This gifted young writer's work is amazing. She is not an Al-Azhar graduate or educated, but her articles are very useful. As usual, her style and techniques make her articles easy to read, understand and enjoy. She is very busy in her day-to-day living but refuses to produce mediocre blogs. I recommend this refreshing article particularly for readers who “do not have time” and yet want to know more about Islam and its connection to day-to-day living.<br /> In her "dew point" Daliah sticks to her point (ma qull wa dall, in Arabic).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5638413944983068358.post-56569952368512644802012-08-30T11:07:09.590+04:002012-08-30T11:07:09.590+04:00Hi Karen, a friend of mine last year recommended I...Hi Karen, a friend of mine last year recommended I read Al-Ghazali's Invocations and Supplications, that's how I came to know of the series. Al-Ghazali is regarded as some to be the most-influential Muslim after Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). His series on the revival of religious science is, according to some sources, the most-widely read text related to Islamic spirituality after the Quran. <br /><br />However, English translations of his work are recent, I believe, and I've struggled to find them. Islamic mystic Rumi, who is a widely known and read in English, was inspired by Ghazali. The book I'm reading now, and the one I just completed (Love, Longing, Intimacy and Contentment) were published in 2011 by the Islamic Texts Society in Cambridge (http://www.its.org.uk/alghazali.html) which is working on translating the entire 40-part book series. <br /><br />I'm sure much of his work has been quoted extensively in English, but these translations are phenonmenal. I feel like my soul is uplifted a little each time I read a word.:)<br /><br /><br /><br />Dewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618123767557603812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5638413944983068358.post-46884466813518730272012-08-30T07:38:07.297+04:002012-08-30T07:38:07.297+04:00Daliah, where did you learn about these books?
