Tazkiyah The Islamic Path of Self Development

Tazkiyah, self-development, lies at the core of Islamic life and is essential for those purifying their souls and actions.

Self-development, tazkiyah, is an authentic Islamic practice. Yet self-development is rarely written about despite its centrality to Islamic life. This anthology is a practical manual in English to assist those who want to achieve self-development by purifying their souls and actions. It covers practical topics, including: management skills, daily routine, intention and commitment, communication skills, as well as delving into spiritual areas of interest, such as: man's relationship with Allah, constant striving and the Islamic worldview.

There is hardly any book in English that covers self-development from an authentic Islamic perspective. Yet, tazkiyah, self-development, lies at the core of Islamic life and there is need for a practical manual in English to assist those who want to achieve self-development by purifying their souls and actions. This anthology has been compiled to meet this need, by translating works that originally appeared in Urdu. It includes key contributions presented by well-known leaders of the Islamic Movement Mawlana Mawdudi, Ustadh Khurram Murad and others.
