Description from the publisher:
Allah, the Exalted says,
"Do you not see how Allah sets forth a metaphor of a good word: a good tree
whose roots are firm and whose branches are in the sky? It bears fruit all the
time by its Lord's permission. Allah sets forth metaphors for people so that
hopefully they will pay heed." (Surah Ibrahim 14:24-25)
Allah has likened the statement of faith, which is the best of statements, with
a tree that is the best of trees bearing these noble characteristics. Its roots
are firm, it is always growing and maturing and it bears fruit all the time,
directing is numerous benefits and delectable fruits to its owner and others.
This tree varies greatly in the hearts of the believers, changing in accordance
to the variation of the qualities that Allah has described it with. Therefore it
is upon the servant to hasten towards acquiring knowledge about it, its
descriptions, that which leads to its existence and potency, its roots and its
branches. It is upon him to expend his efforts in actualizing this tree in terms
of knowledge and action for indeed his portion of goodness and success,
happiness in this life and the Hereafter, is dependant upon the extent to which
this tree (is implanted in the heart). (taken from the Author's introduction)

About
Sheikh ul Islam Ibn Taymiyah
Shaykh al-Islam Taqi ud-Din
Abu'l-Abbas Ahmad Ibn al-Halim ibn Abd al-Salam Ibn Taymiyah al-Hanbali
was born in , 661 AH (1263 AC) in Haran, which is now in Eastern Turkey, near
the border of northern Iraq..
His family had long been renowned for its learning , among his teachers, was
Shams ud-Din Al-Maqdisi, first Hanbali Chief Justice of Syria following the
reform of the judiciary by Baibars. The number of Ibn Taimiyah's teachers
exceeds two hundred. Ibn Taimiyah was barely seventeen, when Qadi Al-Maqdisi
authorized him to issue Fatwa (legal verdict). Qadi remembered with pride that
it was he who had first permitted an intelligent and learned man like Ibn
Taimiyah to give Fatwa. At the same age, he started delivering lectures. When he
was thirty, he was offered the office of Chief Justice, but refused, as he could
not persuade himself to follow the limitations imposed by the authorities.
Imam Ibn Taimiyah's education was essentially that of a Hanbali theologian and
jurisconsult. But to his knowledge of early and classical Hanbalism, he added
not only that of the other schools of jurisprudence but also that of other
literature.
He had an extensive knowledge of Quran, Sunnah, Greek philosophy, Islamic
history, and religious books of others, as is evident from the variety of the
books he wrote.
