The Fundaments of Self-Purification - al-Nawawī's al-Maqāṣid 01

This lesson introduces tasawwuf as both a science and a process. We begin our exploration of the first of al-Nawawi's five building blocks of self-purification: al-Taqwa. We examine the basic level of taqwa common to all Muslims and how to build upon it, as well as explore the two main categories into which the methods of attaining taqwa fall.
