This volume is an authoritative abridgment of Ibn al-Jawzī's Minhāj al-Qāṣidīn, itself a refined recension of Imām al-Ghazālī's Iḥyāʾ ʿUlūm al-Dīn. The work distills the juristic, ethical, and spiritual architecture of early Sunnī scholarship into a structured four-part framework grounded in Qur'ān, Sunnah, and the inherited method of uṣūl al-fiqh. The manuscript opens with acts of worship-knowledge, purification, ṣalāh, zakāh, ṣawm, ḥajj, Qur'ān, and dhikr-presented through their legal foundations and devotional rationale.

The second chapter treats customs and social dealings: hospitality, marriage, livelihood, lawful and unlawful earning, brotherhood, travel ethics, and al-amr bi'l-maʿrūf. The third section examines destructive flaws of the soul-anger, appetite, pride, ostentation, envy, and the diseases of the heart-offering a disciplined analysis of their causes and prescribed remedies. The final chapter outlines the means of salvation: repentance, patience, gratitude, fear, hope, zuhd, tawḥīd, trust, sincerity, intention, self-scrutiny, contemplation, and remembrance of death.

Drawing exclusively upon the manuscript, this edition maintains juristic sobriety and textual restraint, providing scholars, students, and libraries with a reliable doorway into classical Islamic legal-ethical literature.

The abridgment of Minhāj al-Qāṣidīn used in this volume is derived from Ibn al-Jawzī's refinement of Imām al-Ghazālī's Iḥyāʾ ʿUlūm al-Dīn. The English translator, Waʾil A. Shihab, explains in the Translator's Note that this work is an abridged translation, drawing Qur'ānic renderings from Yusuf Ali and adding explanatory comments only where necessary . His aim, as stated in the preface, is to provide readers access to a disciplined and authentic summary of the classical legal-ethical heritage of Islam.
