Al-Ghazali on Poverty and Abstinence is the thirty-fourth chapter of the Revival of the Religious Sciences (Ihya' 'Ulum al-Din), which is widely regarded as the greatest work of Muslim spirituality. In Al-Ghazali on Poverty and Abstinence, Abu Hamid al-Ghazali considers two themes dear to Islamic devotional literature: poverty and abstinence. Taking as his example the Prophet's love for the poor, Ghazali explains that poverty is not simply an accidental state of destitution that might befall anyone but rather an inner acceptance of the Will of God and a form of abstinence for His sake. Thus the life of poverty described by Ghazali in Al-Ghazali on Poverty and Abstinence refers to what every devoted follower of the Prophet is meant to adopt whatever his or her outer state may be. In this new edition, the Islamic Texts Society has included the translation of Abu Hamid al-Ghazali's own Introduction to the Revival of the Religious Sciences which gives the reasons that caused him to write the work, the structure of the whole of the Revival and places each of the chapters in the context of the others.

An important work of contemporary Islamic thought argues against the programmatic use of Islamic religious texts to support fundamentalist beliefs First published in Arabic in 1994, progressive Muslim scholar Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd's controversial essay argued that conventional fundamentalist interpretations of the Quran and other Islamic religious texts are ahistorical and misleading. Conservative religious leaders accused him of apostasy. Marking the first time a work by Abu Zayd is available in its entirety in any Western language, this English edition makes his erudite interpretation of classical Islamic thought accessible to a wider audience at a critical historical moment.

Concerning Divine Wisdom in the Creation of Man is a selected translation and commentary of Imam al-Ghazali's treatise on the human anatomy and physiology. In it, al-Ghazali masterfully provides the seeker of religious knowledge a window into Allah's creativity through the Islamic study of anatomy. The study of anatomy for the Muslim serves as a potential means to fulfill two distinct goals: To increase one's attachment to the Creator through a deeper appreciation of the details of His creation Or to become a professional with knowledge of diseases and cures The broad audience of medical students, physicians, healthcare professionals, as well as non-medical seekers of religious knowledge will appreciate the details of human anatomy described by Imam al-Ghazali through an Islamic lens. Readers will also recognize that this discussion, though accurate from the perspective of modern medicine, reflects a distinctly different paradigm from that of modern anatomy and physiology. Imam al-Ghazali asserts that there is a spiritual component to the human being, and that every detail of human anatomy is representative of Allah's qudra, His power, and His wisdom. In this text, al-Ghazali describes these spiritual purposes alongside the physical anatomy, with the same level of clarity and precision. This edition includes Dr. Kamran Riaz's meticulous English translation side-by-side with al-Ghazali's original Arabic text. The translation is followed by over 150 endnotes from Dr. Riaz and Shaykh Mohammed Amin Kholwadia. Author: Imam Abu Hamid al-Ghazali Translator: Dr. Kamran Riaz Commentary: Dr. Kamran Riaz & Shaykh Mohammed Amin Kholwadia Introduction by Shaykh Mohammed Amin Kholwadia Foreword by Dr. Ahsan Arozullah Languages: English and Arabic Hardback Edition: 146 pages Publisher: Imam Ghazali Publishing

Abu Hamid Muhammad al-Ghazzali (1058-1111) is one of the most important religious figures in Islamic history. He is particularly noted for his brilliant synthesis of mysticism and traditional Sunni Islam. Ghazzali's "The Alchemy of Happiness", written toward the end of his life, provides a succinct introduction to both the theory and practice of Sufism (Islamic mysticism). It thus offers many insights into traditional Muslim society. This translation is fully annotated for readers unfamiliar with Ghazzali and includes an introduction to his life and historical milieu.

Shalat merupakan ibadah mahdhah, yakni penghambaan diri murni kepada Allah Swt. Di dalam ibadah inilah, manusia menunjukkan dan membuktikan kemakhlukannya kepada Sang Khaliq yang berkuasa atas semua makhluk-Nya. Sebagai ibadah mahdhah, shalat bersifat sangat terikat dengan dasar ittiba' kepada yang telah dicontohkan dan diatur oleh Rasulullah Saw. Sehingga, mengurangi atau melebihi dari apa yang telah dicontohkan dan diatur oleh Rasulullah Saw., apalagi mengarang shalat model baru, hukumnya ialah bid'ah dhalālah. Buku ini mengurai seluruh bidang yang berkenaan dengan shalat. Mulai hakikat shalat, syarat dan rukun shalat, sunnah-sunnah shalat, hal-hal yang makruh dan membatalkan shalat, dzikir setelah shalat, serta berdoa setelah melaksanakan shalat. Dan, yang paling penting ialah, buku ini memberi tahu Anda tata cara shalat khusyuk sesuai sunnah Rasulullah Saw. Selamat membaca!
