About The Book

As talks of the Islamic system, the Islamic Shariah, and the Islamic State, are reverberating throughout the Muslim World today, this book has now acquired a special relevance, because it deals principally with these very themes. Ibn Taymiyah is one of the very few original and distinguished political thinkers in Islam. In this book, his achievements have been evaluated in this field and his real contributions to Islamic political thought.

This book is perhaps the first attempt at presenting a systematic and objective study of the political philosophy of Ibn Taymiyah one of the greatest original thinkers. The work is very carefully documented from original Arabic sources and hardly a proposition has been made in it without a reliable authority being cited as its basis.

About Sheikh ul Islam Ibn Taymiyah

Shaykh al-Islam Taqi ud-Din Abu'l-Abbas Ahmad Ibn al-Halim ibn Abd al-Salam Ibn Taymiyah al-Hanbali was born in , 661 AH (1263 AC) in Haran, which is now in Eastern Turkey, near the border of northern Iraq. His family had long been renowned for its learning , among his teachers, was Shams ud-Din Al-Maqdisi, first Hanbali Chief Justice of Syria following the reform of the judiciary by Baibars. The number of Ibn Taimiyah's teachers exceeds two hundred. 

Ibn Taimiyah was barely seventeen, when Qadi Al-Maqdisi authorized him to issue Fatwa (legal verdict). Qadi remembered with pride that it was he who had first permitted an intelligent and learned man like Ibn Taimiyah to give Fatwa. At the same age, he started delivering lectures. When he was thirty, he was offered the office of Chief Justice, but refused, as he could not persuade himself to follow the limitations imposed by the authorities. 

Imam Ibn Taimiyah's education was essentially that of a Hanbali theologian and jurisconsult. But to his knowledge of early and classical Hanbalism, he added not only that of the other schools of jurisprudence but also that of other literature.

He had an extensive knowledge of Quran, Sunnah, Greek philosophy, Islamic history, and religious books of others, as is evident from the variety of the books he wrote.
