This article is about the polemical methods of Ibn Taymiyyah Harrani in Minhaj- us- Sunnah. From the perspective of many Sunni scholars, this book is one of the best texts in rejecting the beliefs of Shia Imami. For the better evolution of these remakes, it is essential to review the methods of Ibn Taymiyyah on argumentation first, So we can find out whether his methods in debate with Allameh Helli is according to the best controversy (jidal ahsan), which is approved by God, the sunnah of the Prophet (pbuh) and all Muslim scholars, or it was in invalidate method which is not approved by God nor the sunnah of the Prophet (pbuh). In order to learn more about the debate (jadal), at first a brief discussion will be made and then we review the words and tricks applied by ibn taymiyyah in response to Allameh Helli in this book and finally we conclude that he has not been seeking the best controversy (jidal ahsan) to achieve the truth or ideal result but only he has been looking for a rejection on the Allame’s book even in an invalidate manner. He did not adhere many aspects of the debate on the ethical and scientific dimensions and we couldn’t consider this book even as a scientific or ethical book.
