Ad-Daʿwâ wa ad-Dawâʾ (Sins and Their Cure by Ibn Al-Qayyim) – الداء والدواء للإمام ابن قيم

Ad-Daʿwâ wa ad-Dawâʾ is the original Arabic book of the famous French work Péchés et Guérison. This book, widely known in the Francophone world, is here presented in its authentic language, making it a true treasure for anyone wishing to study the words of Ibn al-Qayyim directly from the source.

This edition is particularly valuable as it includes the majority of the vowels, greatly facilitating reading and comprehension. The work is large, rich, and profound: a genuine spiritual guide addressing the purification of the soul, sincere advice, gentle admonition, and the dangers of desires and Shaytân’s traps.

Owning this fully vowelized Arabic book is a rare opportunity to immerse oneself completely in the teachings of Ibn al-Qayyim.

The book was written in response to a question posed to the Imam by a man in distress who asked:

"What do the scholars say about a man who is undergoing a persistent trial, knowing that if it continues, it will corrupt both his worldly life and his Hereafter? He has made every effort to overcome it, but to no avail. What should he do to make it stop? May Allah have mercy on the one who helps a brother in difficulty, for Allah assists the servant as long as he helps his brother. We ask for your guidance, and may Allah reward you."

Imam Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, responded to this request by writing this book, providing a complete guide to purifying the soul and overcoming tribulations.
