Author : Nasiruddin Al-Khattab
This book is an abridged translation of 'Uddat as-Sabirin wa dhakhirat ash-shakirin, a work which is well-known in the Arab world but which has been inaccessible to English-speaking Muslims until now. In this book, the author explains the Islamic concept of sabr (patience, fortitude) and its counterpart, shukr (gratitude), in a practical fashion which shows how these important spiritual values may be incorporated into everyday life. Although written over six centuries ago, Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah's words are still relevant -- perhaps more so than ever -- today. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (1292 - 1350 CE) was a Muslim scholar who lived in Damascus, Syria. He studied first under his own father, the qayyim (attendant) of the school of al-Jawziyyah, and then under the great scholar Ibn Taymiyyah. He compiled and authored many books, including the famous Zad al-Ma'ad (The Provision of the Hereafter), and was a contemporary of other leading scholars such as Ibn Kathir , Ibn Rajab, and others. From Islamic Psychology TOWARDS ISLAMIC PSYCHOLOGY is a planned series of books which, drawing on the Islamic scholarly her itage, will offer practical advice rooted in the Qur'an and Sunnah, to address many of the psychological woes of our modern age.
