Summary

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi discusses about one of the most famous scholars of the fourteen and a half centuries of Islam - Shaykh Al Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, a name that is synonymous with the studies of Islam. He was born in Damascus, during the invasion of the Mongols. Shaykh Al Islam Ibn Taymiyyah belonged to a family of scholars with both his father and grandfather being magnanimous Ulama. Consequently, his brothers too became eminent scholars of Islam. Scholarship, teaching and authorship was his forte and he had mastered it to perfection. He was also called a polymath for this very reason. Ibn Taymiyyah was blessed with excellent students such as Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya and Ibn Kathir. This did not come as a surprise given the status of Ibn Taymiyyah himself which was a stupendous one at that. Numerous publications and volumes have been released that have been authored by this great scholar. Some among them are: Al Asma was Sifaat (Allah's Names and Attributes) – Two volumes. Kitab al Iman (Book of the Tenets of Faith). Minhaj as-Sunnah an-Nabawiyyah (The way of the Prophet's Sunnah) – Four volumes.
