Today's high paced, materialistic, consumer society creates countless stresses which assail the human soul and pysche to create unprecedented spritual diseases.As a result, it becomes increasingly common to find Muslims suffereing from spiritual fatigue, anomie, alienation and many other malodies formerly prevelant among disbelieving victims of the post modern condition. Fortunately for us, our scholars have not left these conditions unaddressed, and have presented us with works that present both their diagnosis and cure.
Al-Muhasibi's Risalah al-Mustarshideen is translated as "Treatise for the Seekers of Guidance." Now, for the first time, this classical work, dealing with the purification of the soul, has been translated orally, in it's entirety, along with an indepth commentary. It is our sincere conviction that this moving narrative, by Imam Zaid Shakir, will prove an invaluable work of enduring benefit for the English-speaking Muslims.
