Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr ibn Ayyub ibn Sa'd al-Zar'i al-Dimashqi, Shams al-Din, Abu Abdullah, known as Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya. He was a prominent figure in Islamic religious reform in the eighth century AH. He was born in Damascus to Kurdish parents and studied under Ibn Taymiyyah al-Dimashqi, who was also of Kurdish parents and was influenced by him. His profession was as an imam at al-Jawziyya; teaching at al-Sadriya and elsewhere; and issuing fatwas and writing. His connection with Ibn Taymiyyah: Historians agree that the date of the meeting was in 712 AH, the year he returned from his travels to Damascus, where he settled until his death in 751 AH.

- One of Ibn Qayyim's most enjoyable books. The suspense for Paradise is extremely enjoyable in his description of it, its dwellings, and the bliss it contains. I highly recommend it in the school of encouragement, intimidation, and purification.
Belal Wahb
- Ibn Qayyim "or Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya as he always refers to himself, may God have mercy on him," with his usual diversity. In this book, he presents the characteristics of Paradise and its people. Even in the title, you find a very high attraction factor. At the beginning of the book, he narrates his famous "Mim" in describing Paradise and its people. The book is very motivating. I love Ibn Qayyim's books, may God have mercy on him, and his way of conveying information. I highly recommend it. There is not enough space to provide a full review of the book.
Mohammed Alsaleh
- I love Ibn Qayyim Values, with a beautiful spirituality in his writings, and despite the traditional themes of his books, his literary touch is profoundly influential, elegant in its expression and exquisite in its meaning. This book is about the greatest reward for any follower of religion, and in this case, the reward of the Muslim: Paradise, the land of joy.
Ahmed
- I have been intending to read Ibn al-Qayyim for a while, and now I have tried it. Ibn Qayyim's literary style is beautiful and his words are easy to understand. In addition, the subject is very important to read about to encourage yourself to perform acts of obedience for the Hereafter in order to attain Paradise.
Abrar Alarjan
- The book "The Guide of Souls to the Land of Joy" by Imam Shams al-Din Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya. This book bears all the characteristics of a wonderful book. Its name matches its title, and its expression matches its meaning. Its author divided it into seventy chapters about Paradise and its existence, the different types of its inhabitants, and he mentions the number of its gates, its levels, its names and meanings, its number and types, and its food, its eternity, and its imperishability. It is a spiritual book that satisfies the soul and makes it yearn for the spaciousness of the Gardens of the Lord of the Worlds. O God, make us among its people. Among those with whom you are pleased therein are:

❇️ Some quotes from the book "The Guide of Souls to the Land of Joy" by Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya ❇️
"Perhaps the first creation, which the Lord Almighty created in it, with sight and observation, is more amazing than the second creation He promised us, if the intelligent person contemplates it. Perhaps the production of these fruits and vegetables - in this world - from this coarse soil, water, wood, and suitable air is more amazing to the mind than their production from the musk soil of Paradise, its pure and clear water, and its air. Perhaps the production of these drinks, which are food, medicine, drink, and pleasure, from among dung, blood, and the vomit of wolves, is more amazing than their flowing as rivers in Paradise."
