About “The Alchemy of Happiness”
--------------------------------------
Upon the release of this book, the Kimiya-yi sa'ādat allowed al-Ghazali to considerably cut the tensions between the scholars and mystics.[3] Kimiya-yi sa'ādat emphasized the importance of observing the ritual requirements of religion, the actions that would lead to salvation, and avoidance of sin. The factor that set the Kimiya-yi sa'ādat apart from other theological works at the time was its mystical emphasis on self-discipline and asceticism. (Wikipedia)
About Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali
--------------------------------------
Al-Ghazali was a Persian polymath. He is known as one of the most prominent and influential philosophers, theologians, jurists, logicians and mystics.
He is considered to be the 5th century's Mujaddid, a renewer of the faith, who, according to the prophetic hadith, appears once every 100 years to restore the faith of the Islamic Community
His works were so highly acclaimed by his contemporaries that al-Ghazali was awarded the honorific title "Proof of Islam" (Ḥujjat al-Islām).
Al-Ghazali believed that the Islamic spiritual tradition had become moribund and that the spiritual sciences taught by the first generation of Muslims had been forgotten. This belief led him to write his magnum opus entitled Iḥyā’ ‘ulūm ad-dīn ("The Revival of the Religious Sciences"). Among his other works, the Tahāfut al-Falāsifa ("Incoherence of the Philosophers") is a landmark in the history of philosophy, as it advances the critique of Aristotelian science developed later in 14th-century Europe.

[@eyft5163]

I dont understand why these translations still need to use all these thou , thy , thee words ... its unecessary and makes it harder to understand ...

[@Chillbooks]

The translation is from the early 1900s by Claud Field, they still used these

[@safina2022]

Ridiculous ads ruin the listening

[@Chillbooks]

Do you want me spend on the channel myself without any support from ads? This is a free channel, do you think it just spawns videos for free? Also blame KZbin, these are auto placed.

[@safina2022]

@@Chillbooks I am blaming KZbin. The quantity and length of ads is getting worse and worse. You shouldn’t personalise comments aimed at this money making site. Ads at the beginning and end of an audiobook should be sufficient. Anyway it is a shame because it’s a good book.
