Describes in vivid prose how the Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, used to remember Allah and pray to Him. The intimate relationship with Allah, which was the hallmark of the Prophet's life, becomes clear and vivid. The book's contents are immensely relevant to the life and concerns of modern man, whose life has been made barren by the present secularist machinery. Translated by Yusuf Talal Delorenzo from Arabic work by Shaykh Muhammad Ghazali (d. 1416 AH).
