By Shaykh al-Hadith Maulana Muhammad Zakariyya Kandhelwi
On the path of Tasawwuf, the Salik strives to replace his lowly bestial attributes with lofty qualities. Unmindfulness of the laws of Allah are replaced with constant attention towards Allah. Shaykh al-Hadith Maulana Muhammad Zakariyya always reminded his friends; ''consistency is a stepping stone to success.''
The advises reproduced in this book will be of great assistance to those salikeen who are consistent with their prescribed devotions. As for the negligent, ''99 Advises to Salikeen'' will be a reminder of the benefits that they are being deprived of. The advises tabulated in this book were extracted from books written by Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi and other saintly elders of the past.
