The Book of Love, Longing, Intimacy and Contentment is the thirty-sixth chapter of Abu Hamid al-Ghazali's Revival of the Religious Sciences. This was the first treatise which established not merely the possibility but the necessity for the love of God. Ghazali argues that all the virtues and spiritual stages that precede love, like repentance, patience and thankfulness, lead to love; and all the spiritual stages that follow on from love are a result of it.

"The Condemnation of Pride and Self-Admiration" is the 29th chapter of "Revival of the Religious Sciences", by the renowned theologian-mystic Abu Hamid Muhammad al-Ghazali (d.1111). Perhaps the most important chapter in the "Revival", it delves into the fundamental spiritual ailments and impediments of the soul, namely pride and self-admiration.
