Praise be to Allah Lord of the universe, Creator and Sustainer of mankind; and may His peace and blessings be upon our beloved Messenger Muhammad, his family, Companions, and those who follow them until the Day of Judgement.
When Allah the Almighty, in His infinite wisdom and divine mercy, created the human soul, He intended its eternal abode to be in the Garden of Bliss. However, the journey to this eternal abode is indeed full of many obstacles, be it the splendours of this world, the passions of our lower self (nafs), or the whispers of Satan. It is the successful preparation for this journey that will - with the Mercy of Allah - ultimately lead us to that Garden. This preparation is based on comprehending the Divine Message and internalising its teachings in our lives. Many a noble and strong- willed soul has undertaken this journey, and what lies in these pages are the valuable pieces of advice that represent the fruits of their experience.

It has been reported that the Prophet said, "The one who wakes up in the morning and complains about the scarcity of livelihood, it is as though he is complaining against his Lord. The one who wakes up and is sad over the affairs of the dunya, it is as though he has wo- ken up angry with Allah. And the one who humbles himself in front of a rich man because of his wealth will have lost two-thirds of his Religion."
Abu Bakr al-Siddiq
said, "There are three things which cannot be attained through another three: wealth with hope, youth with dyeing [the hair], and health with medication."
'Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "Good interaction with people is half of intelligence, good questioning is half of knowledge, and good planning is half of subsistence."
