Ibn Hajar (Paperback)

Ibn Hajar was one of the most influential thinkers of the fifteenth century. His writings have become some of the most authoritative analyses of hadith and hadith transmitters. Additionally, his histories, autobiographies, and discussions of contemporary events form some of the most important source information on Islamic history during the Mamluk period.

 This book is recommended for Students, Teachers, Graduates, Professionals, and all bibliophiles

This book recounts a fascinating life profoundly devoted to religious learning. It describes the severe personal and professional problem that ibn Hajar faced: the deaths of most of his children, plague, and the political scheming of the Mamluk court. The book also demonstrates how Ibn Hajr found solace and protection in the Sunna and how he attempted to transform it into a personal and moral guide for Muslim life. Understanding his life and work is of direct relevance to Muslims now witnessing comparable traumas, political upheavals and uncertainties.
