Spirituality

by Sayyid Ali Al-Hakeem

Mankind lives in this world surrounded by temptation and desire. Many of us fall into complacency – becoming more and more attached to this world while not paying much attention to the hereafter. God sent His messengers and scriptures to call mankind to avoid the temptations of this world and seek the eternal life of the hereafter, setting on a journey towards an everlasting Paradise.God created a system in which our free will and choices can lead us towards the greatest of spiritual heights to be the greatest of His creations. This spiritual journey is not a small or trivial matter. We cannot approach the task of spiritual advancement without first equipping ourselves with the proper tools and understanding.This book is a compilation of lessons in ethics revolving around specific discussions on man’s relationship with God and the effects of our actions on that relationship. The topics discussed here range from the methodology for self-betterment to building a relationship with the Creator. It is an effort to provide some practical wisdom for anyone seeking to reach closer towards the Almighty.

This was one of the books I picked up once in a while, every few months, not because I would call it boring or repetitive, but rather because it was an intensely educational book that pointed out different aspects of faith in our lives. Hence, it was more beneficial for me not to read it all at once, but instead to read it slowly while processing the information and self-reflecting.

The book was easy to follow and helped me seek practical knowledge in various aspects of faith. I would categorise it as a beginner-level book, in fact, it is very eloquently written for those who want to dive into a deeper journey of spirituality. May Allah (swt.) be pleased with everyone who contributed to this work, and may Allah (swt.) grant us readers the Tawfeeq to put our knowledge into action.

Read this book for the second time and I was once again reminded why I loved this book so deeply. This time I read it with another view and it didn't disappoint me at all.

I highly recommend this book for everyone who wants to boost his/her spirituality and their bond with God.
