Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya

Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (691–751 AH / 1292–1350 CE) was a Sunni scholar of the Hanbali school in Mamluk Damascus, best known as the foremost student, companion, and intellectual heir of Ibn Taymiyya. His epithet "Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya" ("son of the steward of the Jawziyya") derives from his father's post as superintendent (qayyim) of the al-Jawziyya madrasa. A prolific writer on theology, law, Quranic exegesis, and spiritual cultivation, he is remembered for works such as Zad al-Maad, a treatise on the conduct (sunna) of the Prophet, and al-Wabil al-Sayyib on supplication and remembrance of God; his thought, like that of his teacher, remains influential in later Salafi and reformist currents.
