Purification of the Heart by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf
English Translation and Commentary of Imam al-Mawlud's 'Matharat al-Qulub.'
This present text is based on the poem known as Matharat al-Qulub (literally, Purification of the Heart), which offers a means by which purification can be achieved. It was written by a great scholar, Shaykh Muhammad Mawlud al-Ya'qubi al-Musawi al-Muratani, may Allah be pleased with him.
As his name indicates, he was from Mauritania in West Africa. He was a brilliant scholar who mastered all of the Islamic sciences, including the inward sciences of the soul. Imam Mawlud directs his attention to the diseases, discusses their causes, and offers cures. His teachings imply that purification is a life-long process, not something that is applied once and then forgotten.
Purity of heart never survives a passive relationship. Rather, it requires constant consideration. This book hopes to introduce to readers how that is done.
This exploration of Islamic spirituality delves into the psychological diseases and cures of the heart.
Diseases examined include :
* Envy,
* Lust,
* Miserliness,
* Hatred,
* Treachery,
* Arrogance,
* Ostentation,
* Malice ... and other afflictions that assail people and often control them.
The causes and practical cures of these diseases are discussed, offering a penetrating glimpse into how Islam deals with spiritual and psychological problems and demonstrating how all people can benefit from these teachings.
