The Plentiful Downpour of the Good Word

About this book

Amid life's din and the never-settling crowd of thoughts, an old ever-new question stands out: how does the heart recover its lost serenity? This book is no mere texts to be read, but a "downpour" of certainty pouring over souls wearied by heedlessness' dryness. Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim sails with us on a deep journey exploring the essence of "the good word," and how simple letters the tongue murmurs can turn into an antidote washing hearts' rust and polishing their insight. In this work's chapters you discover that remembrance is no mechanical repetition, but a state of total presence between the Creator's hands, the impregnable fortress protecting man from his self's scattering and the whisperings of shaken certainty. The book skillfully alternates between diagnosing the disease and prescribing the cure, showing how the heart stands upright through loving God and magnifying His command, and how trials turn, in the shade of contentment.
