Perhaps the most important chapter in the whole of the Revival, \u003ci\u003eThe Condemnation of Pride and Self-Admiration\u003c\/i\u003e delves into the fundamental spiritual ailments and major impediments of the soul, namely pride and self-admiration. Ghazali offers readers an in-depth analysis of how and why pride and self-admiration are so harmful to a person's soul, and oulines methods of recognizing and subsequently healing these diseases of the heart. The key ingredient in this cure, Ghazali explains, is the cultivation of humility, which results from an increasing awareness of one's lowliness and essential nothingness before God. An indepth and very lucid analysis of the major vices and virtues central to all religions.","brand":"Islamic Texts Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47058598035696,"sku":"9781911141136","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781911141136_p0.jpg?v=1763630447","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781911141136","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
