The Wayfarer's Journey Towards Allah is a concise, reader-friendly abridgement of Imam Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah's celebrated classic, Madarij al-Salikin. Guiding believers on a lifelong path to the ultimate destination-being in the presence of Allah-the author maps out the essential spiritual "stages" that every traveller must understand. Some stages-such as repentance, patience, and truthfulness-accompany the seeker from the first step to the last.
In contrast, others are milestones that, once mastered, open new vistas of spiritual growth. All stages ultimately culminate in the supreme goal: the full realisation of tawhid, the oneness of Allah. Ibn al-Qayyim shows that worship is more than an outward ritual; it is a living state of the heart, in which every deed-public or private-is animated by sincere awareness of Allah and guided by revelation.
Praised for centuries by scholars and lay readers, this timeless guide distils profound wisdom into practical counsel, inviting each soul to embark on a purposeful journey toward its Lord.
