Confessions Of Al-Ghazali

Confessions of al-Ghazali

by Abū Ḥāmid Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad al-Ghazālī

The Confessions of al-Ghazali is an intellectual autobiography in which the renowned 11th-century Persian theologian and philosopher Abu Hamid al-Ghazali recounts his spiritual journey from skepticism to profound faith. Driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge and a deep-seated yearning for truth, al-Ghazali embarked on a rigorous exploration of various philosophical and religious traditions, including Aristotelian logic, Neoplatonic mysticism, and Islamic jurisprudence. However, despite his vast erudition, he found himself陷入 a profound existential crisis, questioning the foundations of his beliefs and the very nature of reality. In a moment of despair, he abandoned his prestigious academic position and retreated into a life of solitude and contemplation. During this transformative period, al-Ghazali underwent a profound spiritual awakening, rediscovering the transformative power of faith and the importance of direct personal experience. The Confessions of al-Ghazali is a seminal work in the history of Islamic thought, offering a deeply personal and introspective account of one man's quest for truth and his ultimate realization of the unity of all existence.
