Parents praise for Imam Al Ghazli Book Project

Imam al-Ghazali continues to be a teacher for one and all for centuries.

The al-Ghazali Children’s Project also continues to grow and flourish interactively with its volumes for the young on character refinement.

The project has evolved into a key element in the much needed paradigm shift for effective character refinement and beautiful education for the young.

Countless letters from parents to the publisher note that this condensation and simplification of the essential teachings of Imam al-Ghazali have made it possible for them to realize these meaningful and universal truths in their own lives.  For more check out https://ghazalichildren.org/
