The Duties Of Brotherhood In Islam by Imam Ghazali

THE DUTIES OF BROTHERHOOD IN ISLAM

Unless the human bonds are again infused with affection and the warmth of love and brotherhood, man will never be able to taste the rich joys and pleasures of living together.

It is this blessing of love and brotherhood which is one of the greatest sources of sustenance and nourishment for a man – spiritually, morally, intellectually, socially, and even physically.

The ‘lonely’ man – a product of our age – is wandering in search of bonds that will not snap like dry twigs and leave him in the lurch.

One of the greatest blessings of Islam is its admirable success in creating strong, warm, rich, and durable bonds of love and brotherhood between man and man.

It has done so based on faith in one God, tawhid; but it has also inspired man to follow a pattern of behaviour that will sustain and strengthen the mutual brotherhood.

The book is now before you. Duties of Brotherhood in Islam attempts to present those very norms and values of conduct that make brotherhood in Islam so enduring and so affectionate.

I am grateful to my colleague. Brother Muhtar Holland, for having rendered into English this enormously useful portion of Al-Ghazali’s monumental Ihya ‘’UlUrn al-Din Al-Ghazali needs no introduction and his name is itself a sufficient guarantee of the charm and effectiveness of the treatment of such an important subject in this book.

But I must add that Brother Muhtar has done a very commendable job in preserving and transmitting the original charm in a new vehicle of communication.
