Re: It is True!
Once again a saying has been presented by this website from a Tafsir, the writer of which, did not even quote the chain of narrators for this saying of Imam Al-Ghazaali. Brilliant.
Are you unaware that this entire Religion is based on the chain of narrators? There have been books attributed to Imam Al-Ghazaali, and Imam Al-Dhahabi (I bring him into this because in those allegedly fabricated books he has praised Ibn Taymiyyah), which have been rejected by the scholars of Ahl Al-Sunnah since the chain of narrators by means of which those books have reached us are not authentic.
So, would you be nice enough to contact the owners of this website to perhaps, at least, quote the book of Imam Al-Ghazaali in which this quote of his is present or the chain by means of which it has reached us rather than give a second hand resource in which this quote has been quoted.
For those who can read Arabic should check up on
كُتُب الإمام الغزالي الثَّابت مِنها
**The Books of Imam Al-Ghazali**which are authentic (i.e. have been written by the Imam and not attributed to him falsely)
As for the Tafsir which they mention which contains this quote you can read the quote in the Tafsir here. As you can see the author totally omitted the chain of narrators probably because there was none!
Anyone who has spend any time reading Tafsirs is well aware that even famous Tafsirs such as those of Imam Al-Tabari and Imam Al-Qurtubi contain fabrications in them.
