oubts and desires have become rampant and filled much of our hearts with diseases. Furthermore, the advising physicians have become so few, and those who use the effective remedy have become so rare. We have become direly in need of cleansing our hearts, purifying them of these diseases, and protecting them from what surrounds them. And we cannot think of anyone like Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiya (may Allah bestow mercy upon him) to clarify for us the reality of our ailments and the proper usage of the remedy, so that we may be cured by the Book of Allah (the Glorified and Exalted). -Commentator
