Based On The Classical Work by Ibn Al Qayyim - “Al-Daa wal Dawaa”
When it comes to matters of the heart and spirituality, Ibn Al-Qayyim was a master. This book was written as a response to a question posed to Ibn Al-Qayyim that stated:
“What do the esteemed scholars and Imâms of the religion – may Allah be pleased with them – say about a man who was tried with an affliction, and knows that if it continues, it will ruin his worldly life and Hereafter? He has tried to repel it from himself by every means, yet it increases in nothing but intensity and strength. So what is the path to removing it? And what are the means to escaping it?”
If this question sounds familiar, it’s because we’ve all been there. We all know what it’s like to have a sin that is difficult to let go of. This course will give show you how to suffocate your sins and finally be free of them, in sha Allah.

Sahl Al-Tusturi
Many people journey to Allah by practicing good deeds while being unable to cease the sins that they commit. It’s the equivalent of a person who starts to exercise but does nothing to clean up their nutrition- in some areas, they might be stronger, but they don’t feel any healthier. In both cases, you have to get rid of the junk that is poisoning your health! This course is designed to show you how.
