A Handbook of Spiritual Medicine

Product Information

Ibn Daud draws from 1000+ Qur’ānic verses and authentic ahādīth, inspiring mindfulness of the Almighty Cherisher and His Beloved Prophet, as well as drawing on the 11th and 12th Century works of the ‘Proof of Islam’ and wondrous sage, Imām Abū Hāmid Al-Ghazālī. Accordingly, to understand the full or intended meaning of the word or the verse, Muhsin Khan’s translation has also been included in this edition. I asked the author to make a few corrections, and it is testament to the idea that he has adopted the very spirit of the book that he was very quick to agree to them. Well 2 points for the effort and it states the obvious i thought that this book will contain more in depth details and philosophy but it is a very good book for teenagers that we need to attract them and make them learn more about our religion.

Their generosity of heart, compassion for those less fortunate, and raising us to be confident in our Muslim identity served as the backdrop to our upbringing. Whereas this, with whatever you are struggling with my brothers and sisters, this book has it all, with qur'anic teachings and the sunnah. I took my time reading it making sure I self reflect – this book has helped on realising what I need to work on and also the importance of self purification. The ‘Handbook of Spiritual Medicine’ is to be commended as a clear presentation of the science of internal purification in a format which enables easy access to symptoms of spiritual illnesses and their cures.Not only does it illustrate the maladies of the human spiritual condition, it recognizes the struggles and insecurities we all succumb to from time to time, and offers up the remedies. Often we get overwhelmed with feelings that bring out the worst in us and we are unable to move forward and as such, we fall into a downward spiral.

The tree diagram allows the reader to identify an illness quickly along with its remedies and symptoms. This guidebook, drawing on the 11th and 12th Century works of the ‘Proof of Islam’ and wondrous sage, Imām Abū Hāmid Al-Ghazālī, can be applied to our busy lives in the modern, hi-tech era, and will prove accessible to people of all ages, all denominations: believers and non-believers alike. This makes it ideal to keep, if you are feeling ‘envious’, ‘negative’, ‘angry’ or even ‘greedy’ you can focus on the relevant section and check if the symptoms match what you are experiencing and then see the steps you can take to manage the way you are feeling.A beautifully structured and well-presented work, highlighting one of the most important aspects of Islamic teachings - purifying the heart from blameworthy character traits and replacing them with praiseworthy ones. After a quick flick through the handbook, I was immediately impressed by its simple but unique layout. The idea is to read a section you feel is relevant to you and then revisit the other topics at a later date when they are relatable. Fantastic book mashaAllah; one that every Muslim who’s serious about wanting to purify his/her heart must own. I pray Allāh ﷻ accepts the work of brother Jamal and makes it a means of attaining his everlasting pleasure.
