Imam al-Ghazali: A Concise Life

Imam al-Ghazali: A Concise Life

Imam al-Ghazali: A Concise Life

3rd September 2015 by Edoardo Albert

Imam Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali is a towering figure in Islam today. But did you know that during his lifetime he was a scholar, a saint and a penniless wanderer? In this short biography you will discover how Al-Ghazali rose from his humble background as a fatherless young boy from a small town, to become a successful student, a great teacher and the most famous Islamic thinker of his time. It also reveals why, after years of success, he left behind his prestigious position and his family, and became a penniless traveller trying to experience the peace of a content inner life.

“Al-Ghazali is a fascinating figure, and even a short biography like this reveals his importance in the history of Islamic thought.”
