Radiant Guidance (Adabu'l - Murid)

This short work by Muhyiddin Ibn al-'Arabi offers clear, sincere guidance for anyone who is walking the path of spiritual development. Rooted in the tradition of tasawwuf, it outlines the manners, mindset, and qualities expected of a seeker, especially one under the guidance of a spiritual teacher.With topics like anger, repentance, taqwa (piety), and letting go of love of the world, the book doesn't speak in abstract terms. It speaks plainly, like a teacher advising his student - with warmth, but also with seriousness. Each chapter serves as a reminder: control yourself, guard your heart, keep your intention sincere.The section on Ihsan reminds us what it means to live with awareness of Allah. The chapter on Dhikr emphasizes consistency, while the one on Tawbah reminds the reader not to delay. Practical and personal, it helps keep the focus on what truly matters - especially in times when distractions are many.More than a list of rules, this book is a gentle companion that helps shape the character of a seeker, inwardly and outwardly. It calls for honesty, humility, and daily effort - not perfection.A helpful glossary is also included, making it easier for newer readers to follow the terms used throughout.Whether you're beginning the path or trying to return to it, this text offers quiet but firm direction for staying grounded and sincere.
