Sea of Tears to Purify Your Soul: Based on the Teaching of Ibn Qayyim and Ibn Jawzi

This book reminds us all how life in this world is temporary. In fact, this transience determines the eternity of the next stage of our journey. Therefore, this book demands that you put aside worldly matters before you read it. This is because only you and Allah are discussed. This narrowing of focus is important so that we quickly realize that life is actually a very personal journey from the world to the grave.

Our journey is still very long. All that we build and build in the world will not be a provision, unless it is worth goodness for others and bears fruit in taking us closer to Allah. So, it is wretched for us to only collect a little provision for this very far journey.

This book invites us to present ourselves to Allah and fill the rest of our lives with various obedience to the commands of Allah. It greets every servant who feels they have a stained record of deeds and helps them clean it with tears. Going through this book is like entering an assembly of cries of forgiveness, and having the inner experience of the people who wake up in the night to pray to Allah.
