Ibnul Qayyim al-Jawziyya was born into a virteous scholarly family in 691 AH/ 1292 A.D. At that time Damascus was a centre of literature and thought. Many schools were located there and he studied and graduated under the protection, direction and sponsorship of his father. He was particularly influenced by his teacher Ahmad b. Taymiyyah.
In describing al-Wabil al-Sayyib, here translated into English for the first time as Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya on the Invocation of God, the author says; ‘We have mentioned (in it) nearly one hundred benefits of remembrance of God (dhikr), and the secrets of remembrance... This is a book of great usefulness.’
Written in the fourteenth century by renowned theologian Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, the treatise movingly details the many blessings of the remembrance of God. Through discussions of the ego, the nature of the body, the ephemerality of the world, the degrees of prayer, fasting, charity and the purification of the heart, this beautifully written work is a genuine addition to Muslim spirituality. What makes Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya on the Invocation of God of great interest is that it illustrates the spiritual life of Ibn Qayyim and of his teacher; the hanbalite reformer Ibn Taymiyya (1263AH/ 1328AD).
