Where Have I Been?!?
Assalamualaykum
Someone recently mentioned to me the works of Imam Ghazzali and how they were going to try and translate them. So I thought let me dig out my books by Imam Ghazzali.
I’d purchased these books in my madrassah years after our bukhari ustad always used to quote from Imam Ghazzali’s Ihya, and I fell in love with his style of naseehah and wisdom, at that time I had this love of collecting every book the ustaads/ustadhas mentioned (notice how I say “collect” not “read”).
The intention was always “I’ll read it when I get time” but as is with life If you don’t make time you ain’t ever gonna have time!!
So I finally dug through my books and found my bidayatul hidayah – Begininngs of guidance by Imam Ghazzali (RH) and Ihya Uloom Uddin.
I opened the Bidayah and thought “Maaan where have I been?!?!”, That is one amazing book, subhanAllah!!
I had the intention of blogging every bit that I found beneficial, but considering that would end up being the entire book, I’ll stick with what really struck me inshaAllah. So there you are getting a heads up on whats to come on the blog for Allah knows how long
Although If I do disappear for sometime (will try not to) it will most likely be because I have my head stuck in a book! Or a dictionary brushing up on my arabic!
My heartfelt JazakumAllah Khair to all the people who I have met in life that have helped me increase my eman. Those whom through Allah has shown me the way to truly work for His deen. I pray that Allah continues to increase us all in eman and grant us all peers who will help us in this world and the hereafter. I pray that Allah grants us all Jannah so that we may be together in the hereafter. Ameen.
Verily the best of friendships are those that are made for the sake of Allah, as their bond continues past the barrier of this world into the hereafter.
