Title: The Alchemy of Happiness
Author: Al-Ghazzali
Synopsis: The Alchemy of Happiness was written by Al-Ghazzali—a Persian theologian and philosopher. Upon its release, 'The Alchemy of Happiness' allowed Al Ghazzali to considerably reduce the tensions between the scholars and mystics. It thus offers many insights into traditional Muslim society.'The Alchemy of Happiness' emphasized the importance of observing the ritual requirements of Islam, the actions that would lead to salvation, and avoidance of sin. Ghazzali finally won acceptance for Sufism in Islam, and his methods of argument and analysis powerfully impressed the scholars of the West, who imitated him extensively.CONTENTS:Chapter 1 : The Knowledge of SelfChapter 2 : The Knowledge of GodChapter 3 : The Knowledge of this WorldChapter 4 : The Knowledge of the Next WorldChapter 5 : Concerning Music and Dancing as Aids to the Religious LifeChapter 6 : Concerning Self-Examination and the Recollection of GodChapter 7 : Marriage as a Help or Hindrance to the Religious LifeChapter 8 : The Love of God
