Book 24 from the Ihyaʾ ʿUlūm al-Dīn

The Mystery of the Mount & the Golden Cave

We are all talking most of the day, even speaking in our heads to ourselves continuously. The ways we use speech can easily harm others and then, at the same time, destroy our own inner core while compromising our dignity. We are, for the most part however, completely unaware of the hurt we are causing.

Here you are provided with one of the most useful tools you will ever have to help you be conscious of what you are saying and re-align yourselves with your highest nature. You will thereby be better able to act and speak directly from the Heart.

If someone advises you not to lie or argue, why doesn’t that prevent you from doing so? It’s because you do not understand all the components and subtle dimensions of lying or arguing.

The brilliant way that Imam al-Ghazālī explains the “banes” – or scourges – of the tongue will not only astound you but will elevate the entire relationship you have with your Self. A greater awareness of the dangers of speech will arise.
