In Al-Ghazali on Poverty and Abstinence, Abu Hamid al-Ghazali considers two themes dear to Islamic devotional literature: poverty and abstinence. Taking as his example the Prophet’s love for the poor, Ghazali explains that poverty is not simply an accidental state of deprivation that might befall anyone but rather an inner acceptance of the Will of God and a form of abstinence for His sake. Thus, the life of poverty described by Ghazali in Al-Ghazali on Poverty and Abstinence refers to what every devoted follower of the Prophet is meant to adopt, whatever his or her outer state may be.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan id=\"bookfeatures\"\u003ePAGES:\u003c\/span\u003e 224, PAPERBACK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan id=\"bookfeatures\"\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/span\u003e 23 x 15cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"The Islamic Texts Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41336804966513,"sku":"9781903682814","price":47.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/3290\/4561\/files\/al-ghazali-on-poverty-and-abstinence-darussalam-islamic-bookstore-dsbooks-1.jpg?v=1725069292","url":"https:\/\/www.dsbooks.com.au\/products\/al-ghazali-on-poverty-and-abstinence","provider":"Darussalam Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
