Abstract

This paper aimed to examine previous studies on the ṣūfī thoughts of Ibn Qayyim al-Jawzīya (d. 751/1350), a prominent jurist, theologist, and apparently Qādirī ṣūfī of the Ḥanbalī School in Damascus during the Baḥrī Mamlūk period (1250–1382), and presents the prospectus for future research in this area. Although the Ḥanbalī School and Sufism have been thought to be incompatible in Western scholarship for a long period, nevertheless, historically, this opinion has been proven incorrect. In this respect, reflecting on Ibn al-Qayyim's deliberations would be helpful in considering their relationships and affinities. He was generally known to be a disciple of Ibn Taymīya (d. 728/1328); however, he should be recognized for more than merely developing his master's ideas. He devoted himself to Sufism and left us with many writings focusing on Sufism, such as his enormous work Madārij al-sālikīn (Ranks of the Devine Seekers). Because of the interests of salafīya, wahhābīya, and their relationship with his master, previous studies have mainly focused on his perspective as a jurist and theologist. However, his contribution to the realm of Sufism should not be underestimated for its elucidation of the relationship between Sufism and the Ḥanbalī School and the characteristics of Ḥanbalī Sufism.
