How Grow Close to Allah by Abd Al-Rahman Sha’ar

The book focuses on achieving divine nearness, understood as a spiritual state reached through worship and a righteous life, rather than physical closeness to Allah. It provides practical guidance on how central acts of worship (Ibadah) like Prayer (Salah), Almsgiving (Zakah), Fasting (Sawm), and Pilgrimage (Hajj) contribute to spiritual growth and drawing nearer to Allah. The author, Abu Munir Abd Al-Rahman Sha’ar, was a companion of Sheikh ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Shaghouri. The book aims to help readers establish consistent faith practices and deepen their understanding of Islamic traditions to ultimately foster a closer relationship with Allah. Some versions of the book include both the original Arabic and an English translation.
