The book offers practical solutions to common problems, problems that if unresolved, could lead to life-long damage to your spiritual health, this dunya and most importantly, your akhirah.The importance of spiritual wayfaring cannot be emphasised enough, particularly in our times where the material realm is emphasised as the only means to human happiness and progress.

The tree diagram allows the reader to identify an illness quickly along with its remedies and symptoms.It was this text that was the inspiration, in my mind, to one day create a ‘guidebook’ of sorts that would focus on self-purification.
