Description :


Minhaj al-'Abidin ila Jannati Rabbi ’l-'Alamin  'The Path of the Worshipful Servants to the Garden of the Lord of All the Worlds' is by ''Hujjat al-Islam'' - (The Truth of Islam) al-Imam Abu Hamid Muhammad al-Ghazali, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.


The authour tells us how he implored Allah “to make it possible for me to compose a book—one that would meet with unanimous approval, and the reading of which would result in positive benefit—and He inspired me with a marvelous arrangement, the like of which I did not recall in any of the previous compositions dealing with the secrets of religious practices.”

 
He also said, “Worshipful service is the fruit of knowledge, the benefit of life, the income of strong servants, the stock-in-trade of the saints [awliya'], the path of the truly devout, the allotted portion of the mighty, the goal of those endowed with aspiration, the emblem of the noble, the vocation of real men, and the choice of those with faculties of vision. It is the way of good fortune and the path [minhaj] of the Garden of Paradise.”


Minhaj ul Abideen is considered a summary of Imam al-Ghazali's majestic Ihya Ulum al-Din [The Revival of the Religious Sciences] presented here in simple Arabic.
