-Book 28 of the Ihya ‘Ulum al al-Din, The Book of Condemning Status and Ostentation-

With Shaykh Abd al-Hakim Murad

Dr. Amina Nawaz

For the last 12 years Alqueria de Rosales has had the great honour of hosting this important event dedicated to the study of the works and teachings of Imam al-Ghazali.

Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad was educated at Cambridge, Al-Azhar and London universities. He is currently the Shaykh Zayed Lecturer of Islamic Studies in the Faculty of Divinity at Cambridge University, Director of Studies in Theology at Wolfson College and Chairman of the Cambridge Mosque Trust. He is the Founder and Dean of the Cambridge Muslim College. He has published and contributed to numerous academic works on Islam, including as Director of the Sunna Project, and is a leading figure in inter-faith activity, notably as one of the signatories to the Common Word statement. He is well-known as a contributor to BBC Radio 4’s ‘Thought for the Day’.

Dr Amina Nawaz is a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Center for Islamic Theology at the University of Tübingen. Her research focuses on the ways in which Muslims living in pluralistic contexts have historically engaged with law and theology in their written works. She completed her PhD in the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Cambridge in 2016 with a doctoral dissertation which examined the sixteenth-century devotional writings of Morisco communities in Spain. Her monograph project examines the legal and theological aspects of Morisco devotional works as case studies by which to reconsider current perceptions of Muslims in ‘non-majority’ contexts.

The Ghazali retreat 2022 will take place between July 6th and 12th. We invite you to join Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad in Alqueria de Rosales and spend ‘Eid al-Adha in the company of muslims for all over the Ummah.

Al-Ghazali Retreat 2018. The Secrets of the Prayer

The Ghazali Retreat 2017 centered on Book 37 of Imam al-Ghazali’s Revival of the Religious Sciences, entitled ‘The Book of Intention, Sincerity and Truthfulness’. The objective for the participants was to gain clearer knowledge of the reasons for the turbulences of the inner live and to gain practical awareness of how Islamic spirituality transforms human beings into more centred and conscious beings.

On the Ghazali Retreat of 2017, Dr. Samer Dajani presented a series of conferences intended to accompany the themes of Book 37 of Imam al-Ghazali’s Revival of the Religious Sciences. Here we offer together his conferences on The Remembrance of God, Gratitude and Truthfulness.

We are presenting together all Master Classes on Imam Al Ghazali by Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad from The Ghazali Week 2013, on Book 24 of the Revival of the Religious Sciences, the Ihya Ulum al-Din.
