The final work of Imam Abu Hamid al-Ghazzali recaptures the simplicity of the orthodox creed of Islam. He accomplishes this by demostrating how the first three generations of Muslims (the Salaf) understood the allegorical reports found in the Qur'an and the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). With his unique and poetic expression, Imam Ghazzali provides a seven-step approach for the common muslim and explains why forays into theological polemics should be avoided.

Complete with explanatory notes, this translation is a great contribution to English readers. --Mufti Abdur-Rahman Ibn Yusuf, White Thread Press
