Introduzione al libro "Bidāyah al-Hidāyah" [L'Inizio della retta Guida] di Shaykh Abu Hāmid Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Ghazālī (Translated by G. Celentano):
"You care that you are targeting the acquisition of Science, expressing a sincere desire and intense thirst for it, know that if mirerai with his study to the emulation to vainglory, to colleagues earlier on, to attract people's attention towards you and collect the vanities of this world, you operate the destruction of your religion, to the destruction of your soul, the sale of your future life in change of the earth.
So bad is your business, your business will fail and your teacher will help you in sin, he looking like a partner in the ruins one who sells his sword to a robber, as said the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم ):
" Who helps another to commit a sin, even with a word, it is the socio "
However, if your intention and your purpose in studying between you and God Science is the right guide ( al-Hidayah) and not simply learning, then rejoices that the angels will spread for you their wings when you walk and the fish of the sea, begging for forgiveness when you make haste.
E 'must, however, you know, first, that the right guidance, the fruit of Science, includes a beginning and an end, the external appearance and an inner that you can not get to the end until you have completed the beginning, nor can we discover the inner aspect until you have known the outer.
I will show you the beginning of the line guide, because you can experience your soul and challenge your heart. If you find the heart and soul inclined docile and willing, you can certainly aspire to the parties and final dive in the sea of \u200b\u200bScience.
But if in your heart that you will consider it tends to postpone, delay to act in accordance with his, know that your soul, prone to the study of Science, is " passion that drives the soul to evil " (an-nafs al- ammārah bi-s-on ' ). It is put into action in obedience to Satan, the accursed, to lead them into error by the rope of his deception, luring them with his cunning gradually towards the abyss of ruin.
He aims to introduce evil under the guise of good to share with those who have sadly lost most of their works: they are the ones whose efforts in the mortality was misled when I was thinking of the perfect job [XVIII: 103-4]. Satan then you about the decanter of Science, the high degree of the learned traditions of the Prophet on this and other characters, distracting from the words of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم ): "Who grows in Science and in right guidance, only increases his distance from God , "and again:" The man tormented on the Day of Resurrection will be a product which God has granted to profit from his knowledge .

He also said the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم ): "Oh God ! Seek refuge with You from a science that does not help, a heart that humbles itself, a work that is not raised (to you), a prayer is not answered " and also: "During my Night Journey, having met people whose lips were cut with scissors of fire, I asked them:" Who are you? ". They said:" We command what is good and we did not, and forbids evil we did. "
See why, oh wretched, seduced by the devil so that he may drag you into error by the rope of his deception. Woe to the ignorant who have not learned even once, and woe to the learned that he did not put into practice what they have learned a thousand times!
Know, then, that men, in front of the pursuit of science are found in three conditions:
a) That of a man who sought to have her as viaticum Science until the Day of Return and is not targeted by it unless the Face of God and the tabernacle of the afterlife: he is among those who will be saved.
b) That of a man who has researched the science to serve in this transitory life and to get power, honors, riches and, conscious that, in the heart feels the squalor of his condition and the cowardice of his goal: he is among those who are in danger.
If, in fact, be surprised by death before you repent, you will have to fear for his Hour of extreme evil, and his fate remains dangerously at the mercy of the Divine Will, and if, instead, was able to repent before the completion of the falls life and added to the science works, that man, then, will the ranks of those who will be saved: , for whoever repents of sin is like one who is without fault.

c) The third and final condition, then, is that man that, being enslaved by Satan, has considered the science half to multiply the wealth, boasting of its prestige, to become potent with many followers, creeping with it everywhere, hoping to get what he desires of worldly goods, and yet has a secret ; idea of \u200b\u200bhaving a position at fregiatosi God because of the sign and impressions of products in dress and speech, despite its obvious and intimate frenzy for this world: he is among those who are lost and among those who foolishly s 'illusion. There is no hope that he repents because he believes to be among those who do good, but does not take into account the words of the Most High:
" Oh ye who believe! Why do you say what you do not do? [LXI: 2]
This man belongs, indeed, to the ranks of those about which the said 'Messenger of God ( صلى الله عليه و سلم ): "Most of the Antichrist fear for you one that is not the Antichrist" , and when he was asked: "Who is this , oh Messenger of God? ", he replied:" products are bad. " This is because as the Antichrist is to mislead, so too does the product ( astray ): if the language and words distracts men from worldly things, he reminds them of them with actions and conduct, actions and language is more eloquent than words; the rest of the Human nature is more inclined to join in the works that do not follow the words.
corruption that causes this illusion with his works is greater than the good he does with the words , as the ignorant man does not venture to desire worldly things, if not the example of the learned and, thus, the science of the product becomes for the creatures in the ground for daring to disobey God his soul is ignorant presumptuous: by inducing them to have desires and hopes, God asked him to remind his knowledge and feel that it is better than many other servants of God
You're looking for (Science), therefore, be Watched the first group and from belonging to the second. How many procrastinators, in fact, having been surprised by the end of his life before he could repent, have lost! Careful, careful, and still later to be the third group, so as to perish without it we can hope for your salvation, or wait for your own good.
If you ask: "What is the beginning of the line guide, to enable it to test it with my soul? " know that its beginning is mercy outward (zahir at-taqwah ) and its end is pity inner (batin at-taqwah ) and that there is no victory except through the fear of God ( taqwah ), nor is there a straight guide if not for the pious. And the fear of God is to perform what God Almighty has commanded and avoiding what He has forbidden. "
