Spiritual Diseases of the Heart: Symptoms and Remedies

Official program of the European Institute of Human Sciences (IESH) of Château Chinon

Spiritual investment is not simple: Concentration in acts of worship does not decree, it is acquired after long labor, just as piety increases thanks to specific and recurring acts.

This is all the more difficult since man, by his nature, is subject to forgetfulness, is weak, and assiduity in effort is not easy for him from the outset.

Presented in a clear manner, the work is stripped of all weak and dubious hadiths, and takes up the heart of Ghazali's work, synthesized in a single volume.

It has been invaluable to us insofar as it places the problem of spirituality in the contemporary context, by exposing particularly the problems which encounter people engaged in the generic work of da'wa, as well as educators.

In this booklet, we will deal with four diseases among those that Imam al Ghazali has listed in his book, hoping that their reading will enlighten us on the reality of our own person.
