Description

The righteous predecessors, or the Salaf as-Salih, have written numerous books on self-purification. They left behind guidance for future generations, capturing their own life experiences on paper so that others wouldn’t struggle in the pursuit of moral and spiritual refinement. One such small, yet powerful book on self-purification is *”Uyubun Nafsī wa Mudawwatuhā”* (The Diseases of the Soul and Their Cures). This book was authored by the renowned scholar of the 5th century, Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami (may Allah have mercy on him). He was an expert in the diseases of the heart and spiritual ailments, as well as their remedies. Based on his life experiences, he wrote this book, making it one of the most concise yet profoundly effective works on the subject of self-purification.
