‘Imam Ghazali’s Bidayat al-Hidaya is a highly motivational manual detailing the fundamentals of acquiring guidance through God-consciousness (taqwa). Imam Ghazali argues that just as there is an end to this noble objective there is also a beginning to it, which must be made firm for one to achieve success. He then goes on to expound the fundamentals of this “beginning.”

While being concise and to-the-point the manual is laid out in the form of a detailed daily timetable providing the reader strong inspiration and much heart-rending counsel.

The three sections of this book are on obedience, refraining from disobedience, and the etiquette of companionship with the Creator and with creation. One of Imam Ghazali’s final works, it embodies a lifetime of learning, experience, and spirituality and can be taken as an introduction to his larger works.’

The Beginning of Guidance



‘You should know before all else that guidance, which is the fruit of knowledge, has a beginning and an end, an outward aspect and an inward essence. There is no way to reach the end without mastering the beginning, just as there is no way to discover the inner essence of it until you have arrived at an understanding of its outward’.



[Imam Ghazzali, May Allah Be Pleased with him – The Beginning of Guidance]





When the guidance of Allah penetrates the heart, there is no other gift we could wish for. It is a light which illuminates the journey one takes from the dunya to the akhira. It is the means by which we live a life according to the Pleasure of our Lord. Islam is the way of life that leads to an abode of eternal success. It is the means by which hearts are filled with peace, solace and tranquillity. If one has Allah, then no doubt they have everything – and if one loses Allah, then no doubt, they have lost everything…



Everyone in the world is in pursuit of happiness. However, happiness can only penetrate the heart if the One that Created it so wishes. Even the ‘wealthiest’ cannot purchase guidance because guidance is only from The Lord of The Worlds. For the reality is, the one with guidance is in fact the wealthiest of all people. For the possession of the Kalimah at heart will outweigh the entire dunya and all it contains.

AlMuhsinaat presents this unique course entitled, ‘The Beginning of Guidance’. A course that will insha’Allah enable us to tread this path and embark upon a journey that will - Allah Willing - lead to an abode of eternal bliss.

With Ramadhan just around the corner, this course will provide an excellent foundation to really help us make the transformation and transition that we need to get closer to our Lord, Allah Almighty.

Ramadhan is a month, in which is a night greater than a 1000 months. What better way than to use this course as an opportunity to nurture our hearts and minds in preparation for this time of blessing and reward.

This course will take students through a phenomenal book that will inshaAllah enable us to tread the path of guidance. And Verily Guidance is only from Allah!

This course will open doors for the student to a lifetime of change and transition! And moreover it is in support of Ummah welfare Trust - so your fees & donations will help transform the life of another as well!

The Sisters’ course shall insha’Allah be taught by Ustadha Bint Ahmad.
Keep an eye out too, as a brothers’ course on this same topic will be announced in due course as well insha’Allah.

Do not let go of this opportunity. This unique course will be going through practical and spiritual ways to transform our daily routines into one that is more pleasing to Our Creator. It will enable students to build a daily routine which will bear more fruitful actions within our day and enable us to live a life of Baraka insha’Allah.

We are sure that everyone will agree that time literally flies by. Time passes in the blink of an eye. And verily this is a sign of the Last Hour approaching. How can we strive to utilise our time in a way that will bear the fruits of Baraka? This course will aim to enlighten students into achieving just that with the Tawfeeq of Allah.

SO what's the delay?

Enrol NOW inshaAllah and enrol a friend as well, for verily our beloved Prophet SalAllahu 'alayhi wassalam said:

"The one who points to the good has the reward of the one who performs it."

Don't let go of this unmissable opportunity!

A Testimonial by a student at AlMuhsinaat.



Brothers and Sisters, this opportunity has come again and if you’re reading this, this is the knocking at your door. Open it wholeheartedly and take up this opportunity insha’Allah.



