The worldly life is a short journey through one aspect of creation. This book contains studies pertaining to the heart and soul adapted from the writings of early scholars. They are the realities of faith, which include repentance, patience and worship. Complimenting them are reflections on some realities of life – creation, time, tests from Allah and aspirations toward advancement of the Muslim ummah. It is only through the reform of many individual souls that the reform of the ummah as a whole will follow as a natural result.
