The Elixir: A Summary of the Acts of the Heart, Drawn from the Book Madarij As-Salikin by Ibn Al-Qayyim
Indeed, he who journeys towards Allah the Most High needs, in his journey, that which reforms his heart and purifies it, that which awakens him from his heedlessness and elevates him, and the traveler is constantly occupied by this, until the time for action ends and his hour arrives, and he will find at that moment the results of his efforts [meaning of the verses]: "the day when neither wealth nor children will be of any use, except for he who comes to Allah with a pure heart" [Ash-Shu'ara: 88-89], He who has purified his heart from its impurities here below, Allah will save him there above, and he who neglects it here below, Allah will punish him there above.
Indeed, it is one of the greatest means aiding to the health of the heart and its purification that the heart travels in the works dedicated to softening and reforming souls, which were written by the pens of the predecessors of the community, with the ink of the Book and the Sunnah. One of these exemplary works, and the best among them, the most beneficial and the most perfect, is the work "Madārij as-sālikīn" ("The Ranks of the Travelers") by Imam Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah [May Allah have mercy on him].
Allah has shown Kindness to its author about it and he has thus excelled. He granted him success in this and he has thus benefited others, to the point that it has become the pinnacle of the author's works and stands out among them, leads them, is at their head, is their model and their guide.
Today, we present to readers the book "The Elixir", which is a rearrangement of the book "The Approach", representing a third of its size. We have extracted it so that it may be an antidote for faith, preserving the objectives of the book "Madārij as-sālikīn", hoping that it is in accordance with the meaning of the word of Ibn Al-Qayyim: "This elixir which, when one deposits the equivalent of the weight of a small ant on quintals of lead of acts, changes them into gold.
