Al-Ghazzali On Knowing Yourself and God

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.

Amazing book, from start to finish! Extremely thought provoking

Just started reading this book and it is amazing how everything is simply explained. Highly recomended

Very interesting

A very spiritual read about the Sufi approach to God. It was nice.

This books provides the means for deep reflection and a way to be able to understand your heart and how to protect it. Very good book.

This is a small in content but very rich in merit book. The world famous of all time in Islamic philosophy, in my opinion, very skilfully connected the knowledge of self to the knowledge of God, such a good food for the brain. This opens up new a horizon of thinking.

Would recommend all the younger generations to buy it, this book has a lot of meaning of life. Written by a fantastic imam as well.
