Join ALIM's online monthly book club, hosted by Ustadh Ubaydullah Evans! We cover topics like mental health, spirituality, social justice, and more. Books are announced at the beginning of each month, to give you time to read and prepare for the live discussion, hosted by Ust. Evans. On the last Wednesday of the month, we meet for a virtual discussion to discuss the reading at 7/8pm CST/EST. Sessions are discussion style with audience participation and reflection, with occasional special guest speakers.
We recommend a $15 registration fee, so that we can continue to offer this free service to the public and to keep everyone dedicated to monthly meetings.

The 38th chapter of the Revival of the Religious Sciences, this treatise follows on from Al-Ghazali on Intention, Sincerity & Truthfulness. Here, Ghazali focuses on the different stations of steadfastness in religion (murabaha), vigilance and self-examination being its cornerstones. As in all his writings, Ghazali bases his arguments on the Qur’an, the example of the Prophet, and the sayings of numerous scholars and Sufis. As relevant today as it was in the 11th century, this discourse will be of interest to anyone concerned with ethics and moral philosophy.
