There had been an materialistic disinterest (abstinence from honoring materialism over
spirituality) also
known as Ihsan or Sufism in Islam from the time of Prophet Muhammad himself, and this could easily
be
combined with traditions. From the Ihsanic Sufis or mystics, Al-Ghazali received the
most help with his
personal problems, yet he could also criticize any extravagances. Al-Ghazali was a
great success in
keeping his mysticism in harmony with Islamic tradition and with the performance of the common
religious
duties. When he became a mystic, he did not cease to be a good Muslim any more than he ceased to be
an
Ash‟arite theologian, this speaks to Al-Ghazali‟s balance as a spiritual guide.
What al-Ghazali learned in the years of solitude after he left Baghdad, he tried to set down in his
greatest
work, The Revitalization of the Religious Sciences (Ihya’ `Ulum ad-Din) available soon at
