Who was Izz al Din Abd al-Aziz ibn Abd as-Salam?

Known as Sultan al-‘Ulama, Imam Izz al-Din Abd as-Salam was a courageous scholar who stood up to the tyrants of his time. He advised Muslim rulers at a time when the Islamic world was under attack from Tartars and Crusaders. He was described by Ibn al-Imad al-Hanbali as the Sheikh of Islam.

An expert in Islamic law, he wrote many brilliant and important books. His literary legacy is very valuable, particularly in the fields of Shafi’i jurisprudence, Quranic jurisprudence, tafsir, and Sufism. His main and enduring contribution was his masterpiece on Islamic legal principles Qawa’id al-Ahkam fi Masalih al-Anam. Al-Qawa’id al-Sughra, or al-Fawa’id fi Mukhtasar al-Qawa’id is its summary.

He died in 660AH.

al-Fawaid fi Ikhtisar al-Maqasid

The primary purpose of the Shariah is to promote benefit for the individual and society and to minimise harm. Izz al-Din Abd as-Salam was able to see the bigger picture, which is an art, and shed light on how Islamic commandments and prohibitions ensure what is best for man. The Fiqh provides guidance on how to navigate the best route through a variety of situations.

He has been commended by scholars in all generations and lauded for his originality.
