This groundbreaking translation revives Imam Raghib al-Isfahani's seminal ethical treatise, integrating Qur'anic principles with philosophical depth. Isfahani's timeless exploration of moral virtue, the soul and spiritual refinement is characterized by his unique weaving of Qur'anic verses and prophetic traditions into ethical discourse.

"You hold in your hands one of the most important books of the Islamic tradition. The proof of Islam, Abu Hamid al-Ghazali, memorised by heart Kitab al-Dhari'a. Anyone familiar with Imam Ghazali's works will recognise the immense influence this book had on him... We owe a great debt to Dr Yasien Mohamed for bringing this exceptional work into English... With excellent knowledge of Arabic and English, coupled with a serious background in ethics, he provides us with a translation that works well and conveys the contents of the Imam's works."

How to Gain Fame and Glory [Hikam 86]

Command the Good, Change the World

In this insightful lecture, Dr. Mufti Abdur-Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera unpacks the foundational Islamic principle of Amr bil Ma‘ruf wa Nahy ‘an al-Munkar—enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong. While this concept is often spoken about, its true meaning, scope, and method of practice can be complex and sometimes misunderstood. Dr. Mangera simplifies these intricacies, making the subject accessible and relevant to everyday life.

The lecture explores the deeper purpose behind this divine directive, clarifies common misconceptions, and outlines practical ways Muslims can embody it with wisdom, balance, and compassion. With clarity and thoughtful examples, Dr. Mangera demonstrates how living by this principle not only refines personal character but also uplifts communities and drives positive societal change.

Command the Good, Change the World reminds us that nurturing virtue and addressing wrongs responsibly is not only a spiritual duty but also a powerful catalyst for transformation in the world around us.
