Author
Ḥallāj al-Manṣūr
Description
This text focuses on existence and the spiritual well-being of the Muslim individual, detailing the inward and outward states of the human limbs and the intricacies of daily life through a Sufi perspective. The work examines how physical actions of the hands, tongue, eyes, and other limbs reflect or affect the heart’s inner condition. It further explores how everyday activities, from eating to speaking, can be transformed into acts of worship through conscious intention (niyyah). This manuscript offers insight into Sufi ethical psychology, where external behavior and internal spirituality are viewed as inseparable dimensions of a single, integrated path toward divine proximity.
