The Imam hafiz and historian 'Imad ad-Din Abu'l-Fida Isma'il ibn Umar ibn Kathir was born in 701/1301 near Busra in Syria and grew up in Damascus where he studied the traditional sciences of Islam with a wide variety of teachers among the most famous of them being Shaykh Alam ad-Din al-Qasim ibn Muhammad al-Barzali and Hafiz Jamal ad-Din Abu'l-Hajjaj Yusuf ibn Abd ar-Rahman al-Mizzi. However, it is as a student of Shaykh al-Islam Taqi ad-Din Ahmad ibn Abd al-Halim ibn Taymiyah that he is best remembered. He is well known for his history al-Bidayah wa'n-nihayah his work on the biography of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) as-Sirat an-nabawiyyah and his work on Quranic commentary Tafsir al-Quran al-Azim.
