Revival of Religious Sciences
The "Revival of Religious Sciences" refers to a significant intellectual movement within Islamic thought, primarily associated with the works of Abu Hamid al-Ghazali in the 11th century. This movement aimed to reconcile Islamic teachings with philosophical inquiry, emphasizing the importance of both faith and reason in understanding religious practices and beliefs.
Al-Ghazali's influential book, Ihya Ulum al-Din (Revival of the Religious Sciences), systematically addressed various aspects of Islamic life, including ethics, spirituality, and law. His work sought to renew the understanding of Islam by integrating traditional teachings with contemporary issues, ultimately fostering a deeper connection between individuals and their faith.
