The Faith and Practice of Al-Ghazali (Oneworld Classics in Religious Studies)

About the Book: The Faith and Practice of Al-Ghazali (Oneworld Classics in Religious Studies)

Al-Ghazali was one of the great Muslim theologians. In this book the author provides a translation of some of his works, including his spiritual autobiography. Al-Ghazalis description of his own emergence from scepticism anticipates the philosophical method of systematic doubt employed by Descartes. Another work translated here sets out Al-Ghazalis ideal of how a religious person should order his life from hour to hour and day to day.
