Always fascinated by Al-Ghazali (the purifier or destroyer of old Islam) but never inclined to read nor hear his actual words. Thanx for the opportunity. I cannot go with him much at all. He was too rigid and non-adaptive in traditional conservatism and too mystical for a pragmatist like me. Yet, this discourse on happiness has universal truth in it if you pare away the baggage of self-absorbed and self-righteousness partisan true belief.
People like you attach too much importance to yourself and think very high of your ignorant views which is actually sheer ignorance and that's where by you become a soul lost...
you are speaking your desire aloud, check yourself in the miror you are on the verge to fall, Tomb a few steps away, Allah said only truth shall save the being otherwise light is switch off how can you walk in an absolute darkness?
No doubt that Ghazaali was a saint.But my personal experience with and observation of Sufis is very mixed.They can't speak in a unified voice.They run each other down.I think it is better to learn from great teachers without identifying themselves as their disciples.
Al Ghazali wasn't Sufi or at least not in the same vein as you would understand the present day Sufism. It's very important for people to understand where he is coming from. He had a very complicated understanding of the things. He dedicated the later part of his life to resolve the various philosophical tensions and came up with a way of dealing with life, understanding ones being and the God.
@@Phenom999999 Highly doubt he was part of Ahlul Bida' like present day Sufis are. Allahu alam. I bet you also refer to yourself as a Sufi first and then add the word muslim right? "I'm a Sufi" or "i'm a Sufi muslim" all of these labels these days make me confused. I try to stick to the teachings of the Salaf which to me makes the most sense but you wont hear me say i'm a Salafi, i'm a muslim and that's that.
@@excusemeforbeingsorry Don't be foolish. I don't refer to myself as a Sufi before Muslim. Don't speak on things you don't understand. Stick to the basics, that's fine. Best of luck.
@@amallee3361 Fire was a sign of respect for god, Not worshipped. Secondly Zoroastrian religion respected the environment. It said You should not polute the earth the air the water and many more. So stop bieliving Muslim propaganda against other religions.
These poisonous/manipulative opinions from mentally beaten Ghazali (who calls others fools without any introspection or self-awareness because he is the fool with shame to hide) sound like propaganda because he does not allow deeper thoughtful discourse and does not invite any debate because of his fear of the truth that may contradict that which he merely wishes to be true without trying to better it. It is a bit like the Christian Saint Aquinas, all of these are corrupted rich individuals desperate to fit in to the uncontrolled but controllable (with some effortful manipulation) societies growing like a plague around them due to general dissatisfaction increasing population growth rates of those dissociating from reality in order to continue moving as cogs in a corrupt society (thanks to the rich wanting themselves and their families to stay rich and become richer against all others in their community).

@@auliyasufisrealheroesofisl4730 That must be real clever of Jalal ;) ...See what I did there? I exposed a hypocrisy in that which is not true, i.e. the unsupported and unproven claims of Jalal's false heart. What the false prophets do is sell bewilderment labeled as cleverness, because to deny agnosticism is to lie and to deny doubt is to lie. Lying to yourself is the worst and most deluded thing which plagues our world. Gods that want to be believed in should really prove themselves if they have any strength to do so,. It is a fact that you do not infringe my human will by existing as a clear and obviously provable human, and my parents don't infringe my human will by proving clearly and simply that they stand by my side.

They seek a false awakening merely to quench their own false and biased thirst. And if seeking perfect justice, what should be the dully allotted punishment for such detrimental beliefs/actions/beings? Not only should the false religions pull logs out from their own eyes, but they should look more carefully in a mirror, instead of lying and misleading for particular convenience.
@@letsomethingshine Well, what makes you think that any religion is asserting that it has RATIONAL, LOGICAL AND SCIENTIFIC proof for the existence of GOD. In fact, the god in every religion, right from the proto-religions of stone age was deliberately imagined to be unscientific. In fact, whatever was mysterious to humans was imagined to be god. The thunder gods were common when human explanation didn't touch the phenomena of lightening. The sun god was common when human knowledge fell short of explaining the daily visits of sun. Nobody imagined a wheel to be god. Nor did any culture imagine clothes to be god. There has been no god in human history which was bound by know n knowledge of science at that time. Basically the god was always placed where science stops. And what would a god, whose existence can be proven mean? Then you already have gods. Mass and energy is god. Everything is made up of matter and energy. Time is god, for everything exists in time. Space is god, for everything exists in space. A god proven by reason, is by definition limited by same laws that limit human. So, any god, worthy of human attention has to be by definition above laws of logic and physics. Cannot be proven. Can never be proven. The epitome of human existence is in our capacity to search for truth, unless we accept us as being similar to animals. If we are just another animal, well why not to just release a gas that makes every human to fall asleep and sleep permanently, because what is then the point of so much misery from mere existence. God is experiential, As al ghazali is saying, you don't find god by putting things under more and more powerful microscopes. You find god by putting your existence under microscope. The god hypothesis, is a valid hypothesis, albeit subjective. If you believe music is a thing, comedy is a thing, beauty is a thing, mental pain is a thing, happiness is a thing, boredom is a thing, even when science tells you that sound is just waves in air, all beautiful and ugly things are just different arrangements of 3 primary colors. And science tells you that things have mass, size, position, energy etc but nothing called beauty. And there is nothing like happiness and misery, it is all different concentration of different chemicals in your body. In fact having such scientific explanations for all of these things, still we maintain these experiences are things in themselves which science simply doesn't see. In same sense, ALLAH exists and makes perfect sense for people who are blessed with it. It is music for someone and compressional sound waves for other. Its happiness for someone and higher concentration of dopamine for someone. It is beauty for someone and just 3 primary colors for someone. IT IS GOD FOR SOMEONE AND JUST INANIMATE UNIVERSE FOR SOMEONE.
@@saadrizvi6630 _"Al ghazali was a genius"_ So was Hegel. And he was wrong about pretty much everything. _"admired by des cartes and pascal"_ So what? You have the usual religious delusion that reputation equals truth.
If "Azrael" is supposed to be an angel taking the soul of Abraham, it's not even in the Jewish or Christian traditions before Islam was invented, so it is already a corruption that Al Ghazali was taught in his time. Stop believing so blindly. Wake up.
@Bashart Ali Many of the best of people much more prefer others. For example, Aristotle and Socrates and Diogenes and Zhuangzi and Voltaire and many more. The self-contradictory and obviously false blood-thirsty religions of the vain Abrahamics are not even favored except by those who tell themselves that they need such tyrannical barbarity to be true. Even rejecting the essence or most details given by the pro-Abrahamic mystic philosophers making way for the hardened and ignorant bibliolaters to step in and take power which they use to hurt others out of their fear and insecurity. Even though it is a well-founded insecurity, given that they themselves deep in their own hearts understand that their society's Abrahamic religions are false and as such they often doubt any number of aspects of the believes that are stamped by the societies around them. Yet not even the heart can doubt true science that stands aside and much beyond the false religion/heart, and for science (as with anything real) only the mind and action can test it in order to demonstrate it or falsify it. The true heart, and the true emotion, is thus empirical. Objective truth thus stands both within and outside and beyond any imagined deities, including any pathetic robot slave like Azrael is largely arbitrarily portrayed as in the pictures painted by merely and obviously human words.
