My Advice to Ahl Al-Sunnah by Shaykh Abu al-Hasan Malik al-Akhdar

The Path to Allah and the Hereafter- By Shaykh Dr. Khalid Adh-Dhafiri حفظه الله - Translated by Shaykh Dr. Abdulilah Lahmami.

This book is based on a beautiful poem by the esteemed scholar of Tafsīr, Sheikh ‘Abdulraḥmān b. Nāsir al-Sadī (raḥimahullah). The context of the poem is concerning the Hereafter and the characteristics of the believers yearning for it. This poem highlights the believers’ preparation to achieve happiness in this life and the Hereafter. They are the most content people since they are living a life to please Allāh which is their goal. They are not deceived by this world and Satan. Rather, they are careful in order to preoccupy themselves before Satan has a chance to occupy them.
