Abu Abdullah Shams al-Din Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr ibn Ayyub ibn Sa`d ibn Hariz al-Zur`i al-Dimashqi al-Hanbali (691-751 AH/1292-1350 CE), known as “Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya” or “Ibn al-Qayyim”. He is a jurist, hadith scholar, interpreter, and a diligent Muslim scholar and one of the most prominent imams of the Hanbali school of thought in the first half of the eighth century AH. Ibn al-Qayyim grew up as a Hanbali; His father, Abu Bakr ibn Ayoub al-Zar’i, was the guardian of the “Jawziyya Hanbali School” (1). When he grew up and came into contact with his sheikh Ibn Taymiyyah, a change occurred in his scholarly life, and he no longer adhered to what was stated in the Hanbali school of thought except out of conviction and agreement with the evidence from the Qur’an and Sunnah, and then with the opinions of the Companions and the traces of the Salaf. For this reason, scholars consider him one of the mujtahids.
