Advice and admonitions is a translation of various statements of wisdom by Imam Shafi?i from sources such as ?ilyatul Awliya by Imam Abu Nu'aym al-Isfahani, Siyar A'lam an-Nubala by Imam Dhahabi and Sifatu Safwah by Imam Ibn al-Jawzi. Some beneficial footnotes have also been included to further aid the reader in understanding Imam Shafi?i intended meaning at various points.

Imam Shafi?i was famously known as an Imam of Fiqh. Despite the majority of his time being spent on issuing rulings he also provided eloquent preaching and guidance that contained many wisdoms.

Taking lessons from the words of pious scholars who acted upon their knowledge is one of the best methods for a Muslim who is striving for self-improvement. Our Du?a is that Allah, the one who turns hearts, changes our hearts towards being conscious of Him in all aspects of daily life after reading this book.

I ask Allah to make this simple endeavour a source of pleasure for us all and a source of success in the Hereafter. Amin
