Thirty Nights of the Iḥyāʾ
إحياء علوم الدين في رمضان
One chapter of Imam al-Ghazali every night of Ramadan.
One book of the Iḥyāʾ ʿUlūm al-Dīn every night of Ramadan — al-Ghazali's forty-book revival, paced to fit the month. A single sitting after Iftar, the whole of classical Islamic spirituality traced from worship through the heart to the remembrance of death. Whether you listen in the car, at the masjid, or in the stillness after Tarawih, the plan is waiting where you left it.
