The present volume contains a translation of Imam Ghazali's autobiography, The Deliverance from Error, one of the most remarkable personal documents to have come down to us from classical Islamic civilization. The volume also contains partial translations from other key works of Ghazali, including Definitive Criterion (Faysal al-Tafriqa), a tract against the Ismaili sect, explanation of God's names, and writings on conforming the character to the Divine.
Two greart works in one volume. Deliverance from Error is the spiritual autobiography of Imam Ghazali. The Beginning of Guidance, his other work included in this volume, complements his spiritual autobiography and sets out his ideal of how the religious man should order his life from hour to hour and day to day. Translated by W. Montgomery Watt.
translated by Margaret Smith This short treatise gives a summary of Imam al-Ghazali's religious philosophy. In it, he discusses knowledge and its various types, the human soul and its relation to the human body. Drawing evidences from the Qur'an, he shows that the humans spirit is one with the Divine and is able to contemplate the Invisible, receive the Divine Radiance and attain perfection and supernatural qualities even in this world. Translated by Margaret Smith.
"Hajj is one of the pillars and foundations of Islam, the act of worship of a lifetime, the seal of all that is commanded, the perfection of Islam and the completion of religion. Such a worship deserves that much attention to be devoted to explaining itand to detailing its essential elements, its properties, its merits, and its mysteries. This little book is translated from Kitab Asrar al-Hajj, the seventh chapter of the celebrated 12th-century work, Ihya Ulum al-Din. Al-Ghazali invites readers to dwell on the subject of the hajj beyond its mechanics and rituals, and to pay attention to its true substance, purpose and philosophy." Translated by Ibrahim Umar.
"The term 'heart' has a primal position in the vocabulary of Muslim religious teachers and in that of the philosophers. The term is used in Islam for the seat of intellectual and emotional life. In this treatise, al-Ghazali unravels its wonders and secrets, achieving his desired end - to lead man to the good life. This is the twenty-first book of the third quarter of al-Ghazali's Ihya Ulum al-Din."Translated by Walter James Skellie.
