There are many books in English that present Sufi doctrine, but few that can be used as practical travel guides along the Path. Originally written in classical Arabic, this volume is in widespread use among Sufi teachers in Arabia, Indonesia, and East Africa; its devotions, prayers, and practical ethics are invaluable as a guide along the Sufi Way.

Advice,
By Munir "ahmad" (Cerritos, California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Book of Assistance Hb (Hardcover)
The genius of this book is that it condenses the collected wisdom of centuries of Muslim spiritual doctors such as Imam-al Ghazali into a handy, brief manual. For centuries books like this have shaped men and women of all races, from Indonesians to Swahilis, into shining examples of godliness and beautiful conduct. Anyone who implements the advice here can become what Muslim mystics call a complete, perfected human being, characterized by everything from kindness and charity (including a cheerful countenance), to waking up in the middle of the night to worship, to inward states such as thankfulness and trust in God's will. Like all men of God, Imam al-Haddad's writing is clear, sober and eloquent.

Simple and clear understanding of Islam,
By Gogol (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Book of Assistance (Paperback)
If you realy wish to have a knowledge of the Muslim faith without going through numerous books many which may be of dubious value then you need look no further than here. All of the books of Imam al-Haddad are clear and simple to understand they avoid complicated terminology and explain Islam as it is, a simple faith that can be understood and practiced by anyone regardles of location in the world.
Mostafa al-Badawi is a first rate translater I would also recomened his book 'Historical sites of Madina' read it before the Saudi government wipes away forever the memory of what Islam was.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Book of Assistance (Paperback)
I loved this book so much! It has everything a Muslim needs to know whether you are a sufi or not. It is also a great read for non-muslims who are interested in learning more about Muslims and Islam.
What a beautifully written book.
