Abu Hafs Umar ibn Ali al-Bazzar

The result of all this was the authoring of the thousands of books and
collections that now fill Islamic libraries, the raising of the word of
truth, and the empowering of the Ummah by its sticking to the religion
of truth, Islam. Because of this, all of the powers of the world
gathered against the Muslims in order to weaken them. So, the scholars
of Islam rose to the occasion and defended Allah’s Religion. From these
scholars who raised the banner of truth and the honor of defending Islam
was Shaykh al-Islam Taqi ad-Din Ibn Taymiyyah, with the many brave
stances he took in his time, and with the countless books and fatawa of
his that now fill the Islamic library. In order to better know this
brave, pious imam known as Ibn Taymiyyah, we present to the reader this
biography that was written by the pen of a scholar who saw, lived with,
and befriended Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah – and he is none other than
al-Imam al-Bazzar – and he called this book ‘al-A’lam al-‘Aliyyah fi
Manaqib Ibn Taymiyyah,’ and he is the most qualified to write about him.
It is hoped that as opposed to the typical biography that is filled
with mere facts and figures, this book will serve to provide the reader
with a first-hand account of the human side of one of the greatest
Islamic personalities to have ever lived – one that can be taken as an
example in formulating a lifestyle and conducting day to day affairs.
