Author: Sheykh ul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah
Book of Faith represents the first complete English translation of the important and well-known work Kitab Al-Iman, written by the renowned scholar Ibn Taymiyyah. The concept of Iman (although not correctly translated in English as ‘faith’ or ‘belief’) is fundamental to Islam. Iman has served to define the nature of Muslim life and the essence of the religion as a whole and is comprised of Sayings and Actions (Qawl wa ‘Amal) of a Muslim.
Ibn Taymiyyah’s own deep conviction and understanding of Iman is based on the interpretations of the Quran and Hadith, sayings and deeds of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), and the conduct of the pious predecessors of the first three Islamic centuries (generations).
Ibn Taymiyyah was born in Syria on 22 January 1263 (661H). Throughout history, he is considered one of the very few distinguished scholars of Islam. From an early age, Ibn Taymiyyah was firmly grounded in Islamic traditional education, with emphasis on the Quran, Hadith, and the Arabic language. His prolific works have served to reaffirm traditional Islamic understanding. Ibn Taymiyyah’s scholarly contributions resulted in numerous books and treaties.
