520 _aVolume 2 of Tarbiyat-us-Salik by Ashraf ʿAli Thanwi focuses on practical spiritual reform through selected correspondence with his disciples. This volume emphasizes the identification and treatment of blameworthy moral traits such as pride, envy, and attachment to worldly life, offering detailed spiritual exercises for their removal. It provides guidance on performing acts of worship with sincerity, including prayer, fasting, and Quran recitation. Thanwi also addresses emotional and spiritual states—like despair, anxiety, and heedlessness—encouraging inner balance through contentment, humility, and gratitude. A significant portion is dedicated to methods of dhikr (remembrance of Allah) and handling distractions during worship. The approach is personal and instructional rather than theoretical, aiming to transform inner character rather than focus on outward forms of Sufism. Each letter in this compilation offers actionable advice tailored to real-life spiritual struggles. The volume serves as a manual for anyone serious about self-purification (tazkiyah) and achieving closeness to Allah through disciplined spiritual practice.
