A Journey to God: Reflections on the Hikam of Ibn Ata'illah - Paperback

by Jasser Auda (Author)

• There is no real distance between you and God for you to journey.
• Actions are like statues that only come to life with the spirit of sincerity.
• Trying to discover the flaws within you is better than trying to discover the worlds hidden from you.
• The tree of humiliation stems from a seed of neediness.
• If the light of deep faith shines on you, you will see the Hereafter before journeying to it.
• His most perfect blessing on you is to give you just enough.
• How often has a long life brought about so little, and how often has a short life brought about so much?

The ultimate yearning of the human soul is to return to its Lord in a state where He is pleased with His servant and the servant is pleased with his Master. This book offers unique insights to prepare you for the journey to God in light of the wisdom of the great spiritual master Ibn Ata'illah al-Iskandari as expounded in his masterpiece al-Hikam and the universal laws as ordained by the Divine.
