Imam Ghazali argues that just as there is an end to this noble objective there is also a beginning to it, which must be made firm for one to achieve success. He then goes on to expound the fundamentals of this "beginning." While being concise and to-the-point the manual is laid out in the form of a detailed daily timetable providing the reader strong inspiration and much heart-rending counsel. The three sections of this book are on obedience, refraining from disobedience, and the etiquette of companionship with the Creator and with creation. One of Im?m Ghaz?l?'s final works, it embodies a lifetime of learning, experience, and spirituality and can be taken as an introduction to his larger works. This translation published for the first time with facing Arabic text also includes many notes and transliteration for the supplications contained within. "An excellent translation of an important book on the fundamentals of Muslim piety and etiquette. With an accessible English translation alongside the original Arabic text, this introductory work will be useful for readers interested in exploring the realities of Islamic piety, students of Arabic and educators alike."

Review: Ghazali=Ikhlas(sincerity) - It is as if you are in the presence of Imam Ghazali as if you are listening to him in person.Not a single word in this book appears cosmetic rather straight out of his heart.It provides a life changing perspective especially for a student of knowledge to change his course and build his foundation on nothing except sincerity.This book and his another book Ayyuhal Walad(O Son) should be taught and gifted to all our kids as they tread on the path of knowledge. Review: Good read - Something cannot be rushed just like this book. Take your time to read and reflect. ## Features - Al-Ghazali, Islam, Spritual Guidance, Muslim ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #138,556 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 298 Reviews | ## Images ![The Beginning of Guidance: The Imam and proof of Islam - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41K-NC34d6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ghazali=Ikhlas(sincerity) *by S***N on 21 May 2023* It is as if you are in the presence of Imam Ghazali as if you are listening to him in person.Not a single word in this book appears cosmetic rather straight out of his heart.It provides a life changing perspective especially for a student of knowledge to change his course and build his foundation on nothing except sincerity.This book and his another book Ayyuhal Walad(O Son) should be taught and gifted to all our kids as they tread on the path of knowledge. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good read *by D***F on 11 September 2024* Something cannot be rushed just like this book.
