Who Was Imam Ibn Rajab?
Imam ‘Abd ar-Rahman ibn Ahmad ibn Rajab al-Hanbali (d. 795 AH) was a
scholar whose name continues to echo in gatherings of knowledge.
Grounded in the Hanbali tradition, he mastered Hadith, Fiqh, and
Tazkiyatu an-Nafs, and wrote with a clarity that cuts through
generations.
He was known not just for what he taught, but how he taught it - with
humility, sincerity, and a heart that longed to revive the way of the
early generations.
His writings, numbering over 20 major works, continue to be studied and
loved by students across the world. This Dawrah is a chance to study
with that legacy, not in front of a screen, but in the masjid, where
knowledge is inherited.
