About “The beginning of guidance”
Bidayat al-Hidayah was written by Abū Ḥāmid Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad al-Ghazālī during his final days. It is a guidebook that outlines the principles of seeking guidance through taqwa, or God-consciousness. The book is structured as a daily program and is divided into three sections: obedience, refraining from disobedience, and the etiquette of companionship with God and His creation. It functions as an introduction to his larger works. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
