Description
Al-Ghazali's Mysteries of Charity and Fasting Book 5 and 6 of Ihya' 'ulum Al-Din offer a comprehensive exploration of two fundamental practices in Islam: charity and fasting. In these two books, al-Ghazali delves into the inner and outer meanings of these pillars of worship, discussing the various kinds of charity and the conditions under which they become obligatory. He also explains the recipients of charity and the manners related to receiving it, as well as the virtues of charity. The books also cover the outward obligations and sunna elements of fasting, including what is required if the fast is broken. Al-Ghazali explains the mysteries of fasting and its inner conditions, and discusses the voluntary fasts and their order in superogatory worship. This readable and practical work provides a deeper understanding of charity and fasting, and is an indispensable guide for Muslims seeking to comprehend these practices. With its comprehensive coverage of the essential outward and inward aspects of charity and fasting, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the meaning and role of these practices in Islam.
