This first book discusses the states of the self, the description of the hearts and the cause of their life and death, and the subsequent war within between the heart, the self, the angels and the devils. It provides amazing insight into inner realities that only the Allah sees. It is a manual for reform and self-discipline, taken from the words of a scholar who was arguably the most prolific to write authoritatively on such issues.

Highlighting key verses of the Qur'ān and authentic hadīth, this book highlights the authority of faith and its vital role in the heart's resilience, emphasizing that a good heart is not merely an abstract concept but the very key to a fulfilled life.

Delving into the darker aspects of the self, this volume reveals how an untamed self can damage and destroy the heart, providing fodder for Shaytān's relentless attacks.
