[AH] Ahadith Islah Al Qulub / أحاديث إصلاح القلوب

Tazkiyyah, self-development, lies at the core of the Islamic life. Success in this life and the next depends very much on it. There are many works in Islamic literature on this subject, written from a variety of angles. This anthology has been compiled to meet the need of self-development from an authentic Islamic perspective. Mawlana Mawdudi, Mawlana Amin Ahsan Islahi and Ustadh Khurram Murad are the leaders of the Islamic Movement of the last century and their contributions are the bedrock for initiating the process of self-development.

Mawlana Faruq Khan, a well-known Islamic writer from India, while discussing self-development, brings out the importance and relevance of morals and motivation. Abdur Rashid Siddiqui in his contribution emphasizes the importance of making deliberate efforts to achieve self-development.

This anthology is a practical manual for those who want to achieve self-development by purifying their soul and actions.

What is Islamic medicine? Is it medical knowledge that is completely subject to the will of Allah The Exalted, or is it the art of treatment adopted and followed by Muslims when the Muslims were at the peak of their development? Or is it the most modern medicine, guided by divine teachings and completely in accordance with them?

On the basis of Islamic teachings in light of the Qur’an and Sunnah, this book devises the following six basic categories for Islamic medicine:

• Adhering to Islamic teachings and etiquette.
• Adhering to logic in practicing medicine.
• Holistic approach, paying equal attention to the body, mind and soul, for individuals as well as societies.
• Universal approach, taking into account all resources and aiming to benefit all people.
• Scientific approach, based on logical conclusions drawn from sound observations, accurate statistics and trustworthy experience.
• Excellence, achieving what other kinds of treatment have failed to achieve.
