Al-ghazzali on Knowing Yourself and God

I most read for anyone trying to find inner peace and wisdom Al-Ghazzali is one of mine favourite teachers a long With Socrates,Confucius

Nice book

There is a good reason Al-Ghazali is acknowledged as the first Muslim scholar who laid the foundation of rational thinking in the interpretation of Islamic beliefs and rituals. He is also regarded as one of the founders of Sufism. In this short translation, the topic of introspection to understand universal truths and the very meaning of human existence is masterfully covered. He uses analogies and allegories to explain complex thought processes that many of us use to intuitively understand what we can observe and feel but find it hard to articulate to others. It is amazing that a person who lived a thousand years ago can resonate with believers living today! However, his arguments are wasted if the reader is a die-hard atheist or a non-believer. Such a person would find many holes to poke in Al-Ghazali’s reasoning.

This book and many others of this kind, the one that strikes the heart , the one that changes us from within, one that blessed you with a teacher you always aspire for , The authors of these books. Dear ummah , please read ! Reflect , build understanding and fight the arrogant ignorance within and outside. This book is my first book if ghazali , and it has touched me so so deeply. Countless doors have opened inside me and will continue reading him and many other visionaries, mystics, philosophers ..it's our responsibility to educate ourselves, we have lost the reading culture , we have turned into uninformed consumers making irrational choices, Let's spend our time , energy and money in something that will Benefit our mind and heart, in this work and in the hereafter

Each time i come to this book, it's like I have never read it before.

great book! for anyone how is seeking the Truth, this book is highly recommended.

This book will change your life. If not, it will propel you to think and contemplate about life, your purpose and existence. It is not an easy book to understand and therefore it is not for everyone. Having said that, if this is within your interest then read it twice or thrice. Al-Ghazzali's words and thoughts transcend the literal. Highly recommend this book from his series. It's a gem.
