This book is a classic spiritual work by Imam Abdullah bin Alawi al-Haddad, a great scholar of Hadramaut. Its content consists of practical advice aimed at guiding Muslims in their daily spiritual lives. Imam al-Haddad emphasizes the importance of sincere intention, frequent remembrance of Allah (dhikr), maintaining prayer, controlling the ego, practicing detachment from worldly attachments, exercising patience in trials, and strengthening one’s relationship with Allah through worship and righteous deeds. Each chapter provides simple yet profound guidance on how to purify the heart and tread the path toward Allah. This book is not merely theoretical but highly practical, which is why it has been widely adopted by students of spiritual orders (ṭuruq) and Muslims seeking to deepen their practice of applied Sufism.
