Description
This book originated as a response to a question from a man struck by a severe calamity, who found himself in a state of dire need. He realised that if he did not rid himself of this affliction, it would ruin him in both this life and the Hereafter. Despite his efforts to free himself from it, the trial only grew in severity and intensity.
Ibn al-Qayyim, with deep insight, diagnosed his condition and understood the plea hidden within the question. He then offered a detailed and fitting answer—one that has proven relevant and beneficial across all times and places.
