By Imam Al-Ghazali, Fons Vitae Publishing, Hardback, 54 pages
This book is a part of the Ghazali Children’s Project Book Set. It contains coloured illustrations. This is a part of an educational series that contains books, workbooks and a curriculum.
With many metaphors and imaginary tales, this book presents very profound concepts about belief and the afterlife. Imam Al-Ghazali uses the image of small plants which grow in our hearts into magnificent trees to illustrate how doing beautiful deeds will nourish inner growth and later produce beautiful fruits. His metaphor for polishing the heart makes it very easy for children to imagine the process of self-observation and correction.
