Written as a spiritual guide, ā€œThe Alchemy of Happinessā€ explores the deeper meaning of human existence, the purification of the soul, and the path to achieving true inner contentment. Drawing from Islamic teachings, philosophy, and Sufi thought, Al-Ghazali provides profound reflections on self-knowledge, divine love, and moral discipline, emphasizing that happiness is found through understanding oneself and one’s relationship with God.
