Islamic Spirituality Studies
ʿIlm al Sulūk
Manāzil al Sāʾirīn
(Stations of the Travellers)
Written by Sheikh al Islām Abū Ismāʿīl al Harawi al Ḥanbali (d.481h), Manāzil al Sāʾirīn is a classical text covering 100 spiritual stations. It is written in a very terse manner making it ideal as a textbook for studying spiritual wayfaring. The text was famously explained by Ibn al Qayyim (rḥ) in his magnum opus, Madārij al Sālikīn.
Term 3 (6 weeks) will resume from the station of patience.
