About The Book

A collection of discourses by Shaykh Zulfiqar Ahmad Naqshbandi. This volume contains discourses on the following topics:

• Marriage in Islam
• Blessings of Righteousness
• Guarding The Tongue
• Rectifying The Heart
• The Purpose of Life
• Company of The Friends of Allah

This book is a humble attempt at rendering an English translation of one of the Shaykh's priceless works, Khutbaate Faqeer volume 1, an amazing collection of discourses. While the content herein is extraordinary, even more amazing is the effect that it has produced on those who have listened to or read it. Unfortunately, it is virtually impossible to convey such realities on paper.
