Combat with the Self

by Al-Hurr al-`Amuli, Muhammad B. Al-Hasan Al-Hurr Al-Amili

Combat with the Self is a compilation of traditions and sayings from the Holy Prophet and his Household (Hadith), classified under various subsections, all broaching the subject of the self, its vices, temptations, strengths and weaknesses. Based on the fact that one's self is one's greatest enemy, the book encompasses universally acknowledged issues of moral and ethical value from honesty and charity to humility and philanthropy. It consists purely of the sayings of the Imams, through which the reader will be left amazed at how congruent the Imams' words are with the message of the Qur'an .
