Concise Advices of Ibn Taymiyyah
About This Book
When Ibn Taymiyyah was 36 years old, the scholar and traveler Abul-Qasim as-Sabti, who considered him the most knowledgeable person he had met in the East or the West, wrote to him asking for advice on four matters. Ibn Taymiyyah's brief reply became a classic text. This book presents it with an explanation by Shaykh Sulayman ar-Ruhayli, a leading scholar of jurisprudence.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) is one of the most influential scholars in Islamic history, known for calling Muslims back to the Qur'an, the Sunnah, and the way of the early generations. The original advice is short, but the explanation draws out practical and scholarly guidance on a wide range of subjects.
What's Inside
The four requests Ibn Taymiyyah answered:
- Advice that benefits a person in both religion and worldly life
- A comprehensive book that is sufficient for seeking knowledge
