Tazkiyah, self-development, lies at the core of Islamic life and is essential for those purifying their souls and actions
Self-development, 'tazkiyah', is an authentic Islamic practice. Yet self-development is rarely written about despite its centrality to Islamic life. This anthology is a practical manual in English to assist those who want to achieve self-development by purifying their souls and actions. It covers practical topics, including management skills, daily routine, intention and commitment, communication skills, as well as delving into spiritual areas of interest, such as man's relationship with Allah, constant striving and the Islamic worldview.
