Imam al-Ghazali’s systematic approach for developing character came from his magnum opus, the Ihya Ulum al-Din (Revival of the Religious Sciences), and has a strong focus on the purification of the heart.

The Fons Vitae Ghazali Children’s Series provides authentic, quality guidance for children of all ages at a time when their values are being formed. Created as an educational package, which includes beautifully-produced children’s books for parents and teachers, it offers a creative, enjoyable and spiritual supplement (or alternative) to standard Islamic Studies curricula.

Join us and an informed panel where Mustafa Gouverneur, associate director of Fons Vitae, Adeeba Ahmed, manager of an Islamic Sunday school and online academy which teaches the Ghazali Children’s Series, and project tutor Mohammed Isaaq will discuss the impetus behind the series, how it can be utilised and the many benefits it offers.
