Agenda to Change our Condition,Paperback - 88 pages,
by Hamza Yusuf and Zaid Shakir.
New - Expanded & Revised Edition.
Agenda to Change Our Condition is a concise treatise on the path to
taqwa (conscious awareness of our Lord). The Muslim tradition considers
taqwa the primary reason for our existence and the means by which we are ensured continued succor from our Creator. This classic volume elucidates a simple yet effective means to transform our inner world through spiritual struggle with the soul.
From the Introduction : Islam is submission to reality. It is a recognition and an acceptance of the way things really are, and not as they appear. Everything is in submission to Allah, who is the Real (
al-Haqq). Only humankind and willful spirits (
jinn) can rebel against our Creator. Over fourteen hundred years ago, this path of islam was renewed to mark the entry into the last phase of human experience on earth. It was renewed by the Prophet Muhammad,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, as the final Prophet and the seal of all Allah’s Prophets,
upon them be peace. He was its greatest sojourner, and he never deviated from its course. His blessed footprints remain clear and unchanged for anyone desiring to set out on that ancient Prophetic path.
Revised Edition : First published in 1999, this expanded edition provides clear and effective guidance for rectifying our state as conscientious and productive Muslims. With an emphasis on
Taqwa (God-consciousness) and
Ikhlas (sincerity), Agenda To Change Our Condition is an indispensable handbook for all Muslims striving for excellence in character and self-refinement.
Topics covered include
: * Taqwa: Its Definition and Its Benefits,
* The Heart and its Treatment,
* Practical Steps to Change Our Condition,
* a series of exercises for achieving Taqwa as well as three new appendices.
