How do we begin to live a life of genuine spiritual awareness? For over nine centuries, seekers have turned to this small but profound book for the answer. In *The Beginning of Guidance*, the great scholar and mystic Al-Ghazali lays out the essential practices and inner disciplines that transform ordinary routines into acts of devotion. From the etiquette of waking and sleeping to the purification of the heart from pride, envy, and anger, this guide offers a complete roadmap for the beginner and a refresher for the seasoned traveller. This modern English edition renders Al-Ghazali's classical Arabic into clear, inviting prose while preserving the depth and precision of the original. The result is a book that speaks directly to the contemporary reader—whether Muslim or simply curious—who longs for a coherent, grounded approach to spiritual life.
