by Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya (Author)

In this short yet substantial book, the author pens a beautiful message of heartfelt advice to his friend Al-Din. He invokes Allah's Kindness, Guidance and Blessing upon him.

The author explains the need in seeking Allah's Guidance in life, in all of our affairs and the means to persist upon the Good and Straight Path. The knowledge-based content of this book shows the Imam's attention to detail. He explains everything in an easy to understand manner.

The book is modelled as sincere advice to his friend that will of course, be of wider benefit to all who read it, if God is willing. The Imam says that if you come to know what he have explained (in this message), then you will know that the ultimate pleasure, perfect delight and rejoice, grace and good life are found only in the Straight Path and worshipping Allah alone. And only then you will feel comfort and the longing for the afterlife and to meeting Him, the Merciful, the Most Merciful. I have never regretted anything as much as my regret over a day on which the sun sets and my life span decreases while my good deeds have not increased. Ibn Masud (RadiyAllahlu anhu)
