5.0 out of 5 stars Will wake up the sleeping heart, February 16, 2005
By IbnAbidin (Canada) - See all my reviews
This relatively short treatise of Imam 'Alawi al-Haddad is a piercing reminder of where we are and where we are going. This book is both enlightening and terrifying (in a good way). The Shaykh guides us from the time before our conception all the way to our endpoint in the fire or the garden and reminds us of what is important in each phase of our life and what our responsibilities are.

This book is not indepth in its topics, but that is not its point. If you want to study every hadith about the judgment day for example then you can do that somewhere else. A brief outline is given of every stage, both the seen and the unseen, to give a basic view of what has and is going to occur, but the focus is on the spiritual and what we can do to change our state.

If you have a heart that is not dead this book will have a positive effect on you.
