Sister Virginia Gray Henry is the Director of Fons Vitae books, a non-profit academic publishing house which focuses on translating the great classical texts of Islamic Spirituality. She co-founded the Ghazali Children's Project with Sheikh Hamza Yusuf more than a decade ago. 

Ghazali Children's Project: https://ghazalichildren.org/

Ghazali books: https://ghazalichildren.org/books/

Fons Vitae Publishing https://fonsvitae.com/

------

The Ghazali Children’s Project seeks to educate children spiritually & transform their characters by showing the inner spiritually transformative meaning behind the outer aspects of Islam. The Project aims to help support entire communities of Muslim parents, teachers, and children in realizing how to live by and embody the noble Prophetic character through self-observation and correction.

The Fons Vitae Ghazali Children’s Series provides authentic quality Tarbiyah guidance for children of all ages at a time when their values are being formed. Imam al-Ghazali’s systematic approach for developing virtuous character is distilled and simplified and provided in an educational package which includes beautifully produced children’s books, and original texts for parents and teachers. These materials offer a creative, enjoyable and spiritual supplement or alternative to standard Islamic Studies curricula with a strong focus on the purification of the heart.

The aim of the Ghazali Children’s Project is to support children:

• in their ability to recognize and maintain their innate human dignity.

• in realizing nobility of character through imitation of the Prophetic qualities realized by understanding, loving, and practicing the inner dimensions of all outward acts – to stop simply just “going through the motions”.

• in becoming aware of their True Selves and in identifying with this pure aspect of their being rather than with the lower, false, egoic and separative nature which is centered on itself [al-nafs alammara].

• in becoming self-observant and self-correcting.

• in living life with humility and in service.

Mustafa Akyol Reopening Muslim Minds: A Return to Reason, Freedom, and Tolerance, Reviewed by Abdullah bin Hamid Ali https://www.pdcnet.org/8525737F00583519/file/F26DD90DDA7802C8852588440046F0C7/$FILE/islamicphil_2021_0012_0000_0087_0113.pdf

Mustafa Akyol's Response to Abdullah Ali's Critique of "Reopening Muslim Minds" https://www.academia.edu/79308906/Mustafa_Akyols_Response_to_Abdullah_Alis_Critique_of_Reopening_Muslim_Minds_

I discuss surah 4 verse 157 in its context and how its interpretation has been the subject of vigorous debate among Muslims for centuries.

I read from 'The Crucifixion and the Qur'an: A Study in the History of Muslim Thought' by Todd Lawson https://www.amazon.co.uk/Crucifixion-...

A new translation of 4:157 says:

and for boasting, “We killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of Allah.” But they neither killed nor crucified him—it was only made to appear so. Even those who argue for this ˹crucifixion˺ are in doubt. They have no knowledge whatsoever—only making assumptions. They certainly did not kill him.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran https://quran.com/4/157
