Discription of This Book

إرIrshād al-qulūb ilā l-ṣawāb al-munjī man ʿamila bih min alim al-ʿiqāb (Arabic: إرشادُ القُلُوب إلی الصَواب المُنجي من عَمِل بِهِ مِن ألیم العِقاب) is a book written in Arabic by Hasan b. Abi l-Hasan al-Daylami, a scholar of 8th/14th century. The book contains consults from the Qur'an and tradition and virtues of Imam Ali (a) and the Ahl al-Bayt (a). The author wrote this book for salvation of people from divine punishment and also to dominate on their faculties of anger and desire. In the first part of the book in 54 chapters, he has discussed about moral consults and advice and in the second part, he has mentioned virtues and merits of the Ahl al-Bayt (a). Irshad al-qulub has always been referred to, by religious scholars, as a moral reference and has been translated several times.
