Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah _1292-1350 CE) was a Muslim Scholar who lived in Damascus, Syria. He studied first under his own father, the qayyim (attendant of the school of al-jawziyyah, and then under the great scholar Ibn Taymiyyah. He compiled and authored many books, including the famous Zad al-Ma'ad(The Provision of the hereafter), and was contemporary of other leading scholars such as Ibn Kathir, Ibn Rajab, and others.
