This well known author, one of Ibn Taymiyyah's students, explains the nature of sabr(patience, fortitude) and its counterpart, shukr(gratitude) in a practical fashion, showing how these important spiritual qualities may be incorporated into everyday life. Although the original Arabic text was written over six centuries ago, the author’s words are even more relevant today.
An Excellent Book Specially in today's world when life is in such a haste that sometimes we forget the Importance and the necessity of Patience and gratitude

Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya
THE INVOCATION OF GOD
Al-Wabil al-Sayyib min al-Kalim al Tayyib

Translated by Michael Abdurrahman Fitzgerald &  Moulay Youssef Slitine
Paper Back 182 Pages Published by ITS UK

Remembrance of Allah through discussions of the ego, the nature of the body, the ephemerality of the World, the degrees of Prayer, fasting, charity and the purification of the heart.


In describing al-Wabil al-Sayyib, here translated into English for the first time as Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya on the Invocation of God, the author says, ‘We have mentioned [in it] nearly one hundred benefits of remembrance of God [dhikr], and the secrets of remembrance...This is a book of great usefulness.’ Written in the fourteenth century by the renowned theologian Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, this treatise movingly details the many blessings of the remembrance of God. Through discussions of the ego, the nature of the body, the ephemerality of the world, the degrees of prayer, fasting, charity, and the purification of the heart, this beautifully written work is a genuine contribution to Muslim spirituality. What makes Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya on the Invocation of God of great interest is that it illustrates the spiritual life of Ibn Qayyim and of his teacher, the Hanbalite reformer Ibn Taymiyya (1263AH/1328AD).

Provisions for the Hereafter - Mukhtasar Zad Al-Ma'ad
Author: Imam Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah.
Summarized by: Imam Muhammad Ibn 'Abdul Wahhab At-Tamimi
Publisher: DarusSalam (01-Sep-03)
Pages: 494 (Hardback)
 

Allah has sent the Messenger with guidance and the Religion of Truth. Strict adherence to the guidance of His Prophet is required from the followers of Islam. The scholars of the Islamic community have attached great importance to it and produced texts regarding 

This book is one of the most famous works written on the  Acts of Worship, Dealings and Habits in the light of the Divine guidance.

Important resources of knowledge for those who seek to know the Seerah of their Prophet as well as, the Fiqh learned from it. 
This is a book that is unique in that it explains the Sunnah through the Seerah and the Seerah through the Sunnah.

It is a profound classic work containing thousands of pages written by Imam ibn al-Qayyim while on the hajj journey, Pilgrimage, from Damascus to Makkah. Despite its being written from memory, the several thousand incidents, hadiths, ayah, fiqh benefits, as well as, names of the companions associated with them, were remarkably close to the truth, with marginal errors.

However, those who know the status, level of knowledge and Ta'hqiq that Imam ibn al -Qayyim had, will not be surprised to know the fact. Still, it is amazing how ibn al-Qayyim was able to write this volume while traveling to Hajj, especially since he was away from the resources of knowledge and enduring the hardships of travel. It is a blessing from Allah that is was possible for him to do so.

Imam Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyya was born into a scholarly and virtuous family in 691 AH/ 1292 A.D. At that time Damascus was a centre of literature and thought. Many schools were located there and he studied and graduated under the protection, direction and sponsorship of his father. He was particularly influenced by his Shaykh and teacher Ahmad b. Taymiyyah, and also by Ibn ash-Shirazi amongst others
