More quotes by Al-Ghazali
Desires make slaves out of kings and patience makes kings out of slaves.
Al-Ghazali
You must convince your heart that whatever Allah has decreed is most appropriate and most beneficial for you.
Al-Ghazali
Whoever says that all music is prohibited, let him also claim that the songs of birds are prohibited.
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
Never have I dealt with anything more difficult than my own soul, which sometimes helps me and sometimes opposes me.
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
A human-being is not a human-being while his tendencies include self-indulgence, covetousness, temper and attacking other people
Al-Ghazali
The happiness of the drop is to die in the river.
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
Love for God is the farthest reach of all stations, the sun of the highest degrees, and there is no station after that of love, except its fruit and its consequences.
Al-Ghazali
This visible world is a trace of that invisible one and the former follows the latter like a shadow.
Al-Ghazali
Whoever determines the truth from people alone will remain lost in the plains of bewilderment. Rather, know the truth, and you will know its people.
Al-Ghazali
No one who possesses snow would find any hardship in exchanging it for jewels and pearls. This world is like snow exposed to sun, which continues to melt until it disappears altogether, while the next life is like a precious stone that never passes away.
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
Are you ready to cut off your head and place your foot on it? If so, come Love awaits you! Love is not grown in a garden, nor sold in the marketplace whether you are a king or a servant, the price is your head, and nothing less. Yes, the cost of the elixir of love is your head! Do you hesitate? 0 miser, It is cheap at that price!
Al-Ghazali
Each of your breaths is a priceless jewel, since each of them is irreplaceable and once gone, can never be retrieved.
Al-Ghazali
Do not fix hopes on your health, and do not laugh away life. Remember how they walked and now all their joints lie separately, and the tongue with which they talked lightly is eaten away by the worms
Al-Ghazali
The soul should take care of the body, just as the pilgrim on his way to Makkah takes care of his camel but if the pilgrim spends his whole time in feeding and adorning his camel, the caravan will leave him behind, and he will perish in the desert.
Al-Ghazali
Half of disbelief in Allah in the world is caused by people who make religion look ugly due to their bad conduct and ignorance
Al-Ghazali
The hypocrite looks for faults the believer looks for excuses.
