The theory of happiness between Al-Ghazali and Ibn Taymiyah

Happiness is a sought-after goal for every human being, but people differ in its concept and reality, and the differences in orientations, ideas, and visions have an impact on the expansion of this disagreement. There is no doubt that every theorization of happiness is influenced by a person's belief in God, the afterlife, the scriptures, the prophets, fate, and other fundamental issues. The more one denies any of these, the more negatively it reflects on their view of happiness. This booklet discusses the concept of happiness among two scholars of Islamic thought with two different directions, who are the most prominent in Islamic thought. The search for happiness, defining its meanings, and achieving it are among the most prominent matters that humans seek in every time and place. Therefore, the idea of this book came about, which examines the theory of happiness among two great scholars and prominent figures of Islamic thought, the most influential and widespread, namely the proof of Islam Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali and Sheikh Islam Ibn Taymiyah, may Allah have mercy on them. This study is considered a response to claims that the heritage of Muslims is devoid of moral thought.
