Imam Nawawi (ra) delivers another indispensible classic - this time in the form of his Kitab al-Adkhar. I'm still pursuing this text at my leisure and will be for a longtime to come. A truly remarkable companion-guide for any serious believer and wayfarer unto the Divine. This is an essential core text that should be gracing every Muslim's home-library and lends itself nicely to being used as a constant reference. This book is ideal in helping to cultivate inward piety (Taqwa) and outward righteousness in emulation of the pure Prophetic example. The work covers a comprehensive range of scenarios and situations that we are likely to encounter in our day-to-day lives and provides ample examples of invocations and supplications to hold onto in these troubling times. A remarkable source of light and solace for the discerning and thus an indispensable source for all those who aspire to nearness to Allah - don't we all intrinsically yearn for this closeness? Respond to your innate calling; invoke!
