Al-Ghazali (1058-1111) was one of the most influential scholars in Islamic history. His most famous work (Iḥyāʾ ʿulūm al-dīn, the Revival of the Religious Sciences) is widely regarded as the greatest work of Muslim spirituality and is perhaps the most read work in the Muslim world, after the Qurʾān.

We will be discussing the fourth part of this seminal work (rub’ al-munjiyat) which is about ways of salvation and includes the virtues that people must strive for. This part includes a series of 10 sub-sections:

1: On Repentance.
2: On Patience and Thankfulness.
3: On Fear and Hope.
4: On Poverty and Abstinence.
5: Faith in Divine Unity and Trust in Divine Providence.
6: On Love, Longing, Intimacy and Contentment.
7: On Intention, Sincerity, and Truth.
8: On Holding Vigil and Self-Examination.
9: On Meditation.
10: On the Remembrance of Death and the Afterlife.
