Al Ghazali: The Beginning of Guidance
by Mufti Abdur-Rahman ibn Yusuf of ZamZam Academy:
http://www.zamzamacademy.com Imam Ghazali's
The Beginning of Guidance (Bidayat al-Hidaya) is a highly motivational manual
detailing the fundamentals of acquiring guidance through Allah-consciousness
(taqwa). 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
Imām Ghazālī's final works, it embodies a lifetime of learning, experience, and
spirituality and can be taken as an introduction to his larger works.
This is a series of online lectures of several parts which I hope to post in the
coming weeks inshaAllah. But for those of you who are interested to listen
to it sooner click here for the playlist.
In the Name of Allah,
the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
