How are we to become true believers who seek God's good pleasure?
How are we to become mindful of God, to be thankful or worshipful?
How are we to control our anger and pride?
How are we to follow the example of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)?
This inspirational book of wise advice answers these questions and guides us toward spiritual life.
"Let us live for Allah. Let us love what He loves and like what He likes; let us dislike what He dislikes and hate what He hates....Let us passionately involve ourselves in our society to do His will, but still, passionately let our hearts yearn for His pleasure. Similarly, let the life of the prophet live again in our lives... So, also, let nothing motivate us but an intense longing to please our Lord in the next world, and let that expectation give a decisive shape to our life here." - Khurram Murad
