Al-Ghazali on Poverty and Abstinence
R425.00
Al-Ghazali on Poverty and Abstinence is the thirty-fourth chapter of Imam al-Ghazali’s seminal work, The Revival of the Religious Sciences (Ihya’ Ulum al-Din). In this treatise, al-Ghazali explores the concepts of poverty (faqr) and abstinence (zuhd) as virtues in the Islamic tradition. He emphasizes that true poverty is not merely an external state of destitution but an inner acceptance of God’s will and a form of abstinence for His sake. Al-Ghazali discusses the excellence of poverty, the different states of the poor, and the norms of propriety for the poor person, including the forbiddance of unnecessary begging. He also contrasts genuine poverty with a form that is based on greed and love of the world.
