Imam Ghazali on Death to Resurrection (Barzakh)

In this enlightening lecture, Dr. Mufti Abdur-Rahman Mangera delves into the profound insights of Imam Abu Hamid al-Ghazali on the journey of the soul from death to resurrection, as explored in his celebrated works, particularly “Dhikr al-Mawt wa-ma Ba’dahu” (Remembrance of Death and What Follows). Drawing from Imam Ghazali’s meticulous treatment of the stages of the afterlife, the lecture covers key topics such as the reality of death, the soul’s separation from the body, the experiences of the grave (Barzakh), and the eventual resurrection (Qiyamah). With a blend of theological depth and spiritual reflection, Dr. Mangera brings clarity to Ghazali’s perspective on how one’s deeds shape the soul’s state after death and offers practical advice for living a life of awareness, preparation, and moral responsibility.
