Al-Ghazali
Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali was a prominent Islamic theologian, philosopher, and mystic of the 11th century. Known as 'Hujjat al-Islam' (The Proof of Islam), he played a significant role in reconciling Islamic faith with Greek philosophy. His works, particularly 'Ihya Ulum al-Din' (Revival of the Religious Sciences), emphasize the importance of spiritual and ethical living in Islam. Al-Ghazali's influence extends beyond theology into areas such as psychology and jurisprudence, making him one of the most respected scholars in the Islamic tradition. His writings continue to inspire and guide Muslim thought to this day.
