Madarij as-Salikin

مدارج السالكين بين منازل إياك نعبد وإياك نستعين

By Ibn al-Qayyim 751h (1350 CE) 3 volumes

A profound work on the spiritual journey to Allah, structured as a commentary on al-Harawi's Manazil as-Sa'irin. Ibn al-Qayyim discusses the stations of the spiritual path (repentance, patience, gratitude, fear, hope, love, reliance, etc.) while grounding every concept in Quran and Sunnah. He corrects Sufi excesses while affirming the reality of spiritual purification, making this the most balanced work on Islamic spirituality from the Athari tradition.
