The book begins with an illustrated story recounting the Life of Imam Al-Ghazali, may Allah be pleased with him. Included with the curricula are comics for children who can read. It is 194 pages in length with colored illustrations.
This is a part of the 'Al-Ghazali Children’s Project' educational series, which contains books, workbooks, and a curriculum designed for teaching al-Ghazali’s philosophy to children.
"Learn about your three selves, and how can you always be your Real True Self, not the low false one, but the Real You.
When you brag, argue, lie, or speak badly about someone behind their back, what you are doing is making your low, false self really strong. When you envy or want what someone else has, you are forgetting that God gave you exactly what you need in your life – your own special trials and blessings – which help you polish your own Heart. Someone else’s life wouldn’t work for you!"
About the Al-Ghazali Children's Project :
Many scholars consider Imam al-Ghazali’s Revival of the Islamic Sciences (Ihya Ulum Al-Din), to be the most important literary contribution to the Muslim tradition after the Qur’an and the compilation of Hadith.
By presenting Al-Ghazali’s insights, The Ghazali Children’s Project
seeks to instill prophetic character and values in children through
storytelling, guided reflection, workbooks, and through many other
activities included on this website. We are finding children truly love
Imam al-Ghazali’s idea of ” polishing one’s heart.”
A
team of 'Al-Ghazali' experts have been carefully translating his work
into readable English for both parents and teachers. These volumes will
accompany the beautifully illustrated children’s books and workbooks.
Also included are parent-teacher curriculum manuals of enjoyable games
and activities, which reinforce Al-Ghazali’s teachings.
