More quotes by 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
Knowledge exists potentially in the human soul like the seed in the soil by learning the potential becomes actual.
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
You must convince your heart that whatever Allah has decreed is most appropriate and most beneficial for you.
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
Does money upset the hearts of learned men? He answered, men whose hearts are changed by money are not learned
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

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
If those who do not possess knowledge avoid the scholarly discussions, disagreement will end.
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
Knowledge without action is wastefulness and action without knowledge is foolishness.
Al-Ghazali
Whoever passes forty without his virtue overpowering his vice, let him get ready for hellfire. This advice contains enough for people of knowledge.
Al-Ghazali
A human-being is not a human-being while his tendencies include self-indulgence, covetousness, temper and attacking other people
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
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
He who does not arrive at the Intuition of these Truths by means of Ecstasy knows only the name of Inspiration.
Al-Ghazali
A man of bad character punishes his own soul.
Al-Ghazali
Understand that for every rule which I have mentioned from the Quran, the Devil has one to match it, which he puts beside the proper rule to cause error.
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.
