The Beginning of Guidance

By Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali

A timeless roadmap to living with taqwa.

Bidayat al-Hidaya is a practical and inspiring guide to living with God-consciousness (taqwa). Written as one of his final works, it distills a lifetime of wisdom into a clear daily program focused on obedience, avoiding sin, and proper etiquette with both the Creator and creation. This edition presents the complete Arabic text alongside an accessible English translation, enriched with notes and transliterations of key supplications. Concise yet profound, it serves as both an introduction to Ghazali’s larger works and a valuable resource for students, educators, and anyone seeking to strengthen their spiritual practice.
