Imam Ghazali
Al-Ghazali is generally acclaimed as the
most influential thinker of the Classical period of Islam, in
his autobiography The Deliverance from Error, the Imam
describes his education and his intellectual crisis, which left him so
paralysed by doubt that he he gave up his academic pursuits and
worldly interests and became a wandering ascetic. This was a process (period)
of mystical transformation. Later, he resumed his teaching duties, but again
left these. An era of solitary life, devoted to contemplation and writing then
ensued, which led to the authorship of a number of everlasting books (Many
of which have been translated in English)
Imam al-Ghazzali's life was spent in self-sacrificing service of God and his fellowmen. He left behind him a fine example for all men to follow. He died in 505 AH For Imam Ghazali's Autobiography
