College students: towards the end of the collection of letters of advice to his student, Imam al Ghazali advises eight parting lessons - four things to stay away from, and four things to try and do.There are times we mistakenly believe that the path to improvement is only found in doing more - while Imam al Ghazali reminds us that being able to discipline ourselves, holding ourselves back from certain things is a sometimes more effective way of improving ourselves.This Soul Food Thursday, we'll be talking about the four ways of improvement that are centered around withholding from doing something: arguing, becoming self-righteous, avoiding luxurious company, and to not be vulnerable to selling your morals and principles for gifts and money.Every program we’re able to produce and upload for our community online is possible through the support of our sustainers.

College Students: when we say we want to achieve something, we can look internally at our heart and know at that moment if we *truly* want to achieve it, or if we just want to talk the talk but not walk the walk.⁠⁠In this advice, Imam al Ghazali gives a reality check about saying you want to be something without actually putting in the work to be it. What are the signs that we really mean it? And what happens if we lie to ourselves for too long?Every program we’re able to produce and upload for our community online is possible through the support of our sustainers.

College Students: In this week’s advice, Imam al Ghazali touches on a commonly misunderstood concept: that sometimes, we are ready and capable to ask certain questions, and sometimes we have a little ways to go before we can ask certain questions.In this discussion, Imam al Ghazali delicately presents the idea that the mind matures, that a persons thoughts and beliefs can ripen, and that in that process things that once would strain and even break a person’s beliefs can be handled properly.⁠⁠What are the signs of a mature mind and heart? How do we know what we’re capable of handling and what we can’t?⁠Every program we’re able to produce and upload for our community online is possible through the support of our sustainers.
