Ad-Da’ wa ad-Dawa’

Ad-Da’ wa ad-Dawa’ (“The Disease and the Cure”) by Imam Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah is an important work on spiritual development, purification of the soul, and the healing of spiritual ailments. The author addresses the causes and consequences of sins, the power of desires, and the deceptions of Shaytan, and outlines ways to strengthen faith and purify the soul.

The work combines valuable admonitions and advice with topics from ‘Aqeedah and Islamic law, offering profound insights into dealing with sins and temptations. Ibn al-Qayyim wrote this book in response to a questioner who was suffering from a persistent trial and sin and was seeking a way to free himself from them.
