Alhamdullilah I just finished memorising Surah Al-Baqara… and I feel so happy and blessed 🥹💜

Al-Ghazali believes that sinning causes a person to experience negative emotions, comparing the resultant feeling as a ‘persistent ache’, the only remedy for which is repentance and the determination to keep away from sinning once forgiveness has been sought.

Al-Ghazali warns, reliance on God does not excuse a person from excursion/ action, & that a person must try their best in all affairs. This is to ensure that reliance on God is not used as a concealment for cowardliness, fear, shame etc, but is purely based on knowledge of God.

Al-Ghazali supports this view by quoting the Prophetic traditions:
“When a man’s sins multiply and he has no works by which to atone for them, God brings upon him anxieties, that which becomes atonement for his sins.”
And
“There are sins for which only anxieties atone.”

According to Al-Ghazali, patience is to understand that worldly positions are borrowed from God & when they are taken, it should be regarded as merely being returned to its rightful owner. Being mindful of this leads to feelings of contentment & safeguards from feelings anxiety.

Al-Ghazali argues, patience can look different depending on context. For example, when patience is exercised in words it is called ‘discretion’, when exercised in the battlefield it is termed ‘bravery’, when exercised by withholding from luxuries it is known as ‘asceticism’.

Man has four enemies:
-dunya (life)
-nefs (self)
-shahwa (desires)
-shaytan
Shaytan is the weakest of all four, he can do nothing but suggest & you perceive him as enemy. As for the others, you mistaken them for your own self. They have breached your walls & conquered you.

Al-Ghazali explains: a veil exists between the seen & the unseen world preventing the individual from consciously remembering events that one experienced in the heavenly realm, & that the veil that obscures the truth can only be lifted through remembrance of God and piety.

According to Al-Ghazali, to be truly thankful, one must be mindful that all things are from God alone. Although one should show gratitude towards people who show kindness, one should also acknowledge they were simply a means by which God granted the blessing & not the source.

Cultivation of reliance (توكل) is key to wellbeing. Reliance on God can only be achieved through submission to Him. Submissiogn is an honour earned through knowledge of God, which cultivates self-awareness and discipline.

Al-Ghazali states gratitude does not just stop at the presence/absence of verbal utterance of thanks, but encompasses action. For eg Al-Ghazali explains, hoarding money for fear of poverty or appearing wealthy is denial of God’s Majesty& Mercy,& is therefore an act of ingratitude

Iblis- derived from the word ‘iblas’ , meaning ‘despairing and giving up hope’.
Shaytaan derived from ‘sha-ta-na’ meaning distant or far (from good/God’s mercy).
The adjective used for shaytan is ‘rajim’, which means banned.
Those that despair take on these devil qualities.
