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."

Raghib Isfahani On Purifying the Heart

This video series is a curated collection of reflections and summaries drawn from the 30 Days with the Qur’an series, where each Juz was explored over the month of Ramadan. While not a full tafsir, these concise and heartfelt talks aim to highlight key themes and insights from each Surah to inspire a deeper connection with the Qur’an.

In this series, we’ve taken those reflections and focused them surah by surah, offering a dedicated video for each chapter of the Qur’an. The goal is to spark curiosity, build motivation, and encourage further study of the Qur’an in a manageable, engaging format.

Whether you're revisiting familiar Surahs or exploring new ones, these summaries are here to help you pause, reflect, and fall in love with the Qur’an all over again.
