This gift pack includes:

* A Handbook of Spiritual Medicine -

This spiritual guide to the self is a handbook of tazkiyah or ‘self-purification. Not only does it illustrate the maladies of the human spiritual condition, but it also recognises the struggles and insecurities we all succumb to from time to time, and offers up the remedies too.

Ibn Daud has presented a fresh exposition of this traditional science in a contemporary format that can be applied to busy lives in the modern, hi-tech era. Its tabular design and colourful traffic light approach makes it easy to reference for a new generation. Ibn Daud also presents the real and potential negative impact that social media has on our spiritual growth, and compares this with practical ways that its influence can be harnessed for benefit.

The author 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.

* A Handbook of Accepted Prayers -

Unhealthy addictions and depression are widespread: some of us find the uncertainty and emotional darkness eating away at us. 700 years ago, a diligent Muslim scholar told of a cost-free, universal psychotherapeutic cure, writing: “Happiness comes with a sincere du’ā’.” He was Al-Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah (RA); his teacher was Ibn Taymiyyah (RA). Riding on the coat-tails of our pious predecessors, we too seek routes to accepted prayers and eternal reward within the tradition of the Holy Qur’ān and authentic ahādīth (Prophetic sayings).

This book builds on our debut ‘A Handbook of Spiritual Medicine’ and isn’t simply a compilation of recommended du’ā’s. Instead it is a carefully considered framework that aligns our emotions with the most beautiful du’ā’s, all of which have a profound constructive purpose: the aim is to transport us smilingly and with noblest etiquette towards the ma’arifat (higher knowledge of Allāh swt) and istiqāmah (steadfastness) that every Muslim seeks, deep down.
