What is your eminence's opinion on the book "Madarij al-Salikin," as I have heard warnings against it? And is it possible to obtain a concise study of the book "Zad al-Ma'ad fi Hady Khair al-'Ibad" that focuses on guidance and sunnahs without delving into fiqh and the other Islamic sciences?

The book "Madarij al-Salikin" has many benefits, but it is not without observations due to its author Al-Harawi's Sufi orientation. For this reason, some have abridged it, such as the abridgment by Abd al-Mun'im Salih al-Izzi. As for the book "Zad al-Ma'ad," it was abridged by Sheikh Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab al-Tamimi.
