Dear brother dont listen to this guy. Every content u have seen of Islam is sunni islam. If u want to look into shia islam i recommend u to see anti-majos.com, sunnah discourse and Ebn Hussein. Ebn Hussein / Hassan shemrani is an ex shia. I am too. Shiism has nothing to do with islam. It is distorted zoroastrianism which was also influenced by judaism, hinduism and christianity. I have posted 1 vdo in my channel where a shia Ayatollah (The highest shia priest) admits it.
Just look at this ignorant guy. Look my brother if you wanna open your horizon in Islam, please read wide okay! Don't let that guy deceive you. Don't read one sided. Read both sides and be informed yourself. Thank me later.
Actually, he didn't. Both Ghazali and Descartes seem to have been influenced by Galen. See Stephen Menn, "The Discourse on the Method and the Tradition of Intellectual Autobiography," Jon Miller & Brad Inwood (eds.), Hellenistic and Early Modern Philosophy. Cambridge University Press (2003).
Dude, your Arabic pronunciation is out of this world.

Excellent video. Just subscribed. In addition to Damascus and Mecca, Al-Ghazali also spent time in Jersualem. The structure where he lived in Jerusalem by the Golden Gate within the Al Aqsa complex still exists. I also, liked your coverage of the Naqshbandia in the Xinjiang video on Al Muqaddimah's channel. Thank you.
Another excellent video on this channel. The video on Ibn Rushd was also first-rate. It seems that Al Ghazali was at least partially wrestling with an intellectual problem which Descartes, Schelling and Hegel all later wrestled with, and which even G. K. Chesterton writes about - namely, the point that our belief in the epistemic authority of reason cannot be justified by reason itself. That is to say, reason cannot provide the epistemological grounds for its own justification, as this would involve a circular argument. The belief in reason, in itself, requires a leap of faith. Whereas Descartes attempts to solve this problem with his (in)famous "Cartesian circle," the young Schelling and the young Hegel, while studying together at Tubingen, finally arrived at the position that our commitment to reason ultimately had to be grounded in our prior commitment to something partially aesthetic - that is, that reason was simply an integral part of an overall dignified life. But Al Ghazali's solution is more similar to Descartes - that grounding our belief in reason can be achieved only through our prior faith in some transcendental guarantor of the sanctity of reason..... But even Kant arrived at a position which had similarities to this, with his "practical postulate" argument in ""The Critique of Pure Reason." In other words, we see echoes of Al Ghazali's attempts to wrestle with this problem in the works of many great European enlightenment philosophers. So Al Ghazali influenced even the greats of the European enlightenment, the supposed "champions of Reason," and yet he is still spuriously derided as an "enemy of reason."
Your channel makes me very happy. And it makes me hopeful to see that there is a demand for this knowledge given the feverish requests for new videos in the comments. I figured I'd make one myself. You've mentioned William Chittick a number of times. His wife Sachiko Murata is an excellent scholar as well. Her book "Chinese Gleams of Sufi" Light is a one of a kind work exploring the writings of the Chinese Muslim scholars Wang-tai Yu and Liu Chih. As a Muslim and a fan of Chinese philosophy I can say it was one of the most mind expanding book I've ever read. A video on that subject would be a treasure to the world. Also anything on Henry Corbin would be a public service to modern Muslims especially in the West. Hoping you see the response to your videos as support and enthusiasm, and not as pressure. You're doing something that is very good. Take your time, take care and thank you. Assalamualaikum
I love Murata's book! A video on the topic of Sufism in China, primarily based on her work, is already on my to-do list ;) Great suggestion indeed, though! And thank you very much for your support! Wa'aleikum salam
Man!! You did a wonderful work and thank you so much. I just happened to come across this video and your channel, and I already say, I’ll keep coming back to it. Keep up the good work, brother 🙏
Great video as always. Really did an excellent job of summarising the controversy around his reputation (I also found the Neil deGrasse Tyson video to be rather absurd when I first watched it). Would love to see a video going into more detail about his works such as the reviver of religious sciences in particular. Every time I open that book I learn something new. Very revolutionary approach in terms of writing style, variety of opinions within the same text and use of logic and reason to decide upon the "correct" ruling.
