About This Book:
"The Book of Fear and Hope." In the context of religious devotion, this particular section explores the psychological and spiritual aspects of dread and hope. Al-Ghazali defined ear as the knowledge of God's wrath and the dread of sinning and failing spiritually. It serves as a deterrent to wrongdoing and motivates people to pursue obedience and goodness. Christians are inspired by fear to confess their sins, ask for forgiveness, and take the necessary safeguards to abstain from bad behaviour. This is a translation of the third book from the fourth volume of Imam al-Ghazali’s magnum opus Ihya Ulum al-Din, concerning the means of salvation, that is, the techniques or therapies by which the cure of the soul is achieved. The principle objective is to outline the salutary employment of fear and hope in the cure of the soul. The book deals with a topic of pastoral psychology and is a good sample of the work of Imam al-Ghazali in so far as it illustrates some of the reasons why he has attained so commanding a position within Islam and exercised so great an influence on the course of theological thought.
