The Book of worldly usages is the second book of Imam

eating and drinking, marriage, earnings and trade, lawful and
unlawful earnings, duties towards Muslims, neighbours,
servants and slaves, harms and benefits of seclusion and society,
journey, music, enjoining good and forbidding evil and character
and conduct of the Holy Prophet.
A literal translation is avoided in order to omit the
unnecessary arguments of sects and things prevailing in the
world and to omit the sayings of less important sages. But no
verse of the Quran or saying of Prophet has been omitted in this
book.

and Sunnah and the spirit in which the Thya was written by
Hiujatual Islam (the Proof of Islam), a title received by Imam
Gazzali end about which it has been said "If all the books of Islam
were destroyed, it would be but a slight loss if only the Ihya of
Gazzali were preserved”.
