Shaykh Yahya Rhodus continues the discussion of Book 1 of Imam al-Ghazali’s Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din in Session 3 of Al-Maqasid’s Weekend Retreat, ‘On Knowledge.' In this session, he explains the term ‘Ilm Ṭarīq al-Ākhira (The Science of the Way to the Hereafter) and how it is the way of the Salaf (the pious predecessors). He also looks at how the term is divided into two branches, with the Ihya’s focus on the branch of practical knowledge or ‘ilm al-mu’āmala. Shaykh Yahya concludes with a discussion on the brilliance behind Imam al-Ghazali’s structuring of the Ihya’ ‘and its 40 chapters.

Allah the Exalted says, "Allah bears witness that there is no god except Him-as do the angels and people of knowledge.” [Quran 3:18] Allah the Exalted also says, "Allah will elevate those of you who are faithful, and ˹raise˺ those gifted with knowledge in rank." [Quran 58:11] And the Prophet Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Whoever Allah wills good for, He grants him an understanding in religion.” [Bukhari & Muslim]
Imam al-Ghazali states, “With respect to the human being, nothing is greater than attaining eternal felicity. And nothing is more virtuous than the means to it. Eternal felicity is only attained through knowledge and action. One can only truly act when he has the knowledge of how to perform the action. Therefore, the foundation of felicity in this world and the next is knowledge. It is the best of all actions.”

Salam Aleykum team Al-Maqasid. Could you please recommend an English translation of the entire Ihya Ulum al-Din please?

There is not one full translation that could be recommended, but the translations of individual Books done by Islamic Texts Society and Fons Vitae are generally good.
