Langbeschreibung
This one-of-a-kind work by the erudite Imam, Abdul Rahman ibn al-Jawzi, is a potent admonition, driving the reader to awake from the slumber of the daily sleep-walk and take full advantage of the opportunty life affords before death takes its aim. Vividly alternating between bitter admonishment and sweet poetry, the author mends the much too forgotten wings of yearning for Allah's love and fear of His wrath so the reader may take flight. But this is not merely a work of religious rhetoric, but a literary world crafted of sublime language and rich parables in a manner only few would dare to try.
