Inner Dimensions of the Salah

The author's Asrar Al-Salah is from among powerfully inspiring works that take the reader through a vivid journey of the stages of prayer and the profound spiritual significance combined with the physical actions that symbolize submission, surrender and humility to Allah.

Medicine of the Prophet
'Medicine of the Prophet' is a combination of religious and medical information, providing advice and guidance on the two aims of medicine - the preservation and restoration of health - in careful conformity with the teachings of Islam as enshrined in the Qur'an and the 'hadith', or sayings of the Prophet. Written in the fourteenth century by the renowned theologian Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (d. 751AH/1350AD) as part of his work 'Zad al-Ma'ad', this book is a mine of information on the customs and sayings of the Prophet, as well as on herbal and medical practices current at the time of the author. In bringing together these two aspects, Ibn Qayyim has produced a concise summary of how the Prophet's guidance and teaching can be followed, as well as how health, sickness and cures were viewed by Muslims in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The original Arabic text offers an authoritative compendium of Islamic medicine and still enjoys much popularity in the Muslim world. This English
Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya on Knowledge
'Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya on Knowledge: from Key to the Blissful Abode (Miftah Dar al-Sa`ada)' is an abridgement of the first volume of 'Key to the Blissful Abode', a popular title by the renowned theologian and jurist Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya. In it, Ibn al-Qayyim focuses on the importance of knowledge and willpower, as means through which a person may attain Paradise. Willpower is the door and knowledge-in particular, knowledge which pertains to God and His Attributes, the Qur'an and the example of the Prophet-is the key. Ibn al-Qayyim discusses the virtues and benefits of knowledge over wealth and worldly matters; the path to knowledge; the importance of pursuing knowledge and applying it to gain guidance from God and protect oneself from doubts; the superiority of the scholar over the worshipper; the necessity of using knowledge and willpower as the bases for all actions if one is to achieve spiritual bliss. Ibn al-Qayyim then concludes 'Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya on Knowledge: from Key
Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya on Divine Wisdom and the Problem of Evil
Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya on Divine Wisdom and the Problem of Evil is a translation of selections from two of Ibn Qayyim's books Key to the Blissful Abode and Remedy for Those who Question on Matters Concerning Divine Decree, Predestination, Wisdom and Causality. As with all his other writings, Ibn al-Qayyim's foremost goal is to establish the wisdom of God, the primacy of the Qur'an and Sunna, and the congruity between reason and revelation. In the present selections, Ibn al-Qayyim focuses on the application of the wisdom of God to the existence of evil.Ibn al-Qayyim first discusses twenty-six wise purposes behind God creating humanity and settling them on Earth. His perspective is that whatever exists in this world is either purely or preponderantly good, or indirectly leads to a greater good. Ibn Qayyim then explores how the presence of evil allows the manifestation of many of God's Beautiful Names, glorious attributes and compassionate actions. While for humanity, the existence of
Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya on the Invocation of God
Written in the fourteenth century by the renowned theologian Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, 'Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya on the Invocation of God' is a translation of one of his most popular works, 'al-Wabil al-Sayyib', which movingly details the many blessings of the remembrance of God. Through discussions of the ego, the nature of the body, the ephemerality of the world, the degrees of prayer, fasting, charity, and the purification of the heart, this beautifully written work is a genuine contribution to Muslim spirituality. What makes 'Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya on the Invocation of God' of great interest is that it illustrates the spiritual life of Ibn al-Qayyim and of his teacher, the Hanbalite reformer Ibn Taymiyya. As Ibn al-Qayyim says in the 'al-Wabil al-Sayyib', 'We have mentioned [in it] nearly one hundred benefits of remembrance of God [dhikr], and the secrets of remembrance... This is a book of great usefulness.'---Translated for the first time into English by Michael Abdurrahman

Kalilah and Dimnah
Timeless fables of loyalty and betrayal Like Aesop's Fables, Kalilah and Dimnah is a collection designed not only for moral instruction, but also for the entertainment of readers. The stories, which originated in the Sanskrit Panchatantra and Mahabharata, were adapted, augmented, and translated into Arabic by the scholar and state official Ibn al-Muqaffa? in the second/eighth century. The stories are engaging, entertaining, and often funny, from 'The Man Who Found a Treasure But Could Not Keep It,' to 'The Raven Who Tried To Learn To Walk Like a Partridge' and 'How the Wolf, the Raven, and the Jackal Destroyed the Camel.' Kalilah and Dimnah is a 'mirror for princes,' a book meant to inculcate virtues and discernment in rulers and warn against flattery and deception. Many of the animals who populate the book represent ministers counseling kings, friends advising friends, or wives admonishing husbands. Throughout, Kalilah and Dimnah offers insight into the moral lessons Ibn al-Muqaffa?
