Shaykh Abul Hassan, in his commentary of the Rissalah of Ibn Abi Zaid, in red, in the chapter of Jihad, wrote:

hey salaam alaykum. the title of the book is: "the power of positive confrontation- the skills you need to know to handle conflits at home, at work and in life" by Barbara Pachter. It's quite good and it's very sunnah oriented w/ advice like speak good and be quiet, take into consideration othes people's feelings, think good of people, etc. Hope that's helpful.
Hope you're well in sha Allah.
Do you happen to have any information on maqamat of awliya in North africa and when there respective urs might be? I mean I am coming a across information on awliya buried in Marrakesh etc, however, am finding it difficult finding dates for their urs celebrations.
Reason for asking being that a non Muslim friend is hoping to visit this region, with the intention of visiting the maqamat.
Salaam.
