Precious Thoughts According to Ibn Al Jawzi
Description:
Ibn Al Jawzi said: "As thoughts pass over things that appear to them and then disappear, it is essential to remember them so as not to forget them, and the Prophet said: "Record the knowledge in writing." So many thoughts came to me, which I could not fix, and which fled leaving me in regret! I noticed that each time I open the eye of reflection, unexpected wonders of the 'Invisible. Dunes of understanding then pile up before him that cannot be neglected. So I made this book a net intended to hunt furtive thoughts (Sayd Al Khatir)." Ibn Kathir shows us what a wonderful journey, without the depths of thought and wisdom, Ibn Al Jawzi invites us to, when he says: "He was unique in exhortation, without precedent or equal, in his style, his eloquence, the suavity of his words, the elegance of their setting, the effectiveness of his exhortation, his immersion in the deep meanings, and his clear presentation of strange things in concise, easily understandable terms, because he brought together numerous meanings in a few words. He spontaneously declaimed prose and poetry, and in a word he was a unique teacher in the art of exhortation and many others." A unique book, of rare wisdom and eloquence, whose reputation is not usurped, and which, without a doubt, will overwhelm those who delve into it.
