He was reportedly a close aide to Mohammed Omar, the leader of the Taliban. He was a member of the Taliban's 10-man leadership council before the US-led invasion in 2001. He eventually got a prosthetic limb from an hospital in Karachi. He lost a leg while fighting with the Afghan mujahideen against Soviet occupation in the 1980s.
Educated in a madrassa in Balochistan, he was a follower of Deobandi Sunni Islam. He was killed by British and German special forces.ĭadullah belonged to the Kakar tribe of Pashtuns. Īccording to the United Nations' list of entities belonging to or associated with the Al-Qaeda organization, he had been the Taliban's Minister of Construction. Īn ethnic Pashtun from the Kakar tribe of Kandahar Province, he was known as "The Butcher", even among fellow Talibans, for his outbursts of violence, notably in cutting men's heads off, as per some even being stripped of his command at least two times by Mullah Omar due to his extreme behavior. He also earned the nickname of Lang, meaning "lame" (as in Timur Lang), because of a leg he lost during fighting. He was also known as Maulavi or Mullah Dadullah Akhund ( Pashto: ملا دادالله آخوند). The article at hand adopts a library research method to clarify Mulla Shamsa’s viewpoint about God’s knowledge. Mulla Shamsa takes God’s knowledge of Himself as the most direct and does not deem permissible the application of the commonly used conception of the collective knowledge to God. Concerning God’s a priori knowledge of the creatures, he believes in a third form (that is, not acquired nor direct), which is the pure and simple Being of God, and considers the existence of creatures as irrelevant and ineffective in God’s knowledge. With regard to the relationship between the essential attributes and the essence, Mulla Shamsa adopts a view similar to Mu‘tazila, peripatetic philosophers, and Mulla Sadra, and believes in the sameness of the essential attributes and the essence.
Mulla Sadra – with regard to some philosophical issues such as the principality of existence, substantial movement, God’s a priori knowledge, and God’s knowledge of Himself. Mulla Shamsa opposed many great philosophers – especially the head of the largest school of philosophy in his era, i.e. As one of the outstanding students of Mir Damad, he was greatly influenced by him and learned the peripatetic style and foundations from him. Mulla Shamsa Gilani, one of the shining and famous figures of the 11th century LH in the Isfahan school of philosophy who – like other notable philosophers of his era such as Mulla Sadra and Mir Damad – was skillful in using the qur’ānic verses and Islamic traditions to prove his philosophical discussions.
