”Tawbah: Turning to Allah in Repentance,” Ibn al-Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah delves into the spiritual essence of repentance without neglecting its physical manifestations and conditions.
This profound treatise is extracted from his seminal work ”Madārij al-Salikin Bayna Manazil Iyyaka Na’budu Wa Iyyāka Nasta’in” [The Stages of the Travelers Between the Stations of ”You Alone We Worship and You Alone We Seck Help From”], widely regarded as one of Ibn al-Qayyim’s finest contributions to Islamic literature.
Grounded in Quranic verses and prophetic traditions, the author expertly navigates both the outward and inward dimensions of repentance. He illuminates its true nature and the conditions necessary for its acceptance, offering readers a comprehensive guide to spiritual purification and closeness to Allah.
This work stands as a beacon for those secking to understand and implement genuine repentance in their lives, blending scholarly insight with practical wisdom for the modern seeker.
