Self Building - Ayatullah Ibrahim Amini
The underlying subject of this book is the philosophy of self-building which the author deals with in a straightforward and organized manner. He begins with outlining and emphasizing the need for self-knowledge and strengthens his view with well-chosen hadiths and highly relevant passages from the Qur’an. He lays out clearly the aspects of the journey towards our Creator, dealing with issues such as the tendencies of the soul and how to deal with our different inclinations.
I would recommend this book as a good starting point for those wishing to understand the subject of self-discipline, especially in that it covers many aspects while keeping the points relevant and easy to understand in a clear and meaningful format.
