Description

al-Ghazali on the Lawful & the Unlawfulis the fourteenth chapter ofThe Revival of the Religious Sciences(Ihya Ulum al-Din), which is widely considered as the greatest work of Islamic spirituality. Written by one of the most famous of theologian-mystics of all time,The Book of the Lawful & the Unlawfulis unlike other Islamic works concerned with legal issues; here, Abu Hamid al-Ghazali aims to teach his readers firstly the theory of what is lawful and what is unlawful and how to deal with dubious or ambiguous issues, and secondly how to apply the knowledge they have gained to their everyday lives. The main support for this application, especially in matters that are unclear, is caution or prudence, and Ghazali explains the degrees of prudence necessary, beginning with the prudence of the upright and ending with the prudence of the saintly. Thus, the sincere practice of what is lawful and desisting from what is unlawful become integrated into one's spiritual life.

About the Author

Abu Hamid al-Ghazali (1058-1111), theologian, logician, jurist and mystic, was born and died at the town of Tus in Central Asia, but spent much of his life lecturing at Baghdad, or leading the life of a wandering dervish. Because of his success in revealing the compatibility of the outward forms of religion with the inner experiences of the Sufi tradition, he is commonly regarded as the renewer of the fifth Muslim century, and the most influential thinker of mediaeval Islam.

David Burrell is Theodore M. Hesburgh professor of Philosophy and theology at the University of Notre Dame (USA). Nazih Daher is Chairman of the Department of Asian and African Languages at the Foreign Service Institute of the United States Department of State.
