Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (1292–1350 CE) was a prominent Islamic scholar, jurist, and spiritual writer. A student of the famous Ibn Taymiyyah, he is known for his deep works on Islamic jurisprudence, theology, and spirituality. His writings, such as Madarij al-Salikin and Zad al-Ma'ad, remain influential in understanding repentance, the soul’s purification, and a practical approach to living a devout Muslim life.
