Book Title: Secrets of Creation

Imam Gazzali RH.

The first thing I found from the authors small biography described in the beginning of the book, a small story. It is described as -

Once the author was traveling with a group and they were robbed by a group of thugs. They took all of the effects of the authors including some manuscripts. These manuscripts are the written notes of the lectures given by his master's, thus was so precious. Then the author begged to the leader of the robbers to give those manuscripts. Although the leader gave him the scripts, but said, "If you need this then what are you learning". After that Hazrat Imam Gazzali RA always memorized things he learned.

The oldest and the heavenly way of education: Memorizing.

Beyond philosophy

اَ فَلَمۡ يَنۡظُرُوۡۤا اِلَى السَّمَآءِ فَوۡقَهُمۡ كَيۡفَ بَنَيۡنٰهَا وَزَ يَّـنّٰهَا وَمَا لَهَا مِنۡ فُرُوۡجٍ‏

Surah Qaf

فُرُوۡجٍ or Flawless is the perfect indication of the universe either the phisical eye sees it or not.

It has been always a mystery to me why I feel a kind of peace watching the night sky or the horizon of sea, depth of forest. Gazzali RH. described how a beautiful palace, jewels has a limit of attrectiveness; after some moments it becomes simple stuff. But the infinite created by the creator himself will never disappoint you by looking at it.

When you feel sad, look at the sky, look at the miracles behind.
