The Gardens of the Righteous

Ibn al-Qayyim's 'The Gardens of the Righteous' (often known by its Arabic title 'Riyadh al-Salihin' is more commonly associated with Imam al-Nawawi; however, Ibn al-Qayyim wrote similar spiritual works) presents moral guidance, hadith-based advice, and reflections aimed at cultivating piety and rectitude.

The text addresses the transient nature of worldly life, proper intentions, inner diseases like riyā' (showing off), and practical steps toward repentance and spiritual discipline.

It draws heavily on Qur'anic verses and Prophetic traditions to remind readers of the afterlife and the importance of sincere worship.

The book has been used across generations as a source for sermons and personal spiritual reform in the Sunni tradition.

Note: the speaker referenced Ibn al-Qayyim's work titled in English as 'The Gardens of the Righteous' when teaching on dunya, intention, and inner purification.
