In his work “Manāzil al-ʿIbād min al-ʿIbāda”, al-Hakim at-Tirmidhi provides a comprehensive exposition of the stages of the spiritual path (ṭarīqah) in Sufism. The work consists of two chapters and describes the spiritual stations that a person must traverse on the path of servitude (sayr wa sulūk). According to Sufi teachings, these stations are referred to as ḥāl (spiritual states) and maqām (spiritual ranks). The main content of the work is structured around seven stations, through which the process of achieving moral and spiritual refinement is classified. Additionally, al-Hakim at-Tirmidhi offers a pedagogical analysis of the acquisition of knowledge and wisdom in his works. He asserts that every human being is naturally endowed with innate intellect and that one must properly utilize this intellect and perception. Only knowledge, understanding, and learning can guide a person toward virtue and righteousness.
