Al-Ghazali Again?

Yes.. i am still not finished with this topic. I am so amazed with this man. I will never compare him with the prophet Muhammad s.a.w. - to compare Rasulullah s.a.w. with others isn't right.. Rasulullah (the prophet pbuh) is a mercy for mankind. His whole life touched us in every sense. Rasulullah was a very exceptional man.. in our hearts, he stays! But it doesn't mean that we cannot admire other people too... I am just amazed on Imam Al-Ghazali of his vast knowledge and how much he strove to achieve excellence in his field.. or perhaps i should say fields, he mastered all fields! Sheikh Abdullah Yassin said that it is true when Sheikh Hamza Yusuf said we don't actually know Imam Al-Ghazali.. he would not write until he memorized 12,000 pages of text. Hang on a minute!!! Do you really mean 12,000 pages? Can you do that? i don't know if i cover 12,000 pages in a month or even a year? And i am a PhD student here! What have we here? Don't you all see? How great this man was? How serious he took life - dead serious. And we? What do we do? Sheikh Abdullah Yassin said that we are only like nursery kids or perhaps a very young child in terms of knowledge. And many of us criticize scholars like we know what we are talking about. Who are we to judge people. These are people who were sincere in their lives.. seeking for Allah. Al-Ghazali had gone through all experiments of life.. he tested every each one in order to seek for the truth. Indeed, he was a real life scientist or what they called him as THE PROOF OF ISLAM. When he spoke, no one dare to deny because he could win any debate. Yes.. some people ridicule him.. but they are really ridiculing themselves. These are the blessings of Allah. Allah bestow upon some people specialties others do not possess. Instead of condemning others, why don't we try to follow their footsteps. Perhaps one day, Allah will grant us wisdom. Let's make dua Allah will accept us as His righteous servants too, grant us knowledge that is useful for us and use us for His deen and gather us with those fortunate ones who had gone earlier than us who had proven to be the successful ones -the prophets, the companions, the tabi'in, the scholars... Our lives.. we don't know when they are going to end but as long as we are still here, let's make the most of it. Relive Islam and spread the truth.
OO Allah, how much you have blessed those people who had lived before us - You gave them the blessings of your knowledge and make them wiser than many of us. Help us too, O You Most Kind Most Merciful. Please help us in our everyday lives and ease our path to the truth and please do not let us astray. Please help us to keep You and Rasul Allah s.a.w. in our hearts. For we depend on You on all matters, O You All Merciful All Wise.

O Allah! You embrace all things within Your Grace and Knowledge, forgive those who repent and follow Your path, and ward off from them the punishment of Hell. (40:7)

O Allah! Perfect our light for us and forgive us our sins, for verily You have power over all things. (66:8)

My beloved friends, remind ourselves of this glad tiding for it will be ours, with His mercy, insy'Allah:


This is the paradise which you have been made to inherit because of your deeds which you used to do (in the life of the world). Al-Zukhruf:72

Wallahu'alam!
