Author: Edoardo Albert
ISBN: 9781847740304
Publisher: The Islamic Foundation (UK)
A short biography on Imam Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali who is a towering figure in Islam today. But did you know that during his lifetime he was a scholar, a saint and a penniless wanderer?
Imam Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali is a towering figure in Islam today. But did you know that during his lifetime he was a scholar, a saint and a penniless wanderer? In this short biography you will discover how Al-Ghazali rose from his humble background as a fatherless young boy from a small town, to become a successful student, a great teacher and the most famous thinker on Islam of his time. It also reveals why, after years of success, he left behind his prestigious position and his family, and became a penniless traveller trying to experience the peace of a content inner life.
Award-winning author, Edoardo Albert, brings this most extraordinary of Muslims to life for a new generation, demonstrating his enduring influence and importance for Islamic civilization and the wider world. With numerous extracts from Al-Ghazali’s own autobiography carefully rendered into contemporary English this book makes the man many consider to be one the most important Muslims in history accessible to all. Illustrated throughout with photographs, pictures and maps, the rich and diverse world that produced Al-Ghazali is also brought vividly alive.
This book celebrates the life of Al-Ghazali and is being released in conjunction with the 900th year since his passing in December 1111 A.D.
