The Risala al-Mustarshidin of Imam al-Muhasibi. Known as "Treatise for the Seekers". A book on Islamic Spirituality. The works of al-Muhasibi are good examples of distinguishing between the ascetic ways of the Muslim sufi and the Christian monks. Where the latter propagates the life of seclusion and a less active role in the mundane affairs of a community, the teachings of al-Muhasibi are judged to develop the sufi to remain an active member of his community despite his spiritual commitments. The works of al-Muhasibi are also reported to have a greater emphasis on the practical side of the spiritual-life adherent.
