Join the acclaimed scholar Shaykh Yahya Rhodus, founding director of Al-Maqasid, an Islamic seminary in Pennsylvania, to discuss Ghazali and Aristotle.
In his magnus opus, the Ihya Ulum al-Din, also known as the Revival of the Religious Sciences, tenth century Persian polymath Abu Hamid al-Ghazali explored the importance of reflection as an act of enrichment. The Book of Contemplation is the penultimate of the 40 books of the Revival of Religious Sciences, and the very last to appear in English translation.
Hear Shaykh Rhodus’s interpretation of the Book of Contemplation which is filled with wonder at the Creator and his creation, and learn how it may also be an explanation of the mysterious 10th book of Aristotle’s famous Nicomachean Ethics.
