Explanation of the Concise Advices of Shaykh-ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah

This book presents Shaykh Sulayman ar-Ruhayli's explanation of a short set of advices given by Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728H) to the scholar Abul-Qasim as-Sabti, who, despite being an accomplished scholar himself, sought counsel from Ibn Taymiyyah at a young age, describing him as the most knowledgeable person he had encountered in East and West. Ibn Taymiyyah's original advices address four broad areas of concern to a believer: seeking knowledge, preparing for the Hereafter, employment, and trade. Ar-Ruhayli's explanation expands on these terse points, drawing in related matters of jurisprudence, repentance, creed, hadith, supplication, worship, and everyday etiquette. Sold in the United States through Dar-us-Salam under the shorter title 'Concise Advices of Ibn Taymiyyah,' the book suits both newcomers to Ibn Taymiyyah's writings and more advanced students looking for practical, scholarly guidance on balancing knowledge, worship, and worldly responsibilities.
