About
Imam Ibn Kathir
He was Hafidh Abul Fida Ismail
ibn Abi Hafs Shihabuddin Omar ibn Kathir ibn Daw ibn Kathir in Zar` the
Quraishite – originally from Busra (Syria) – and raised in Damascus. He
followed the Shafi`ee school of thought. Ibn Kathir was born in the year 701 AH
in an area called Majdal, near Busra, west of Damascus. His father died when he
was only four years old and was taken in by his brother and moved to Damascus in
706. Here, he learned from great scholars such as Ibn Asakir, Ishaq ibn Yahya
al-Amudi and the great Ibn Taymiyyah who was extremely close to him. He also
studied under various other sheikhs who gave him permission in fiqh and Hadith.
He made many academic contributions to Islamic sciences. The following are
amongst his most prominent:
- Tafseer of the Qur’an
- Al-Bidayah wan-Nihayah: a history of Muslims
from Adam until Ibn Kathir’s time
- At-Takmeel: a book on the science of Asmaaul
Rijal (profiles of transmitters of Hadith)
- Jami`ul Masaneed: a book that collects the
Hadith from ten major books of Hadith
- The classes of Shafi`ee scholars: a list of
scholars following the Imam
- Extraction of the traditions of Tanbeeh (a
Shafi`ee book of jurisprudence)
- The commentary on al-Bukhari (which he did
not finish)
- The book of laws (again, he did not complete
it)
- The summary to the science of Hadith; a
synopsis to the introduction of Ibn Saah’s work
- Extraction of the traditions to the summary
of Ibn Hajib
- Musnad of the two sheikhs (Abu Bakr and Umar)
- Biography of the Prophet, sallallahu `alayhi
wa sallam
- The epistle of Jihad
Al-Hafiz Ibn hajar Al-Asqalani said,'Ibn Kathir
lost his sight just before his life ended. He died in Damascus in 774A.H. May
Allah grant him Mercy and make him amongst the residents of Jannah (Heavenly
Garden)
