The Kitab al-Hikam of Shaykh Ibn ‘Ata’illah al-Iskandari is the inspiring explanation of the soul’s journey through this life\, as determined through the Qur’an and Sunna. Along with his treatises and intimate discourses (munajat)\, the substantive feature of the work is the author’s 264 spiritual aphorisms (hikam)­—concise\, comprehensive and sublime sayings on self purification (tazkiya)\, and guidelines to help strengthen the relationship between humans and their Lord. These aphorisms\, which have never failed to inspire\, are presented in this edition according to the systematic arrangement of the great Indian scholar Shaykh ‘Ali Muttaqi (d. 975/1567)\, together with the indispensable commentary of the twentieth-century sage Shaykh ‘Abdullah Gangohi.\n\nAbout Ata’Allah Iskandari\n\nTaj ad-Din Abu’l-Fadl Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Abd al-Karim b. Ata’ Allah al-Iskandari\, al-Judhami ash-Shadhili\, known simply as Ibn ‘Ata’ Allah\, was born in Alexandria\, Egypt\, as his nisbah indicates\, about the middle of the seventh/thirteenth century. His family were renowned Maliki scholars from the Banu Judham tribe\, originally from Arabia. His grandfather\, Abd al-Karim (d. 612 AH/1216 AD) had distinguished himself as an expert in fiqh\, usul (principles of jurisprudence)\, and Arabic\, having studied under the famous Abu’l-Hasan al-Abyari. He had written several books\, among which were al-Bayin wa’t-Taqrib fi Sharh at-Tahdhib\, Mukhtasar at-Tahdhib\, and Mukhtasar al-Mufassal\, and had been very hostile to Sufism.\n\n 	Past Shaykh Samer video recordings: https://mcceastbay.org/samer\n\nNothing is difficult\, if you seek it through your Lord; nothing is easy\, if you seek it. – Ibn Ata Allah
