Question<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Can we read the book Ihyau Ulum Uddin by Hujjatul Islam Imam al Ghazali rahimahulloh? I think we can find many thoughts whether positive or negative in the writings of scholars in that book<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

‘The Ihya’ has been a continuous inspiration until present times and has been highly regarded by many of the author\u2019s admirers and detractors alike. Hafiz Zayn ad-Din al-Iraqi considered it the foremost literary composition of Islam. Muhammad Gazaruni declared that were all the Islamic sciences to be completely effaced, he could revive them with the help of Ihya\u2019. Despite his differences with Imam Ghazali, the great historian and hadith master of Baghdad, Ibn al-Jawzi, acknowledged the popularity and matchless sincerity of the Ihya\u2019 and wrote a summary of it, titled Minhaj al-Qasidin (Path of the Truth Seekers). Shibli Nu\u2019mani said that every word of the Ihya\u2019 possesses a magnetic effect on the reader. Ibn Taymiyyah stated that the Ihya\u2019 contains many beneficial points, despite his other criticism of it.\u201d[1]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
