The book, “Saydu Al-Khaatir” is a wonderful book written by a scholar with deep knowledge and gifted with eloquence. Imam Ibn Al-Jawzi are transcribed these thoughts and meditations.

It is often the initial thoughts passing through our minds that have within them sparks of genius reflection. Imam Ibn al-Jawzi recognised the importance of capturing such thoughts before they slip through our conscious and become forgotten, so he did exactly that; he wrote down his ideas, musings and contemplative theories and compiled them in a distinctive work he entitled: ‘Saydu Al-Khaatir’.

Saydu Al-Khaatir is from the more unique set of works penned by Ibn al-Jawzi, for it contains many of his personal precepts, estimations and axioms covering a multitude of subject matters, mostly touching upon practical decisions that impact us. It is perhaps for this reason that the book has always been well received in scholarly circles, and continues to be a source of personal counsel, spiritual comfort and social awakening for many who face choices and daily challenges similar to what Ibn al-Jawzi describes herein.
