Rising Soul was translated and adapted from the book "Al-Mukhta-sar Al-Mufid Fi Tarbiyat An-Nafs" by Dr. Muhammad Mansur. In his book, Dr. Mansur describes a practical step-by-step process for self-purification. This process, Tarbiyah, is a cornerstone of the methodology of the Muslim American Society (MAS). The beauty of this volume lies in its simple presentation of Tarbiyah as a clear process with precise, achievable goals. Young believers and Islamic workers seeking to improve themselves will find this book an invaluable companion.
