Al-Fawaid (A Collection Of Wise
Sayings) - by Imam Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyah [PDF] [Book]
*****
This
book, AI-Fawaid: A Collection of Wise Sayings is one of the well-known
compilations of Imam Shams Ad-Dm Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah, who is well
known by the name Ibn Al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy upon him). This
blessed book is not like others that simply contain sections, chapters
and themes, but it consists of the elevated thoughts that Allah,
Exalted be He, bestows upon some of His servants as He wills. So
whenever any of these scattered pearls of wisdom occurred to the Imam,
he would immediately record them. I am sure that he did not sit down
and write this book in one or two weeks, but surely it was developed
over a long period of time. Whenever something came to his mind, he
would record it, and whenever he learnt a lesson or anything crucial in
his life, he would illuminate the lines of his page with the ink of his
pen.
Abu `Abdillah,
Shamsuddin Muhammad, son of Abu Bakr, son of Ayyub, son of Sa`d, son of
Hurayz, of Damascus. He is best known as Ibn ul-Qayyim (Son of the
Custodian), named so after al-Jawziyyah school in Damascus which was
under custody of his father. His family was one of honor and knowledge.
He was born on Safar 7, 691
AH (1292 CE), in the village of Zar`, to the south-east of Damascus.
Teachers
He moved to Damascus and learned the Islamic knowledge under a number
of prominent scholars. His most notable teacher was Ahmad bin `Abdil
Halim Ibn Taymiyyah. He valued him most and he stayed
with him continuously in his years of youth: from 712 AH (1312 CE)
until Ibn Taymiyyah’s death in 728 AH (1328 CE). He loved him dearly,
he comprehended his thought, and he worked on clarifying and spreading
his knowledge after his death.
Writings Ibn ul Qayyim
wrote more than sixty books in various areas of Islam. Some of these
are:
1-
Tahthib Sunan Abi Dawud (Emendation of Sunan Abu Dawud);
2- Al-Kalam al-Tayyib wa-al-'Amal al-Salih (The Essence of Good
Words and Deeds); 3- Commentaries on the book of Shaikh Abdullah
al-Ansari: Manazil-u Sa'ireen (Stations of the Seekers), which
is considered the epitome of knowledge of tasawwuf books; and, Zad
al-Ma'ad
(Provisions of the Hereafter), from which this book on the medicine of
the Prophet is extracted, besides other manuscripts copied with his own
handwriting, and which are preserved in the Central Library in
Damascus, Syria.
Students Ibn ul Qayyim
had numerous students. Some of the more reputable among them are the
following:
Al Hafidh Abul Faraj ibn Rajab
Al Hafidh Ismail ibn Kathir
Al Hafidh Muhammad bin Abdul Hadi
Death
He died on the evening of Thursday, Rajab 23, 751 AH (1350 CE). People
prayed on him (the Janazah prayer) on the following day in the Great
Masjid in Damascus. He was burined in al-Bab us-Saghir cemetary.
He
was highly praised by the `ulama’ after him, such as al-Hafidh Ibn
Rajab, al-Hafidh adh-Dhahabi, ibn Nasir ad-Dimashqi, Al Hafidh ibn
Hajar and Muhammad

- Excellent one ! Must Watch !!
Masha’Allah I thought this was a pretty moving video on the People of
Paradise meeting with Allah. The text mentioned in the video is from
Ibn al Qayyim’s Haadi al-Arwaah ilaa Bilaad il-Afraah. The text is
slightly different than in the book but majority of it is the same.
