The Quest For Virtuous Character

About The Book

For over 900 years, Imam al-Ghazali’s Ihya Ulum al-Din (The Revival of the Religious Sciences) has been the spiritual ocean from which Muslims across the globe have derived their religious sustenance.

In this unique compendium, Habib Muhammad ibn Abdillah al-Haddar, may Allah have mercy upon him, has forged a tributary from that ocean into the modern age, contextualizing its guidance for readers navigating the stormy seas of contemporary times.

This is the author's first work 'Ajilat al-Sabiq ila Makarim al-Akhlaq' rendered into the English language, with the hope of benefiting non-Arabic speakers with the scholastic and spiritual legacy of this great Imam.
