Al-Ghunya li-Talibi Tariq al-Haqq (Arabic: الغنية لطالبي طريق الحق, lit. 'Sufficient Provision for Seekers of the Path of Truth') or simply Al-Ghunya is a 12th-century Islamic book attributed to Abdul Qadir Gilani. It discusses Islamic worship, creed, ethics, virtuous deeds, and Sufi practices, primarily following the Hanbali school and traditional Sunni theology. The text contains some critical remarks regarding Abu Hanifa, which has led to debate over its authorship, though historical sources generally attribute it to Gilani. The work has been referenced in later Islamic scholarship, particularly within the Hanbali tradition, for its treatment of moral, devotional, and theological topics.
