This series is different from two other Saudi ones published in Mecca by Dār ʿĀlam al-Fawāʾid which edits richly annotated texts of Ibn Taymiyya and Ibn al-Qayyim with extensive introductions. These two series - supervised by the scholar Bakr ibn ʿAbd Allāh Abū Zayd - are titled Āthār al-Imām Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya wa-mā laḥiqahā min aʿmāl and Āthār Shaykh al-islām Ibn Taymiyya wa-mā laḥiqahā min aʿmāl. They are now indispensable tools for anyone working on Ibn Taymiyya and his pupil, and it is regrettable that Iʿlām al-muwaqqiʿīn is not yet available to us among these useful editions. The one used by the translator offers a long introduction and a detailed apparatus mainly of erudite quotations and discussion of Ḥadīth.
