Description :
In the final verses of
Surat al-Furqan, Allah Almighty describes the special characteristics of those elite human beings whom He has raised to a high status both in this world and in the Hereafter. They are ones whom Allah Almighty has honoured by joining their names with His. They are the ones who will be safe on the Day of Judgement. They are the ones whose souls are tranquil and whose hearts have found peace. They are the Slaves of the All-Merciful.
The Slaves of the All-Merciful are living proof of the authenticty of the Message of Islam. They have struggled with their selves and increased their devotion until they have become beloved to Allah, and He has purified their hearts. If we desire to be one of them, if we long to attain to their exalted ranks, we must hasten to learn about their special qualities and strive to imitate them.
This book highlights the special qualities of these people and how we too can achieve them.
Shaykh Mohsen al-Bayoumi first delivered the contents of this book as Friday sermons in Arabic in Kobe Mosque, Japan and later added more detail to them. His lectures were transcribed and translated by Abd an-Nur Anthony Brewer for the English speaking congregation and subsequently compiled in book form.
