Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah

Shams al-Din Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr, known to history as Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (691–751 AH), was a prolific scholar of Ahlus-Sunnah. A close student of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, he stood firmly by his teacher through imprisonment and hardship, and went on to author works of depth on aqeedah, tazkiyah, fiqh, and the states of the heart.

His writings on tawbah, sabr, tawakkul, and the diseases of the heart combine close attention to the workings of the soul with a method grounded entirely in the Qur'an and authentic Sunnah, upon the understanding of the Salaf — diagnosing the soul's ailments and setting out their cure from the evidences.
