Description :


Imam Abu Hamid al-Ghazali’s Bidayat al-Hidaya بداية الهداية is a highly motivational manual detailing the fundamentals of acquiring guidance through God-consciousness (taqwa).


Imam al-Ghazali, may Allah be pleased with him, 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.


*** Section 1. On Obedience,
*** Section 2. On Refraining from Disobedience,
*** Section 3. The Etiquette of Companionship with the Creator & with Creation.


One of Imam Ghazali’s final works, it embodies a lifetime of learning, experience, and spirituality and can be taken as an introduction to his larger works.
