About Imam Ibn al-Jawzi (RH)

Imam Abu al-Faraj Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Jawzi (RH) was a Hanbali scholar of the sixth century after the Hijrah, said to have lived from about 509 or 510 AH to 597 AH. He was a hadith scholar, historian and preacher, and is described as one of the most prolific authors in Islamic history, with the number of his works put at over seven hundred. Among his other writings are Sifat al-Safwa, on the lives of pious figures, and Minhaj al-Qasidin, an abridgement of al-Ghazali’s Ihya Ulum al-Din.

What Talbis Iblis is about

In Talbis Iblis, Ibn al-Jawzi (RH) examines the ways in which Iblis misleads different groups of people. The book looks at how deception can reach scholars, worshippers, leaders and ordinary people alike. It is known for its warning that a person can be led away not only through open sin but also through ideas that look good on the surface. Its overall aim, as described by those who have translated it, is to expose the traps of the devil so that readers can avoid them and help others do the same.

• How Shaytan plants doubt and confusion in the mind
• How people can be misled in matters of belief and worship
• How the love of fame, wealth and praise can spoil good deeds
• The importance of knowledge as a protection against deception
• The need for self-examination and sincerity before Allah

Why this book still speaks to readers today

The methods of Iblis have not changed. Heedlessness, pride, show and wasted time still lead people away from what matters. Reading Talbis Iblis encourages the reader to look inward: Am I praying with sincerity? Am I proud of my knowledge? Is my worship in line with the Qur’an and the example of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ? These are questions worth asking, and a classic like this helps one ask them honestly.

Ibn al-Jawzi (RH) also reminds readers that some of his judgements on specific groups and practices reflect his own scholarly view, and that scholars have discussed them with respect. A reader should therefore benefit from the book’s warnings while seeking guidance from reliable teachers on matters of dispute.

Who should read Sahih Talbis Iblis

How to benefit from the book

Read a small section each day and reflect on one lesson. Ask yourself where that trap might appear in your own life, and decide on one action to protect yourself.

Discuss what you read with a teacher you trust so that the lessons are understood in the right way.
