A Handbook of Spiritual Medicine - Hardcover

The body's illnesses end when life does. The heart's illnesses are the ones that follow a person into the next life. A Handbook of Spiritual Medicine is a manual of tazkiyah, the purification of the self, organised like a medical reference: 26 diseases of the heart, each defined, with its signs and its treatments.

Jamal Parekh, who writes as Ibn Daud, draws the remedies from the Qur'an and the sayings of the Prophet ﷺ. The pages are in full colour and use a traffic-light system: red for the malady, green for the remedy, amber for the exceptions. There is also a section on what social media does to spiritual growth.
