The Decisive Criterion for Distinguishing between Islam and Heresy - Faysal al-Tafriqa bayn al-Islam wa al-Zandaqa #928928

In The Decisive Criterion, the renowned Islamic scholar Abu Hamid al-Ghazali confronts the turbulent theological debates of his time, offering a timeless guide to discerning true faith from subtle heresy. Written amid accusations of his own "deviations," this concise treatise outlines the degrees of belief, the rules of scriptural interpretation, and the perils of hasty excommunication.
With mercy at its core—echoing the Prophet's words, "Make things easy, do not make them difficult"—Ghazali urges balance between literalism and reason, warning against fanaticism that divides the ummah. Ideal for students of theology, interfaith dialogue, or anyone navigating doubt in an age of extremism.
"Verily, the religion is ease, and none makes it difficult unless it overpowers him." – Hadith.
