Where do I begin? This book has changed my life in so many ways, that a few words are not enough. It is a must read for every Muslim who would want a summary of understanding of our deen, Islam. The way Imam Al-Ghazali approached this book, reflects the genius of his mind and the depth of his writing. He starts from zero and travels beautifully to one. This book helps you start from scratch, build your faith and Knowledge brick by brick to strengthen it accordingly. In the end of some chapters, it fills you with content that cannot be described and at times, it moves your insides that will make you ponder on your past. A lot of credit needs to be given to the translator, Marwan Khalaf who made sure that no stone was unturned. Although, this book is the summary of Magnum Opus Ihya Ulum ad din from Arabic, and it has been beautifully summarised by the translator, who is gifted with a good understanding of English language. I could imagine that translating a work like this from Arabic to English is a tough task, but it’s been thoroughly done and amplified to the best of the translators effort. I have been recently informed online that Mr Marwan Khalaf passed away in October, 2019. May Allah rest his soul in peace. The Amount of time and energy it took from me for me to read and grasp this book exceeds by far all the other books I have ever read. After finishing every chapter /quarter, you get this sense of freshness inside your being which i have never experienced with any other worldly book. My guide, who suggested me this book introduced it as something that is in the order after the Quran and Hadeeth and I haven’t felt any less. In short, Ihya Ulum ad din is by every word a Magnum Opus. SubhanAllah! May Allah be pleased with Imam Al-Ghazāli and reward Marwan Khalaf for his efforts in the Hereafter. Ameen.
