🔖 About “The Alchemy of Happiness”

Written as a spiritual guide, “The Alchemy of Happiness” 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.

Notice: We have simplified some of the terms used in the translation to be more fitting for a modern audience. (e.g.: "You" instead of "Thee, Thou").
