Summary |
Le Prophète disait : « La situation du croyant est vraiment étonnante ! Tout ce qui le concerne est merveilleux : quand, devant un malheur, il fait preuve de patience, cela lui sera bénéfique ; et quand, dans un moment de joie, il se montre reconnaissant envers Dieu, alors cela lui sera également bénéfique. Cette chose n’est réservée qu’au croyant. » |

This chapter falls in the section dealing with the virtues or what is conducive to salvation. Ghazali here presents definitions for patience and its different forms; the need for patience; the degrees of patience; and why patience is considered to be half of faith. |
