Assalamu'alaikum wbt,
I just read this book recently by Said Hawwa. Here's a picture and link for the Indonesian version. I'm sure there's an English version somewhere, so for English-speaking people, try to find it out.
I find the book really really good for the purification of the heart. If you want something real and your are really serious about cleaning up your heart, then this is the book for. It provides the necessary ways and step to a serious commitment of purifying your self. There's a philosophical side of it, that tells of the concept and how you should understand purification of the heart, and provides the necessary ways and method that you can immediately implement in your daily activities.
At the moment, I've gotten through the chapter on Solat , and after finishing that chapter, I understand Solat a bit more deeply. More than just movements and recitations. It's a whole experience. Its a strive. Its a conversation. Its a humbling of a servant to his Lord. There's participation of each and every part of a Muslim's body in the performance of a Solat . And more than anything, its a key to peace. To the maintenance of a Muslim in a state of surrender, where he feels nothing more than to give himself up to Allah.
I totally recommend this book to anyone who's serious in being a Muslim.
w'salam wbt
