Summary of the work

“I came to realize that excessive hope, lack of fear of Allah and delusion are diseases that have contaminated people's hearts. The treatment of these diseases therefore only involves the medicine of intimidation and dissuasion.

It is for this reason that I have collected, in this work, terrifying stories, warnings against sins, narrations describing punishments and stories that put the heart into an uncomfortable state. All this with the aim of making the confident anxious, softening hard hearts, bringing tears to dry eyes, and motivating the lazy.

And it is with Allah that absolute success rests. »
