[Shahrian Shihab · Rating 5 out of 5]

Beautiful and concise book on Sunni Tasawwuf authored by one of the disciples of Imam Ibn Taymiyya.

[Abdul-Rehman Asif · Rating 5 out of 5]

Short, yet sweet. This book provides a beautiful introduction to the pursuit of becoming a Wali of Allah, a term largely misunderstood and misused in recent times. The Imam shows us that to become a protector of divine legislation, one must first establish a connection between himself and the Creator. Through these eight concise chapters, the reader will come out with a revived spirit and a renewed intention toward pleasing Allah.

Very brief and concise book by the great Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Wasiti, also known as Ibn Shaykh al-Hazzamiyyin. He covers many different ways for a person to draw closer to Allah and provides manners that the students should have. I would defiantly recommend it for anyone that is looking for a good and small work on Tazkiyah.
