"Hisn Al-Mumin: The Fortification of the Believer"

​The book by Sheikh Abd Ar-Rahman bin Abd Al-Kareem Ash-Sheha is an integrated faith guide and a comprehensive reference that seeks to equip Muslims with the necessary Sharia-based tools and spiritual fortifications to protect themselves, their faith, and their bodies against life's obstacles and trials. The book begins by establishing a profound doctrinal understanding of the nature of calamities and trials from an Islamic perspective, highlighting the underlying reasons behind their occurrence, ways to prevent them, and methods of preserving Allah's blessings and preventing their loss through gratitude and supplication. It then transitions in a gradual and seamless manner towards practical aspects and both verbal and spiritual acts of worship, explaining the virtues and importance of Dhikr (remembrance), the means by which a servant attains the pleasure of their Creator and detailing the etiquettes and conditions of Du'aa (supplication) to ensure its acceptance. Furthermore, it presents a blessed collection of narrated supplications from the Holy Qur'an and the purified Sunnah of the Prophet, with a special emphasis on morning and evening remembrances, daily protections and the Istikhara (guidance) prayer. This comprehensive approach culminates in linking spiritual well-being with physical health by exploring avenues of healing through Prophetic medicine for both physical and psychological ailments and providing a detailed guide on the correct method of Sharia-compliant Ruqyah (spiritual healing) free from innovations and myths. This makes the book an all-encompassing shield that ensures both spiritual peace and physical safety for the believer in every aspect of their daily life.
