Description: About The Book It is well known that one cannot attain anything worthwhile in this life without enduring some level of hardship. This is all the more true for the one treading the path of Din and seeking Allah's pleasure. However, hidden within every hardship and difficulty are innumerable spiritual bounties. Once this reality is recognized, a believer can successfully navigate even the most difficult ordeals. This brief anthology unveils many of the secrets that lay concealed within some of the greatest struggles in life. Collected from the works of the great sage of the ummah, Mawlana Muhammad Ashraf Ali Thanwi and other great scholars, readers are sure to benefit from a complete change in perspective that will, inshaAllah, allow them to face the most challenging moments of their lives. About The Author His Fatwas and religious teachings were thought to be very authoritative even by many of his opponents. Thus, many of his contemporaries also sought his advice and held him in high esteem. For example, when the Indian scholar, historian and linguist, Sayyid Sulaiman Nadwi, wished to seek Islamic spirituality, he went to Thana Bhawan. Another Indian scholar, Abdul Majid Dariyabadi, did the same. Even Muhammad Iqbal once wrote to a friend of his that on the matter of Rumi's teachings, he held Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi as the greatest living authority.
