Al-Ghazzali on Disciplining the Self by Muhammad Al-Ghazzali

rick_sam's review

3.0

Al-Ghazali is famously known as, "Proof of Islam." In Discipling of Self, Al-Ghazali starts with his belief in Islam, "There is no God but God [Allah]." The Three Fundamentals of his thought in this book are Knowledge, States, and Actions. Al-Ghazali builds on these three and urges believers to train their self (soul). I was surprised to find, Al-Ghazali saying, Man is made in the image of God. If you have read Aristotle's Ethics, you might find similar thought here.

Overall, a great short read.
