Widely considered to be Al-Ghazali’s last book, the Minhajal-Abidin, is the summary of his philosophy which charts the pitfalls andobstacle to be overcome in order to enter the kingdom of Heaven. Dictating hiswords to a group of elect students, Ghazali acknowledges his own nearness todeath and instructs seekers of eternal life to resist hindrances such as fearand impairments such as conceit in order to find salvation in the essentials ofGod.

This books is considered by many as a summary ofAl-Ghazali’s Ihya Ulum ad Deen (The Revival of the Religious Sciences) which iswidely regarded as one of the great works for the Self-Development of Muslimsand has for centuries been a widely read and respected work in the Muslim world.

Imam Al-Ghazali dictated this book to a very few and selected students in his very last days.
