Ibn Qudamah al-Maqdisi

Muwaffaq al-Din Abdullah ibn Ahmad Ibn Qudamah al-Maqdisi (541–620 AH) was a jurist of the Hanbali school, known for his command of fiqh and for the clarity of his writing on the purification of the soul. He authored al-Mughni, a principal reference in Hanbali fiqh, alongside a body of shorter works dedicated to the cultivation of character and the heart.

Ibn Qudamah's spiritual writings are concise, practical treatises on humility, remembrance of death, and the inner secrets of worship, written for the student who wants substance without unnecessary complexity, all grounded firmly in the Qur'an and authentic Sunnah.
