Imam Ghazali: Remembrance Of Death And The After Life-ohhhh, if that doesnt scare the hell out of ya, I don't know what will.

[conurgenceDen]

Aslaam walaikum, any advice on what book or two to get out of those? I already got Spectacle of death so would Rememberance of Death and Afterlife help?
Walaikum aslaam.

assalamualaikum everyone
my first post
the books that really inspired me were:
Love For Allah(shaykh zulfikar ahmed)
riyadh-us-saliheen(collection of saheeh ahadith)
wassalam

[loolitoertego]

Assalamu 'Alaikum. If you're talking (or writting) about 'Sufism and Good Character', then yes, I have read it. It's a really good book. It was originally written by Imam Zafar Uthmani and then translated and commented on by Abdur-Rahman ibn Yusuf. Publishers: White Thread Press.

[loolitoertego]

Assalamu Alaikum. I would cartainly have to agree with 'Love for Allah' by Shaykh Zulfiqar Ahmad. That totally intoduced the concept of 'tasawwuf' into my life. This increased my love for Allah ('azzawajal) by around (at least) 10 times! This book does 'exactly what it says on the tin'! Now I'm interested in tasawwuf and also understand the importance of it to be a true believer. This is what my soul was searching for. And as for 'Remembrance of Deah and Afterlife', I ordered it over a month ago on the recommendation of our beloved brother Yusuf over the internet but it still hasn't arrived yet! Who wrote 'Spectacles of Death'? Jazakallahu khair.

Assalam

Of course the Noble Quran, sunnah books and other by the salaf

[eduptultyt]

That's the hard-back version bro - note there's a paperback one too

The best thing is to borrow

[loolitoertego]

what I was wondering about specifically was whether these books are worth getting, The Inhabitants of Hell, Sufism and good character

Assalamu 'Alaikum. I don't know about the other books, but I can certainly recommend you 'Sufism and Good Character'. I think that is an excellent book. The shaykh who originally wrote that book was taught by Mufti Taqi Uthmani's grandad so it has to be good! Assalamu 'Alaikum.

Enjoy.

Aslaam walaikum, what about the last two books I mentioned they any good? If I get Remeberance of death and the afterlife should I get Inhabitants of Hell seeing as I got spectacle of death already too? Are there any books that list all the major sins and poss minor sins and maybe some things you get rewarded for?
JazakAllah Khair.
Walaikum Aslaam.

Assalamualaikum,

These books changed MY life:

1. Fadail-e-A'maal - Maulana Zakariyya Kandalwi
2. Love for Allah - Maulana Zulfiqar Ahmad

All answers accepted except for "The Qur'an".

as salamu alaykum

try 'the lives of man' by Imam al-Haddad.

much of it is based on the Ghazali text, but its shorter and more succint - and it does the job (it tells you to sort yourself out basically)...

superb.

Spectacle Of death is nothing like Imam Ghazali's masterpiece. It's a million times better. I found spectacle of death boring and dry, sorry [compared to Imam Ghazali's book].

[Intory]

Fihi ma fihi - Discourses of Rumi ... translated by nicholsan

Tazkhirat ul aulia - The lifes of Saints ... dont know who translated it.

LOVE FOR ALLAH- Shaykh Zulfiqar Ahmed (db)

Also, a couple of books on death...

[conurgenceDen]

Aslaam walaikum, Spectacle of Death is by Khawaja Mohammad Islam, what I was wondering about specifically was whether these books are worth getting, The Inhabitants of Hell, Sufism and good character and Governing you and your family by what Allah has revealed? Hyperlinks are in my other post.
JazakAllah Khair.
Walaikum Aslaam.
