About This Book:
Mustapha Sheikh compiled aphorisms from the writings of the medieval Sunni Muslim thinker Ibn Taymiyyah in his book A Treasury of Ibn Taymiyyah: His Timeless Thought and Wisdom. There are four parts to the book: Aphorisms about the nature of God, the afterlife, and tawhid (monotheism) can be found in this section on theology. Aphorisms on subjects including the value of worship, the make-up of the soul, and the way to spiritual perfection can be found in this section on spirituality There is a commentary that discusses the relevance of each aphorism and its underlying message. Anyone who is interested in learning more about the ideas of this significant Muslim thinker may consult A Treasury of Ibn Taymiyyah. Additionally, it is a work that makes readers reflect hard on their own principles and views. This collection of wisdoms from the works of Ibn Taymiyyah reflects the range of his penetrative insight and wisdom. It aims to recast his work, which is often mistakenly associated with Islamic fundamentalism, for a new generation of Muslims who are seeking a path through the challenges of the modern age.With an emphasis upon literary concision each aphorism is pregnant with meaning, which is carefully explored in a commentary.
