More quotes by Al-Ghazali
The happiness of the drop is to die in the river.
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
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
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
Know, O beloved, that man was not created in jest or at random, but marvelously made and for some great end. Although he is not form everlasting, yet he lives for ever and though his body is mean and earthly, yet his spirit is lofty and divine
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.

Does money upset the hearts of learned men? He answered, men whose hearts are changed by money are not learned
Al-Ghazali
The corruption of religions comes from turning them to mere words and appearances.
Al-Ghazali
Men have such a good opinion of themselves, of their mental superiority and intellectual depth they believe themselves so skilled in discerning the true from the false, the path of safety from those of error, that they should be forbidden as much as possible the perusal of philosophic writings.
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
There are two kinds of Riya - Showing off-Ostentation ie pure ostentation and adulterated ostention. In pure ostentation Riya a man does a good deed only for worldly benefit. In Adulterated ostentation, a man does a good deed with the intention of reaping the benefits of the world as well as of the Hereafter.
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
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
A man of bad character punishes his own soul.
Al-Ghazali
Do not allow your heart to take pleasure with the praises of people, nor be saddened by their condemnation.
Al-Ghazali
This visible world is a trace of that invisible one and the former follows the latter like a shadow.
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
