Description

Written by the renowned jurists of the fourteenth century, Taqi al-Din Ahmad Ibn Taymiyya, The Goodly Word is one of the most referred to works on prayer and the merits of prayer. Exclusively based on what the Prophet Muhammad himself said and did, this work includes prayers for every moment of the Muslims life. The Goodly Word is here presented in a bi-lingual edition so that the exact prayers of the Prophet can be read in the original Arabic. The translation is by two distinguished scholars who have also translated An-Nawawi’s Forty Hadith and Forty Hadith Qudsi both published by the Islamic Texts Society.

Ezzedin Ibrahim, formerly Vice-Chancellor of the University of the United Arab Emirates, is the author of numerous publications on Islamic subjects and Arabic literature. At present, he is Cultural Adviser to the President of the United Arab Emirates.

Denys Johnson-Davies is a well-known translator, having published more than twenty-five volumes of short stories, novels and poems. Among his recent translations is Al-Ghazali on the Manners Relating to Eating, published by The Islamic Texts Society.

About the author

Ibn Taymiyya: Taqi al-Din Ahmad ibn Abd al-Halim ibn Taymiyya (661-728 AH / 1263-1328 CE) was a Hanbali jurist, theologian, and one of the most prolific and contested writers of the later medieval period. He was born in Harran into a family of established Hanbali scholars. When the Mongols threatened the region, his family fled to Damascus, where his father directed the Sukkariyya madrasa. Ibn Taymiyya memorized the Qurʾan early, studied widely across law, hadith, theology, and the rational sciences, and took over his father's teaching post at twenty-one. He was Hanbali in law and well known for his criticism of much of the speculative theology (kalam) of his time, calling for a return to the Qurʾan, the Sunna, and the understanding of the early generations (the salaf). Outspoken and often confrontational, he was drawn into repeated disputes over creed and practice and was imprisoned several times in Damascus, Cairo, and Alexandria. He died in 728 AH / 1328 CE while confined in the citadel of Damascus. His writings, including treatises on worship and the inner life such as Al-ʿUbudiyya, have been widely translated and remain influential, though his positions have long been the subject of vigorous scholarly debate.
