A Guide to the Causes and Treatment of Deviation, Abdulwahab Al-Hadhai

This book is a study that explores the causes of deviation and relapse, whether it be total or partial deviation. Muslims need to understand these causes in order to avoid falling into them.

The author compiled relevant texts from the Quran and Sunnah, as well as the teachings of the Salaf and divided his book into two sections. In the first part, he explains the meaning of deviation within the Ummah, its various types, and lists up to 71 of its causes. For each cause, he presents verses and hadiths that link it to deviation, and follows it by the explanations and commentary of scholars from the Salaf. The second part of the book outlines 36 treatments for deviation and explains the consequences of those who deviate, including both worldly and otherworldly punishments.
