Theme: Education and Purification

Description: The author, Osman Nuri Topbas, lives in Istanbul. He received both a traditional and modern education. He has written many books dealing with various aspects of Islam as a religion and civilization. The subject that comes up most often in his writings gives more space to the importance of mercy, love, but also the need to constantly improve our social relations, thus expressing the true meaning of an authentic spiritual life. This work was written in an atmosphere of love for the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) and reflects this mercy by expressing the most distinguished features of his life from the point of view of his morality. It is intended to guide towards civility and refinement of the heart and also concerns all those who desire to obtain happiness in this world and in the Life to come. The purpose of this book is to illuminate the spiritual radiance of true worship in Islam and to clothe it with stories drawn from the exemplary lives of certain Sufis. In particular, there are many references to the poems of Rumi, Yunus Emre and a few other Sufis; these indications being intended to link the passion of our practice with its ritual form. The chapters relating to benevolence and the needy have been more emphasized. The profound analysis they address in essential Islamic economic philosophy amply demonstrates their intrinsic value within our material world.
