Al-Naṣīḥa al-Kāfiya is a powerful and concise spiritual treatise written by Sidi Ahmad Zarrūq (d. 899 AH / 1493 CE), a renowned Moroccan scholar, Sufi master, and jurist of the Maliki school.
This work, whose full title is “al-Naṣīḥa al-Kāfiya liman Khaṣṣahu Allāh bi-l-‘Ināya” (“The Sufficient Counsel for the One Whom Allah Has Favored with Divine Care”), offers essential advice on:

– Avoiding hypocrisy and self-deception
– The dangers of the ego (nafs)
– The proper path to spiritual discipline (tarbiya)

It remains widely studied in traditional circles, especially in North and West Africa, and is valued for its clarity, wisdom, and practical relevance for spiritual development.
