Men and the Universe Reflections of ibn al Qayyim

Overview:

This book was originally a section of Ibn Al- Qayyem’s book; Muftaaha Daar is sa’aadah (Key to the Abode of Happiness). This section was extracted from it due to its discussion of some of the Signs of Allah in human beings and the universe. Also, Ibn Al- Qayyem’s book was chosen due to its perspective and meaningful wisdom. Another outstanding characteristic of this book is that Ibn-Al-Qayyem calls for the use of intellect and self-introspection. He encourages the reader to deeply think about the creation of Allah, the Highest in human being, existence, animals and nature.

Anas Abdul- Hameed Al-Qoz, supports the writing of Ibn-Qayyem by mentioning modern scientific discoveries, useful notes and beneficial pictures that help to achieve the objectives.
