This is a course workbook for the study of Ibn al Qayyim's tremendous advice for himself and the people of Sunnah from his Nuniyyah. The advice consists of 73 verses of poetry that cover a variety of topics that are of the utmost importance for every Muslim. The great scholar 'Abd al-Raḥmān bin Nāṣir al-Sa'dī said the following about the importance of studying Ibn al Qayyim's tremendous advice to the people of the Sunnah: "(Ibn al Qayyim) here engages in a beneficial introduction and comprehensive advice that every student of knowledge is in need of, regardless of whether (his studies) pertain to knowledge of the fundamentals or of the secondary tenets. Better yet, it is fitting to be assigned precedence over the subject matter of the etiquette of the scholar and the student. This is because it entails such pieces of advice needed by every person desiring success in both worlds."
