This great book consists of selections from Imam al-Ghazali's, may Allah be pleased with him, masterpiece Ihya Ulum al-Din, The Revival of the Relgious Sciences, translated into English. Imam al-Ghazali, alayhir rahman, leads us in his characteristically powerful & inspiring way, into those dimensions of Islamic worship rites -

     ***Prayer,
     ***Alms-giving,
     ***Fasting,
     ***Pilgrimage, etc


These rites are essential to the fulfilment of their inner quality and reaping the rich harvests of spiritual, moral and social upliftment that must be their reward. 

This book will be of enormous help to the countless young men and women of our times who are rapidly growing in their commitment to Islam and ever trying to bring up their lives under the sovereignty of One God - a task which is impossible unless one can develop the immense inner resources which Islamic worship offers.
