More quotes by Al-Ghazali
If you see Allah, Mighty and Magnificent, holding back this world from you, frequently trying you with adversity and tribulation, know that you hold a great status with Him. Know that He is dealing with you as He does with His Awliya’ and chosen elite, and is watching over you.
Al-Ghazali
In God, there is no sorrow or suffering or affliction. If you want to be free of all affliction and suffering, hold fast to God, and turn wholly to Him, and to no one else. Indeed, all your suffering comes from this: that you do not turn toward God and no one else.
Al-Ghazali
He who buries his head deep into a nosebag full of food cannot hope to see the invisible world.
Al-Ghazali
Those who look for seashells will find seashells those who open them will find pearls.
Al-Ghazali

Al-Ghazali

Al-Ghazali
Do not allow your heart to take pleasure with the praises of people, nor be saddened by their condemnation.
Al-Ghazali
If those who do not possess knowledge avoid the scholarly discussions, disagreement will end.
Al-Ghazali
People count with self-satisfaction the number of times they have recited the name of God on their prayer beads, but they keep no beads for reckoning the number of idle words they speak.
Al-Ghazali
Work for your terrestrial life in proportion to your location in it, and work for your afterlife in proportion to your eternity in it.
Al-Ghazali
Dear friend, Your heart is a polished mirror. You must wipe it dean of the veil of dust that has gathered upon it, because it is destined to reflect the light of divine secrets.
Al-Ghazali
In the intricate paths of life when difficulties and hardships confront a man, and the darkness of difficulty and suffering becomes long, it is patience only that acts like a light for a Muslim, that keeps him safe from wandering here and there, and saves him from the muddy marsh of disappointment, desperation and frustration.
Al-Ghazali
The happiness of the drop is to die in the river.
Al-Ghazali
Knowledge without action is wastefulness and action without knowledge is foolishness.
Al-Ghazali
The mere physical man is like the ant crawling on the paper, who observes black lettering and attributes its production to the pen and nothing more.
Al-Ghazali
A human-being is not a human-being while his tendencies include self-indulgence, covetousness, temper and attacking other people
Al-Ghazali
Remember it is the heart and not the body, which strives to draw near to God. By heart I do not mean the flesh perceived by the senses, but that secret thing which is sometimes expressed by spirit, and sometimes by soul.
Al-Ghazali
