Cleansing the Heart of Ostentation, Conceit, Arrogance & Pride

The Beginning of Guidance for Muslim Women

Assalamu alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

Welcome back to the MISK women podcast series on Imam al-Ghazali's "Beginning of Guidance"!

After a longer break than expected, we are back to complete the book, seeking to benefit from the great knowledge, wisdom and advice of the author and our noble and beloved commentator, Imam al-Jawi, may Allah have mercy and be pleased with them both.

This episode is the recording of the last class we did on Zoom in October 2020.

At about 53 mins the statement "Whoever knows himself knows his Lord" is briefly mentioned. As a confirmation of the status of the statement, please note that the great scholar Imam Jalaluddin al-Suyuti wrote a short treatise on this statement and confirmed that it is NOT a Prophetic hadith, and is in fact attributed to a Sufi named Yahya ibn Mu'ath al-Razi.

Jazakum Allahu khairan.
