progress. He at that point proceeds to clarify the basics of this "starting."
While being succinct and to-the-point the manual is spread out as a definite
day by day timetable giving the peruser solid motivation and much awful
direction. The three segments of this book are on acquiescence, abstaining from
noncompliance, and the decorum of friendship with the Creator and with
creation. One of Imam Ghazali's last works, it epitomizes a lifetime of
learning, background, and otherworldliness and can be taken as a prologue to
his bigger works.
