Description
A Handbook of Spiritual Healing: Du’a and the Path to Inner Peace
Unhealthy addictions and depression are increasingly common struggles in today’s world. Many of us grapple with emotional turmoil, uncertainty, and a sense of darkness that can feel overwhelming. Over 700 years ago, a revered Muslim scholar, Ibn Qayim Al-Jawziya, offered a profound insight into a cost-free, universal psychotherapeutic remedy: “Happiness comes with a sincere du’a.” Ibn Qayim was a student of Ibn Taymiyyah, and together, their wisdom offers us timeless guidance for overcoming life’s difficulties.
This book builds upon the foundations laid by A Handbook of Spiritual Medicine and presents a more than just a collection of recommended du’as. Rather, it provides a thoughtful and systematic approach to aligning our emotions with powerful supplications from the Holy Qur’an and authentic ahadith (Prophetic sayings). Each du’a is carefully chosen for its deep and transformative potential, with the goal of guiding the reader towards ma’arifat (the higher knowledge of Allah) and istiqaamah (steadfastness) — qualities every Muslim strives for in their spiritual journey.
Key Features:
Holistic Healing: The book integrates spiritual remedies that help in overcoming personal struggles, emotional turmoil, and negative mental states.
Focused Du’a Framework: Rather than simply compiling du’as, the book offers a structured approach to aligning specific emotions and challenges with corresponding supplications.
Guided Transformation: Each du’a is linked with a clear, constructive purpose, helping the reader foster deeper knowledge of Allah while striving for a life of steadfast faith.
Timeless Wisdom: Drawing from the teachings of Ibn Qayim Al-Jawziya, Ibn Taymiyyah, and other Islamic scholars, this book roots its guidance in the Qur’an and authentic prophetic traditions.
This book offers readers not only a spiritual guide but a practical tool to align their emotional and spiritual well-being with the beautiful supplications found in Islam, fostering resilience, peace, and a deeper connection with Allah.
