As I argue elsewhere, Ibn Taymiyyah's paradoxical position stems from a practical awareness of the way that Muslims of his day engaged in devotional practices. Ibn Taymiyya states that: "There is no doubt that the one who performs these [innovated festivals], either because of his own interpretation and independent reasoning or his being a blind imitator (muqallid) of another, receives a reward for his good purpose and for the aspects of his acts that confirm with the lawful and he is forgiven for those aspects that fall under the scope of the innovated if his independent reasoning or blind obedience is pardonable."<span class="cs1-kern-right"></span></q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=Islamic+Law+in+Theory%3A+Studies+on+Jurisprudence+in+Honor+of+Bernard+Weiss&rft.pub=BRILL&rft.date=2014-05-09&rft.isbn=9789004265196&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fbooks.google.com%2Fbooks%3Fid%3DtYyfAwAAQBAJ&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AMawlid" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-FOOTNOTEUkeles2010320-171"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTEUkeles2010320_171-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="#CITEREFUkeles2010">Ukeles 2010</a>, p. 320: "At the same time he recognized that some observe the Prophet's (s) birthday out of a desire to show their love of the Prophet and thus deserve a great reward for their good intentions."</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-172"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-172">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFWoodward2010" class="citation book cs1">Woodward, Mark (28 October 2010). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://books.google.com/books?id=kHb-640Gfa4C&q=Ibn%2520Taymiyya"><i>Java, Indonesia and Islam</i></a>.

This view is shared even by some of the most strident opponents of most other modalities of popular Islam. Ibn Taymiyyah, the Kurdish reformer who most Indonesian and other Islamists take as their spiritual ancestor and mentor, was subdued in his critique of the Mawlid.
