DESCRIPTION:

Awaking From the Sleep of Heedlesness by Ibn al-Jawzi


TITLE: Awaking From the Sleep of Heedlesness

AUTHOR: Ibn al-Jawzi

PUBLISHER: Dar as-Sunnah

LANGUAGE: English

DESCRIPTION:
There are those who submit to Allah’s order and achieve success. Others are wasteful of time and thereby loss and regret. Whoever lives his life in accordance with Allah’s commands, will be rewarded handsomely with multiplied profits beyond imagination. The corrupt one who acts contrarily to Divine Pleasure will be destroyed.

The eternal life of unimaginable bliss in Paradise can only be realised by working towards it in this ephemeral wordly life. Whoever wastes his life is indeed a loser. Therefore a sensible person should understand the value of his life and reflect on his state, so that he captures that which can never be restored, if missed, His ruin lies in wasting thses golden opportunities.

This fourth masterpiece in the series expounds on the five stages of life: the first stage of encouraging and disciplining; the second stage of youthfulness, protecting the self and struggling against desires; the third of maturity; the fourth stage of old age; the fifth stage of decrepitude. The onset of these periods may vary slightly from person to person. Nonetheless these five stages are true. This is truly a work of genius.
