About the Text : The Book of Counsels, exhortations from Divine Narrations (Al-Mawa'iz fi al-Hadith al-Qudsiyyah) from the text as published Majmu'at Rasa'il al-Imam al-Ghazali, (Makatba at-Tawfiqiyyah, Cairo).

Imam Abu Hamid al-Ghazali (d. 505/1111).

Imam al-Ghazali, may Allah be pleased with him, has been described by some scholars as the greatest Muslim in Islamic history. His prolific works, written over the duration of his relatively short lifetime, have deeply influenced Islamic thought for nearly a thousand years. Al-Ghazali was a polymath who had mastered every discipline known to the scholars of his time. In many ways, his corpus of writings on law, theology, philosophy, and Islamic spirituality, represent the most influential understanding of the Islamic religion ever articulated.
