GHAZALI (1058-1111 CE)
Hujjatul Islam Imam Muhammad Abu Hamid Ghazali is supposed to be one of the top Mullahs and Sufis of the Islamic world. His greatest works are Ehyaul Uloom (The Renaissance of All Knowledge) and Kimiya-e- Saadat (The Alchemy of Grace).
Ehyaul Uloom Vol 2, being used here for reference purposes, was printed by Maktaba Rahmania, Urdu Bazaar, Lahore-2, Zahid Bashir Printers, and translated by Hazrat "Maulana" Muhammad Ehsan Saheb Siddiqui Nanotwi. The Urdu title inside appears as Mazaaqul Aarifain (Published: 1286 AH (1866 CE)).
Imam Ghazali is a classical example of our Mullahs and Sufis not only forsaking the Quran, but going directly against it and trying to cancel it out. You will see this deplorable fact in his books.
Let us examine the heights of his flight. First, let us say a few words about another one of Ghazalis lasting masterpiece. DARS-E-NIZAMI (Devised by Imam Ghazali)
Nizamul Mulk Toosi (1018-1092 CE) was the Prime Minister of the Suljuk King Malik Shah, and after him of King Alp Arsalan. Toosi was a Zoroastrian in Muslim disguise (Nihaayat-e-Tareekh-Abbasi, Sheikh al-Hafiz Yousuf Naishapuri). Toosi opened up the Great Nizamia University in 1067 CE in Baghdad. It was the foremost university of the Islamic world with satellites in Khurasan, Neshapur, Damascus, Bukhara etc. Smaller branches existed in Herat, Balkh, Merv, Tashkent and Isphahan in today's Afghanistan, Iran and the former Soviet states. The center in Baghdad had as its principal, 'Imam' Abu Hamid Ghazali who primarily laid down the mindless Nizami syllabus in collaboration with Toosi.
Since 1067 CE when the Nizamia University was founded, nearly a millennium has gone by. Until this day, the syllabus, Dars-e-Nizami, prescribed by these two Criminals of Islam (Toosi and Ghazali) is very much in force throughout the world in the so-called Islamic Madrasahs. It includes nothing but stupidities, and therefore, carries no room for understanding the Last Word of Allah, Al-Quran.
Chanting to repel the invaders:
To get a glimpse of the conspiracy of Nizamul Mulk Toosi, just one example should suffice. As the Prime Minister of the Suljuk Empire, he advised the two successive kings not to build any defenses for the Empire. He claimed that his students in the Madrasahs would work on rosary beads and do Wazifas (chanting of verses) and repel the enemy.
Even today, the nonsensical sixteen Uloom (sciences) prescribed by Nizamia consume eight years of the life of the Muslim youth rendering them useless for this world and the next. Ironically, ask any Mullah who has gone through these Madrasahs for eight years as to who the founder of Darse Nizami was, and there is a very good chance he won't have an answer!
EHYAUL ULOOM VOLUME TWO (by Ghazali)
Note: As an example, 2:53 will mean Vol 2 pg 53.
After finishing your meal, licking the cup or plate and drinking the washings brings the reward of freeing a slave. Eating the pieces of food on the dining cloth will bring a good life, your children will be healthy and it will become the marital gift for the (houris) heavenly beauties. (2:13)
The best among my friends is the one who overeats and places big morsels (نیوالا) in his mouth. (Imam Jafar Sadiq quoted by Ghazali, 2:15).
Cattle meat is disease and its milk is cure. (2:36).
Hazrat Ali said, Start your food with a breakfast of salt and Allah will remove seventy afflictions. Eating halwa (pancake like stuff) and sweets causes the testicles to dangle. (2:36).
The best prescription for good health is to marry young women. Never marry women who are not very young. (2:37)
Men of knowledge sleep on their right side, kings sleep on their left, and Satan sleeps with his face down. (2:39)
Going for a bath without breakfast and then delaying breakfast will kill a person. I will be surprised if he survives. (Ghazali quoting Imam Shafii, 2:39).
Sahabi Maaz bin Jabl was dying of Plague. He said, "Get me married because I hate to meet with Allah while I am single. (2:42)
The Prophet said that a piece of rug lying in a corner of the house is better than a woman who is infertile. (2:48)
There is a Hadith that a dark woman who bears children is better than a beautiful woman who bears no children. (2:49). Did you notice dark used as a synonym for ugly?
On (2:52) Ghazali goes on to say, When a mans organ is in erection, two thirds of his mind and two thirds of his religion have departed from him. This is the wisdom and expression of our Hujjatul Islam (The Testimony
of Islam) Hazrat Imam Abu Hamid Ghazali!
