Imam Al-Ghazali On The Elucidation Of The Marvels Of The Heart
₦33,000About The Book
Imam Abu Hamid al-Ghazali (also pronounced as Ghazzali) is one of the Gifts of Allah to this Ummah. Illustrative of this is that our scholars have titled him Hujjatul-Islam – The Proof of Islam. He was born in Tus in 450 Hijri and passed away in 505 Hijri.
A great mujtahid who wrote extensively on many of the Islamic disciplines. His works are regarded by the ‘Ulama as the advanced texts of each discipline. His masterpieces include al-Mustasfa min ‘ilm ‘al-Usul, Tahafut al-Falsafiyyah, al-Wajiz and of course Ihya ‘Ulum al-Din. To appreciate the value of this book I find no better words than Imam an-Nawawi who said that if all the books of Islam disappeared except the Book of Allah and the Ihya, it would suffice you.
This is the first volume from our Ihya ‘Ulum Al-Din Series. We hope to bring out many more Subic volumes from this.
The present volume elucidates the marvels (‘Aja’ib) of the heart (Qalb). The Imam deals authoritatively with the hearts diseases and their cures. – Note From Publisher
This is a classic Sufi manual on the ‘science of the heart.’
For Sufis, the ‘heart’ is more than a piece of flesh, it is the seat of the soul, and holds the key to the intimate relationship which exists between soul and body.
Each heart, according to this traditional wisdom accumulated over centuries of spiritual practice and experience, possesses four qualities:
- predatory,
- animal,
- demonic, and
- divine.
The latter represents our true origin and potential, and by use of the intelligence and spiritual practices enabled by God’s grace, we may restore equilibrium to our inner core.

An Exposition Of The Hearts (Hardcover)
₦25,000Allah subhanahu wa tala says, ‘On that day nothing will benefit the human being, neither wealth nor children, only the one who brings Allah a sound heart.’ A sound heart is one that is free of defects and spiritual blemishes. Though the spiritual heart is centred in the physical heart, the heart is referred to here is the spiritual heart, not the physical heart. Imam Ghazzali is well known for his writings on philosophy, reformation, rectification and purification of the hearts.
This book is no exception to these subjects. As the title suggests, Imam Ghazzali lays open the hearts and exposes their diseases, ailments, maladies, virtues, merits and values. In doing so, he proves that the hearts are capable of both good and evil and that it is upon us to either cleanse and purify them or to soil and contaminate them.
Purification of the heart would lead to a life of peace, tranquillity, satisfaction, Paradise, and eventual pleasure of Allah. On the other hand, contamination of the hearts would lead to a life of stress, tension, constant fear, dissatisfaction, Hell, and the displeasure of Allah. Imam Ghazzali provides copious proofs from the Quran, Hadith and sayings of the pious. This most certainly increases the value and benefit of the book. This book is a must-read for those who wish to understand the virtues and diseases of the heart, and wish to adopt the correct measures on the path of purification and reformation
