Foreword

FOREWORD O ne of the objectives of our institution has been to publish articles that guide people in the constructive development of their lives. Since its launch in 1976, the monthly Al-Risalah has consistently published articles that serve this purpose. In this context, the first full-length book was published in 1987 under the title Raz-e-Hayat (English: The Secret of Success). The second book on this topic, Kitab-e-Zindagi (The Book of Life), was released in 1996. Additionally, the institution published several smaller works on the same theme during this period—for example, Rahein Band Nahin (Paths Are Not Closed, 50 pages) and Rahnuma-e-Hayat (Guide to Life, 50 pages), among others. The present collection, Tameer-e-Hayat, is another book on this subject. Spanning 313 pages and divided into five chapters, it is our hope that—God willing—this book will serve as a source of guidance and support for everyone seeking to build a meaningful life. Publishers
