More quotes by 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
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
Do not dispute with anyone in any matter as far as possible. For in argumentation lies much harm and its evil is greater than its benefit.
Al-Ghazali
To completely trust in Allah is to be like a child who knows deeply that even if he does not call for the mother, the mother is totally aware of his condition and is looking after him.
Al-Ghazali
To get what you love, you must first be patient with what you hate.
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
Does money upset the hearts of learned men? He answered, men whose hearts are changed by money are not learned
Al-Ghazali
Desires make slaves out of kings and patience makes kings out of slaves.
Al-Ghazali
A man of bad character punishes his own soul.
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
Only that which cannot be lost in a shipwreck is yours.
Al-Ghazali
The hypocrite looks for faults the believer looks for excuses.
Al-Ghazali
Man's nature is made up of four elements, which produce in him four attributes, namely, the beastly, the brutal, the satanic, and the divine. In man there is something of the pig, the dog, the devil, and the saint.
Al-Ghazali
Offen love between two people intensifies not because of beauty or some advantage, but because of sheer spiritual affinity.
Al-Ghazali
The happiness of the drop is to die in the river.
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
If your busy with yourself now, you will be busy with yourself then. If you are busy with Allah now, you will be with Him then.
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
You must convince your heart that whatever Allah has decreed is most appropriate and most beneficial for you.
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!
