Unhealthy addictions and depression are widespread: some of us find the uncertainty and emotional darkness eating away at us. Seven hundred years ago, a diligent Muslim scholar told of a cost-free, universal psychotherapeutic cure, writing: "Happiness comes with a sincere du'a'" He was Al-Qavyim Al-Jawziyyah (RA); his teacher was Ibn Taymiyyah (RA). In the footsteps of our pious predecessors, we too seek routes to accepted prayers and eternal reward within the tradition.

This book isn't simply a compilation of recommended du'a's. Instead it is a carefully considered framework that aligns our emotions with the most beautiful du'a's, all of which have a profound constructive purpose: the aim is to transport us smilingly and with noblest etiquette towards the ma'arifat (higher knowledge of Allah swt) and istigāmah (steadfastness) that every Muslim seeks, deep down.

Features:
• The Du'a Framework: the what, why, when and how of du'a'.
• More than 200 du'a's to help manage each of the 26 spiritual diseases.
• Glossary of more than 100 emotions, for the reader to identity their emotion and go directly to the relevant du'a.
• Each du'a is fully referenced from the Quran and authentic ahadith.
