While several books share similar names, the most sought-after Tuhfatul Ikhwan is attributed to the profound teachings of (may Allah be pleased with him), the celebrated Hanbali jurist and founder of the Qadiri order.

Regardless of authorship, the text is universally accepted as a manual for purifying the soul ( Tazkiyah ).
