Ibn Al-Jawzi is adept at diagnosing the various spiritual illnesses resulting from sins, and treating the malice in the heart. If he finds a person failing into despair, he tries to ignite the spark of hope in the heart. if, on the other hand, he see that one in a reckless and fearless state, he works to in still the fear of Allah in his heart. Thus, the scholar treats sickness by using its opposite as a cure. Ibn al-Jawzi, has collected herein ominous narration, warnings against wrongdoing, and stories of forbidding and punishment that shake the hearts from their slumber. The self-assured one becomes anxious; the heart-hearted becomes soft; the dried tear ducts start to flow; slothful becomes motivated.
From its harms is the Shayateen gaining mastery over the addict and the angels of mercy being far away from him, until he is driven to the Hellfire, and the refuge is with Allaah. Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic said:
“And whosoever turns away (blinds himself) from the remembrance of the Most Beneficent (Allaah) (i.e. this Qur’aan and worship of Allaah), We appoint for him Shaytaan (Satan _ devil) to be a Qarîn (an intimate companion) to him. And verily, they (devils) hinder them from the Path (of Allaah), but they think that they are guided aright! Till, when (such a one) comes to Us, he says [to his Qarîn (Satan / devil companion)] “Would that between me and you were the distance of the two easts (or the east and west)” a worst (type of) companion (indeed)! It will profit you not this Day (O you who turn away from Allaah’s remembrance and His worship, etc.) as you did wrong, (and) that you will be sharers (you and your Qarîn) in the punishment.”
From the book’s back cover :Yo adorn oneself with beautiful etiquette, noble manners, good behaviour, and pious conduct are distinguishing characteristics of the people of Islaam, and knowledge the most precious pearl in the crown of the purified sharee ah~cannot be attained except by those who adorn themselves with its etiquette and those who leave evil qualities associated to it.
Verily the book ‘The important lessons for the every Muslim is a valuable book concerning a topic of extreme importance by an eminent Imam, and Shaykh, advisor, concerned cultivator, who is none other than the Imam, the scholar, Abdul Aziz ibn Abdullah ibn Baz; may Allah have mercy upon him.

So this is a concise explanation upon the book of Shaykhul-Islam Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab entitled, Removing the Doubts of the People of Shirk. In this book, the author mentions ten odd doubts from the people of Shirk and answers them with excellent answers, relying upon textual proof along with an easily comprehensible meaning and clear expression. I ask Allah (subhaanahu wa ta’aalaa) to reward him for that and to benefit the servants through it. Indeed, Allah is capable of all things.
Arrogance is of two types: Arrogance toward the truth and arrogance toward people. The Prophet (sallahu alayhi wassallam) clarified both in his statement, “Arrogance is to regret the truth and belittle the people”
The meaning behind the statement, “Reject the Truth” is to discard it, be averse to it, and to deny it, and the meaning behind the statement “Belittle the People” is to disparage and disdain them, and deem people to be of no worth, seeing oneself above them.
It was said to one man, ‘What do you think of the people?” He said, “I don’t view them in any way except as flies.” So it is said to him, “Indeed they don’t think of you in any was except the same.”
