A review by billiebills
Inner Dimensions of the Prayer by ابن قيم الجوزية
5.0
‘O worshipper, be in the salah like a man who agreed to guarantee the debt of a person who turned out to be deceitful and kept delaying the payment of his debt. And because you are the guarantor of this man you will be called to pay the debt in place of him, so you call for every form of available help to force this man to pay his debt in order to release yourself from this commitment’
(the debt here i believe is our sins and nafs/desires)
- such a beautifully written book. credits both to ibn qayyyim may Allah have mercy on him and the translator. a lot of times translated Islamic books lack the heart in which the scholars wrote in. books which were originally *one* letter to an afflicted person becomes books which read like commandments and I feel that they only translate the rules etc and not translate well the eloquence. arabic is an easy language to an extent but translating it is quite a feat.
definitely need the physical copy of this <3
{ note: finding a quote one of my friends here hasn’t used in their reviews wasnt as hard as I thought ahah)
