Prof. Ebrahim Moosa has written a thoughtful article on Imam Ghazali’s legal thought and it can be found here. This is a cause for celebration as this is a field that is hardly treated by those who study Imam Ghazali in the west. So it represents an important milestone in [...]

Mahmoud b. Muhammad al-Hadad has put together in one book the analysis of the Hadith of the ihya’ ‘ulum al-din by al-’Iraqi, al-Subki and al-Zabidi in one volume.
