Additions

  • Included prohibition of joking about religion.
  • Added mention of death in conversation as a way to remind of mortality.
  • Included examples in the "avoiding false impressions" section under "sincerity and truthfulness."
  • Added the last part of the night as a time for repentance.
  • Added the impact of saying salawat on the Day of Resurrection.
  • Recognized that there can be situations of differing opinions on important topics where no one is directly involved, and added an action to address that.
  • Included the prohibition of fantasizing to prevent lusts.

Changes

  • Better explained the reason behind "false hope of pardon" in the "Overcoming the Habit of Sin" section.
  • Clarified how to expiate sins in the "regret and prevent after committing a sin" process.
  • Slightly clarified the initiative of "anger."
  • Clarified the benefits of repentance.
  • Emphasized the traveler's philosophy in the asceticism initiative.
  • Highlighted the connection between commanding good verbally and through actions.
  • Restructured the section on gratitude to differentiate between feeling grateful and actually being grateful.
  • Renamed the process "pride and lesser blessings" to "don't be deluded by fame, wealth, lineage, or beauty" to remove ambiguity.
  • Linked the "regret" part of repentance to the fear before the sin to clarify when each state should be practiced.

Deletions

  • Removed the process "pride and better blessings" and combined it with "don't consider yourself pious or more pious than anyone" because they essentially describe the same action.
  • Removed the process “lower your gaze” and merged it with “guarding your eyes and ears.”