--------------------



I am currently studying the book Bidaya Al Hidaya [The Beginning of Guidance] with AlMuhsinaat. We have nearly reached the end of this book and it has literally opened my eyes to the beginning of a new journey.



On starting the book months back, I remember turning through the first few pages and coming to the paragraph where Imam Ghazali writes profoundly,



‘You should know before all else that guidance, which is the fruit of knowledge, has a beginning and an end.



There is no way to reach the end without mastering the beginning.



Here I am going to point you to the ‘beginning of guidance’ for you to see where you stand and determine what your heart intends. If you find your heart inclining toward it, and you find yourself compliant and receptive, then look to the ends of it, and immerse yourself in the oceans of this knowledge.



Having read this, I can honestly say that the heart inclines to what is overleaf at once. Thinking back and reflecting over each chapter - each page overflows with advice that permeates the heart and infiltrates the soul. The book opened my mind to truly understand and appreciate the practical means and steps by which we can embark upon that journey of change.



In the busy nature of life, we often find ourselves caught up in our own personal endeavours, to such an extent that we often get trapped within our own bubble, forgetting the purpose and reason behind our actions. Doing something just to get it done, taking exams just to scrape a pass and fulfilling duties just to avoid the backlash of not having done it, becomes our driving force in life.



It is only when we realise the purpose behind an action that even the most mundane of things can become a means of joy. It is only when we strive for a greater purpose, the purpose we were created for, that we will taste the fruits of our daily pursuits when we retire to bed each night.



Through studying this book, you can see how over time, with the blessings of Allah, it helps to make your actions an embodiment of Ihsaan – Excellency, the very ethos of AlMuhsinaat.



The book Bidaya Al Hidaya becomes like a daily manual which will transform your daily routine into one that will insha’Allah bear the fruits of Baraka and maximise what we achieve in our 24 hour clock.



A common complaint we always make and hear around us is the lack of time. Our inability to fulfil that which we want within our day. That inability which leads us to cram last minute for an exam, devoid our actions of Ihsaan due to the rush we encounter in trying to get it done. A concept that we can only overcome through transforming our current routine into one that will enable us to achieve more, yet in the same amount of time.



How many stories do we hear about individuals of the past who lived such exemplary lives and achieved so much at such young ages? In current times, how many accounts do we hear of children who have the Quran within their heart at such a tender age? And yet their day is the same 24 hours that we have within ours?



With the blessings of Allah, these individuals have tasted the fruits of Baraka by cultivating their fields with the very seeds that will sow them.



‎"Sometimes people with the worst past create the best Future"


It is never late to change and we should never despair of the mercy of Allah Most High.



As soon as I heard that AlMuhsinaat will be taking students through Bidaya Al Hidaya again this summer – there was no better opportunity I could think of. With Ramadhan so quickly approaching, and by being in a climate where change and transition is so necessary, this opportunity has truly come at a brilliant time.



We have nearly reached the end of this book, yet I cannot wait to go back and re-read this phenomenal study, as Imam Ghazali so beautifully writes, ‘There is no way to reach the end without mastering the beginning’.



When the opportunity came to study this book months back with AlMuhsinaat, it was a knocking at my door. In hindsight, I cannot thank Allah enough for granting me the ability through His Grace to open that door.



Brothers and Sisters, this opportunity has come again and if you’re reading this, this is the knocking at your door. Open it wholeheartedly and take up this opportunity insha’Allah.



There is a course dedicated to sisters to be taught by Ustadha Bint Ahmad [my teacher] on Saturday 30th June and Sunday 1st July in London. Spaces are still available, and 100% of online fees go to Ummah Welfare Trust!



There is also a course dedicated to brothers to be taught by Shaykh Muhammad Husain Qadhi [Imam of Masjid Umer] on the same weekend insha’Allah!



These course instructors are excellent Alhamdulillah and anyone who has attended their circles in the past will no doubt bear testimony to it.



I pray we can all answer that door and that Allah Makes this course a means of change for us all insha’Allah.
