The Disease and The Cure

The Disease and the Cure is a profound and timeless work by Imam Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah, one of the greatest scholars of Islam. This book explores the spiritual and moral diseases of the heart—such as sin, desire, heedlessness, and doubt—and offers their cures through sincere repentance, knowledge, remembrance of Allah, and reliance on the Qur’an and Sunnah.
Written as a response to a question about persistent sin, Ibn al-Qayyim uses deep insights, Qur’anic verses, and Hadith to explain the root causes of spiritual illness and how to heal the soul. This book is a must-read for every Muslim seeking self-purification and closeness to Allah.
