Shaykh al-Islam Ahmad ibn Abdul Halim ibn Taymiyyah came from a scholarly family and was born in Harran in the year 661 AH. He and his family later fled to Damascus due to the Tartar occupation. From a young age, lbn Taymiyyah excelled in his studies and was especially noted for his memory, intelligence and understanding. He mastered all of the various sciences of lslam and began to give religious rulings at the age of 19, and first started teaching at 22. lbn Taymiyyah’s life was distinguished with his jihad against the Tartars and his struggle against the people of innovation which lead to many imprisonments, the last of which lasted until his death in 728 AH.
