preliminary
Ihya Ulumuddin or Al-Ihya is a book that discusses the principles and principles in purifying the soul (Tazkiyatun Nafs) which discusses the problem of liver disease, treatment, and educate the heart. This book is the most famous work of Imam Al-Ghazali. It's just that this book has a criticism, that although Imam Ghazali is a scholar but he is not an expert in the field of hadith, so the follow tersantumlah hadiths not found sanadnya, berderajat weak and maudhu. This led to many scholars and hadith scholars who then attempted to examine, sort and re-arrange the takhrij hadith contained in Ihya Ulumuddin. Among the scholars of hadith that recast the hadith books based on Ihya Ulumuddin are Imam Ibn Jauzi and Imam Ibn Qudamah Al-Maqdisi who wrote the book Minhajul Qashidin and his summary (Mukhtasar)
Minhajul Qashidin
The book of Ihya Ulumuddin was then rigorously and reworked by Imam Ibn Jauzi (597 AH) and the result was named Minhajul Qashidin wa Mufidush Sadiqin. Ibnul Jauzi's efforts in reworking the book of Ihya Ulumuddin is considered so important and competent. Because besides Ibnul Jauzi has in common with Imam Al-Ghazali in terms of discipline of mastered science. Imam Ibn Jauzi possesses the superior mastery of the scholars of the hadith, both from the side of riwayah and dirayah; sanad and matannya. The reworking by Ibn Jauzi focuses on re-examining the existing degrees of hadith, then eliminates the hadiths which are maudhu, dhaif and mauquf and then he substitutes with the shahih and hasan theorem so as to obtain a solid book as a handle.
Said Ibn Jauzi on the background and method of composing his book: "Ihya Ulumuddin's book Imam al-Ghazali has some shortcomings that only the experts / ahadith are aware of it (recognize), as in the narrated history to the Prophet but apparently maudhu or not Therefore, I am compiling a book free from this problem, while maintaining the virtue of the original book (Al-Ihya) .In this book I lean only on the original and famous narratives, and I remove or add from the original book (Al-Ihya) what it deems necessary.
Mukhtasar Minhajul Qashidin
The Book of Minhajul Qasidin is a book that is quite thick, so maybe not everybody wants and is able to use it well. Then the book was made summarized by Imam Ibn Qudamah Al-Maqdisi.
When Imam Ibnul Jauzi first focused on the study of his hadiths, this book of mukhtasar in accordance with its name, aims to summarize and make the essence of the previous book to be more concise, orderly, and easily understood. Also added explanations and additional benefits are required. So it becomes an easy book for students and ordinary people to use it.
Ibn Qudama said of the background and method of composing his book: "When I read Ibnul Jauzi's book of Minhajul Qashidin, I feel that this book is very useful for society, so I decided to read it again in order to absorb deeper meaning. for the second time, my admiration for this book grew so much that I found it so structured and I wanted to focus on its important and objective points.To do so, I left behind some of the topics, already widely contained in the famous books. Also I did not arrange it in the order of the original book, then I also add additional necessary notes like hadith
