"Not of Islam" addresses important intellectual and preaching issues, shedding light on the customs, traditions, and practices that have been associated with the Islamic religion throughout history, but are not part of its essence or origins. In this valuable work, Sheikh al-Ghazali explains that Islam is a pure religion that rejects superstition, stagnation, and fanaticism. He emphasizes that religion came to lead humanity toward progress, work, and creativity, not to be a burden or a prison.
The book contains in-depth articles that discuss the intellectual and social deviations that have caused the decline of the Ummah, demonstrating that Islam is innocent of the false practices that people attribute to it out of ignorance or imitation. It also focuses on highlighting the moderation of Islam, warning against both excess and negligence, and calling for adherence to the Holy Quran and the Sunnah with a balanced and renewed understanding.

He authored dozens of books that have enriched the Arab and Islamic library, most notably: Fiqh al-Seerah (The Jurisprudence of the Biography), Renew Your Life (Renew Your Life), Ma' Allah (With God), and "It Is Not from Islam." He was known for his bold and realistic style, and his ability to combine strong arguments with beautiful writing, which made him accessible to a wide range of readers and researchers.
