About This Book
Supporting the Distressed Against the Tricks of Satan is an English edition of Ighathat al-Lahfan by Imam Ibn al-Qayyim. The Imam explains that Satan, knowing the heart governs everything else, works to fill it with whispers and desires in order to turn it from the right path.
Ibn al-Qayyim wrote the book to record what he had learned about the diseases of the heart, their cures, and the whisperings of Satan that corrupt a person's deeds. He shows that escaping these traps comes through seeking Allah's help, holding to what pleases Him, and humble servitude to Him.
