Imam Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyah

This book, AI-Fawaid: A Collection of Wise Sayings is one of
the well-known compilations of Imam Shams Ad-Dm Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah, who is
well known by the name Ibn Al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy upon him). This
blessed book is not like others that simply contain sections, chapters and
themes, but it consists of the elevated thoughts that Allah, Exalted be He,
bestows upon some of His servants as He wills. So whenever any of these
scattered pearls of wisdom occurred to the Imam, he would immediately record
them. I am sure that he did not sit down and write this book in one or two
weeks, but surely it was developed over a long period of time. Whenever
something came to his mind, he would record it, and whenever he learnt a lesson
or anything crucial in his life, he would illuminate the lines of his page with
the ink of his pen.
