Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali
Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali was a prominent Islamic philosopher, theologian, and mystic born in 1058 in Persia. He is best known for his works on Islamic philosophy and his efforts to reconcile Islam with Greek philosophy. His most famous book, The Incoherence of the Philosophers, critiques the rationalist philosophers of his time and emphasizes the importance of faith and spirituality.
Al-Ghazali's influence extended beyond philosophy; he also contributed significantly to Sufism, the mystical branch of Islam. His writings, including The Revival of the Religious Sciences, explore ethics, spirituality, and the inner dimensions of faith, making him a key figure in both Islamic thought and the broader history of philosophy.
