Tauba (Repentance) by Imam Al-Ghazali – Translated by Maulana Fazlul Karim

Description

Tauba (Repentance) by Imam Al-Ghazali

Every believer slips, and every believer is invited to return to Allah. Tauba (Repentance) brings Imam Al-Ghazali’s teaching on that return to English readers in a translation by Al-Haj Maulana Fazlul Karim.
