A brief summary of the illness and the cure

In this book: the scholar Ibn al-Qayyim clarifies all of the traps of Satan and his snares that he sets for the son of Adam, and guides us to ways of prevention from falling into them, and shows those whose feet have slipped the paths of exit and causes of treatment, and it is a valuable blessed book, with no equal or peer in its field, and as Sheikh Bakr Abu Zayd said: "And in this book are the subtleties of knowledge and its truths, and the clarification of self-accountability and monitoring; which no student of knowledge can do without."
