الطريق السالم إلى الله تعالى

By the Shafi’i Allamah of his time, Ibn as-Sabbagh d.477ah, this work is a manual on how to lead our lives in a manner that would take us safely to Allah Ta’ala.

Covering aqidah, ibadat, akhlaq and zuhd, the focus of the book is on attaining the objective behind each of these.
Thus, the aqidah section focuses on building our iman on ghayb and building our yaqin on nubawwah and everything brought to us by Nabi Sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
The fiqh section therefore also focuses on the reality behind salah, fasting etc.

The section on akhlaq is filled with ahadith, athar and the wisdom of the pious, all written in an easy to understand, inspiring manner.

The book in essence is a sort of mini Ihya Ulum ad-Din, authored long before it though, with major differences in the content and style.

Expertly-edited using the only existing manuscript, the muhaqqiq tired himself in referencing ahadith and statements back to their sources and provided many explanatory footnotes.

Beautiful, high-quality edition in a thick volume of over 800 pages.
