Course description: Ibn al-Qayyim’s heartfelt advice to his friend contains comprehensive advice about seeking Allah’s guidance in every matter and the means to persist upon the Straight Path. Course participants, whether young or old, beginner or advanced, will benefit from Ibn al-Qayyim’s insight on how to achieve happiness in this life and salvation in the next. This concise tract serves as a practical application of Ibn Tamiyyah’s essay on “al-Ubudiyya,” previously taught at UMM, and is a great summary of the other works of the “heart doctor” Ibn al-Qayyim.