Junaid Baghdadi used to say, I need sex as much as I need food. (2:53)
On (2:53) Ghazali insults the exalted Messenger thus: He came out of his house. On his way he saw a woman. The Messenger turned back at once, went inside his house and had sex with Zainab. Then he came out and said,
Whenever a woman comes in front, she comes in the form of a Satan. How on earth did Ghazali or any one else come to know that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) did such a thing? Did the Prophet and his followers have no sense of privacy and decency? Did they live in glass houses? Our historians try to portray the noble Prophet spending half of his time on the prayer rug and the other half in bed. This was the most remarkable man who changed the course of history in two decades, and ushered in the most benevolent revolution the world has seen until his followers abandoned his glorious teachings in the Book revealed to him. Was he (صلى الله عليه وسلم) so obsessed with sex as these Mullahs are?
Imam Hasan used to divorce four women and marry four others at the same hour. He married more than 200 wives. That is why the Prophet said, Hasan is from me. (2:55). Note: According to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) the most undesirable among permissible acts is divorce.
The Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) complained to the angel Gabriel of his impotence. Gabriel advised Harissa (an herb). Ghazali and Ibnil Qayyim explain in Tibb-e-Nabawi that the herb was an important prescription since there was an army of women. The Prophets and his companions wives could marry none else, and their desire had to be satisfied. (2:56).
Find a woman who is beautiful, well mannered, has big black eyes and black hair, and a white complexion. (2:73).
Quoting Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal, Ghazali writes that obtaining exquisite pleasure from sex is the fortress of religion. (2:73).
The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said, "The best wives are those who look beautiful and their Mehr (marital portions or gift) is small." (2:74). Note: The exalted Prophet had advised character as the first and foremost criterion in the selection of
a spouse.
Do not marry a woman who is infertile. (2:75). Ghazali does not say how he would determine the fertility of a woman.
The blessed woman is that who gets married early and delivers children quickly. Always marry a woman who gives birth to plenty of children. Never marry an infertile woman. Marrying a young and healthy woman ensures her fertility. Always marry virgin women. (2:75
Ghazali advises that the health of a newborn baby will be better if the sexual desire (and encounter) between the husband and the wife was vigorous. This advantage is lost in marrying a closely known related woman. (2:76)
Hasan Basri rightly said, A husband who does what his wife tells him, Allah will throw him headlong in Hell. (2:81)
Ghazali insults Hazrat Umar by ascribing this statement to him: Ask women their advice and then act precisely opposite to them. There is much blessing in doing the opposite of what women advise. (2:81)
The Prophet said, If a husband has all of his body, from head to toe, filled with pus and the wife licks him all over, even then she has not thanked him enough. (2:103).
KIMIYA-E-SAADAT (by Ghazali)
Kimiya-e-Saadat (The Alchemy of Grace) is supposedly the masterpiece of "Hujjatul Islam" Hazrat Abu Hamid Imam Ghazali. Mullahs and Sufis have promoted this work for centuries as a fountain of knowledge. The book used here for reference purposes is from Madina Publishing Company, M.A. Jinnah Road, Karachi, Pakistan. The translator
is "Maulana" Maulvi Khateeb Azam Aalijanaab Muhammad Saeed Ahmed Naqshbandi Saheb, Khateeb Masjid Data Ganj Bakhsh, Lahore. January 1986.
A woman of bad lineage is always of foul character. Therefore, it is one of
the cardinal rules to abstain from marrying such women. (Pg 261).
Let not your humor take away your fear from the wife. A wife should forever remain a bondwoman to her husband. Seek advice from women but always do against it. If a man leaves his women free to themselves, they will cross all limits. Stop her from going out of home to the best of your ability. Do not let her go to the door, on top of the house or peek from the window. Tribulations begin from the windows, ventilators, the roofs and doors. (Pg 263)
The Prophet and his companions once returned from a journey at night. He commanded them not to go to their homes. Two of the companions disregarded the command and saw evil work going on at their homes. (Pg 264)
Hazrat Umar had advised men not to let women dress decently so that they would stay at home. If they dress nicely, they would love to go outside (and display their charms). (Pg 264)
The Messenger of Allah said, No work is dearer to Allah than remaining hungry and thirsty. Its reward is equal to that of those who fight with Kaafirs. Salaat, Saum, and service to humanity do not come close to selfdenial. (Pg 483)
For centuries, Islamic priesthood has promoted self-denial, rahbaniyat (asceticism) as great piety. The Prophet (S) admonished, There is no asceticism in Islam. (Several sources). The Quran (28:77) commands not to forget our portion in this world. You will note that non-Muslims are delighted with ascetics because their philosophy takes away the vitality
of Islam.
A saint correctly said, I am not scared of a lion, as I am scared of a boy under puberty because of lust. (Pg 497)
Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq used to carry pebbles in his mouth so that he would not speak. (Pg 505).
It is highly tragic that stories of this kind are being taught in the Islamic schools and Masjids. This is absolutely not the Islam Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) brought to this world. Allama Sir Iqbal called it Ajami (foreign) Islam. Allama Inayatullah Khan Al-Mashriqi named it Maulvi Ka Ghalat Mazhab (The Mullahs Wrong Religion).
It is easy to see that Ghazalis type of Islam is the fundamental cause of the universal downfall of Muslims. The True Islam is very much alive and vibrant in the Glorious Quran, if only the Muslims would turn to it.
