Some Fundamental Aspects Of Imam Ghazzali's Thought

Al-Ghazali is generally acclaimed as the most influential thinker of the Classical period of Islam. In his autobiography The Deliverance from Error, the Imam describes his education and his intellectual crisis, which left him so paralysed by doubt that he gave up his academic pursuits and worldly interests and became a wandering ascetic. This was a process (period) of mystical transformation. Later, he resumed his teaching duties, but again left these. An era of solitary life, devoted to contemplation and writing then ensued, which led to the authorship of a number of everlasting books. The present book focuses on some of the fundamental aspects of Ghazzali's thought.
