Al-Wujūd Al-Dhihnī), whereas real existence must be extramental, which can be perceived by the senses, hence the Allāh’s attributes which there is a similarity of the name with the attributes of the creature do not carry the implications of anthropomorphism because each of the attributes is specific to the substance, there is no sharing on the specific characteristics between two objects that have the same attributes name, only the sharing of basic meaning understanding to allowa statement to be understood. The results of this study are expected to contribute further to the enlightenment of Ibn Taymiyya's thoughts and correct some misconceptions of his methodologies and thus build a more harmonious discussion between theologicaltrends among Muslims.
