INTRODUCTION TO AL GHAZALI
405 Hijrah 505 Hijrah
Presented by
Khadeijah A. Darwish
Imam Ghazali was named, Muhammad Abu Hamid Al Ghazali. He was and
still is known as "The Proof of Islam". He was born in the city of Tus in the
year 405 and was well known as a great collector of knowledge, who
preached and taught during a time when people were bemused by Greek
philosophy and in need of someone to protect their religion by the removal of
doubts that had been raised as a result of their bemusement.
His father was a poor and pious man who regularly attended Islamic
ceremonies and served its teachers. Despite his restricted circumstances he
always gave as generously as he could to his teachers. He would listen
intently to them, crying, imploring Allah to give him a son and make him a
jurist. Al Hamdulillah, Allah accepted his supplication and through this great
blessing we are able to come closer to our Lord.
