About Ibn al-Qayyim

Ibn Qayyim or Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (real name Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr ) was a famous Sunni Islamic jurist, commentator on the Quran, astronomer, chemist, philosopher, psychologist, scientist and theologian that lived from 1292-1350CE / 691 AH- 751 AH. Although he is commonly referred to as “the scholar of the heart,”given his extensive works pertaining to human behavior and ethics, Ibn Qayyim’s scholarship was focused on the sciences of Hadith and Fiqh.

Ibn Qayyim was a close student of the Muslim scholar Sheikh ul-Islam Taqiyyu-Deen Ahmad Ibn Taymiyah. Ibn Qayyim was fervent in his devotion to Islam, and he was a loyal student and disciple of Ibn Taymiyah. He defended his religious opinions and approaches, and he compiled and edited most of his works, and taught the same.

Because of their views, both the teacher and the student were persecuted, tortured by tyrannic rulers, and humiliated in public by the local authorities, as they were imprisoned in a single cell in the central prison of Damascus, known today as al-Qala.