Thanks for this brief accurate introduction to the life and teaching of a great scholar, the "reviver of religious sciences in Islam" , and as you said he is almost a symbol for "Integrity and Humbleness" of a great thinker; Abo-Hamid al-Ghazali. Well done.
one of the most brilliant scholars of all time , in his book (tahafut al falasifa) he literally describes the theory of relativity using nothing but pure logics
A person who called others Kafir can't be respected. Calling someone Kafir for thinking means, sentencing them to death . Also, I think the Mongol invasion till today is not discussed honestly by Muslims. What about the Islamic invasion of other cultures and civilizations and the total destruction of them.in some cases and the continued enslavement of the Turko Mingols in Central Asia etc. About 8 centuries has passed. What has the Muslim world to offer today in terms of science and thinking? Why the Muslim world can't get out of Takfiring each other even today ? Something must be wrong from within. But we have been looking for scapegoats for 8 centuries.
i really appreciate the modesty that you have, you always say people a lot smarter than me or similar things, its easy to see that you practise what you preach or that you understand it on the being level not just intelectually, and there may be people that know more than you but you have the most complete videos, you show yourself, pictures, you go through history and dont go heavy on details so its not boring and then we have the overview of philosophy and texts , its just amazing how well it is made, really good job, looking forward to support the channel!
Another awesome video!!! Your mention of the "Ihya" reminded me of one of my favorite manuals of fiqh I've read over the years. Another work I love is Mishkat al-Anwar.
Hello, I like the way you explain the subject, an in-depth and serious and very interesting explanation, hope to hear more explanations about the final teachings of Sufi Islam, thank you.
Excellent video, i think you really made a great refutation of people like mr tison. in general i thjnk people often talk about Islam and Islamic figures from a very ignorant closed minded perspective. And this includes many Muslims sadly. It's incredibly complex yet people seem to fix themselves on simplifying things.
@@letsomethingshine we view pre-Islamic Arabia the way we should, we are proud of our history, poetry, ancestry, and language. We are also proud that our forefathers have rejected paganism when confronted with the truth. We know how stubborn they were and how proud they were of Lat, Uzza, Manaf, Shams, Baal, El, and Hubal. We know how ancient that religion was and how hard was it for them to just ditch it all when confronted with the truth. and we don't know anything about ancient India because we are not Indians, that's why we don't treat Indian history in any particular manner, positive or negative.
@@Ahmed-ef6ss yah we despise paganism, we thank Allah for leading us from darkness to light. By which standard is the pagan Arabia better than Islamic Arabia?
Well done, very good job! Ghazali is one of my favourite scholar I read couple books of him. His wisdom and the way he explain complex thoughts are remarkable for his period. I totally agree with what you said. When I don’t feel good I read the « Marvels of the heart » then I feel even better ! This world needs a wise man like him because this society isn’t getting wiser. Peace and love 🙏🌸🌸🌸
As you concluded, admitting to himself and transforming from within shows the spiritual integrity that is required. Especially for philosophers, putting the intellect below intuition (as Ibn 'Arabi says about the mystic way) is a form of ego harakiri.
In fact, I am impressed by the amount of impartiality and professionalism in discussing a controversial figure such as Al-Ghazali and also by your attempt to pronounce Arabic terms in the correct way as possible, and I appreciate this for something as well.
Jazakallah for your just work. Your videos had cured me a lot on some speculations and clear my views on Islamic Theology. Al Ghazali I held a view of being part of those Islamic Scholars whose teaching killed science, philosophy, and quest for truth. But your submission help me cured such ignorance.
You did a great job to clear Ghazali's name. May your research for this topic will lead you to have a place in gardens of Eden. I have only one humble addition. In those Nizamiye Medreses's and before some twisted minds of Mutazilahs propogated a new approach to İslamic sciences. They said ", mistakes (without evrn considering aims and intentions) are sin so making mistakes about religious matters was the worst case of scenario so even worse is making a mistake in public declaration of religion's rules(fatwas) is the worst of worst" these ideologues were trying to discourage and prevent religious schoolars and Islamic law from interfering political matters expecially legislation so rulers of that time would be more free to act as they will even getting out of the boundaries of Sharia. Al Ghazali was attacking philosophers with these intention to protect intellectual development of Islamic world. He attacked only to their authority so people can act more engaging against them instead of accepting their every claim as if they were divine truths. Murabits and Muvahhids of Northern Africa (berbers) were great followers of Ghazali and under their rule in Andolusia intellectual works flourished like nowhere else on earth till modern times. However people with clear ignorance are condemning al Ghazali for what supposed protectors of rationality and reason, Mutazilahs crimes who tried to fight them for this particular matter in the first place. God knows best hope we can learn better with his help.
Ghazali has a special place in my heart, along with Augustine, because learning about these two figures from my friends who were telling me about the projects they made about them in university really struck in me an interest in religion
I can so relate to his journey. The bits near the end about the "humility" can be seen more commonly in what today is called "Shadow Work". It's pretty common now for people on the Spiritual path. No matter what tradition. It can sound pretty heroic for folks who are still trying to define "The Truth". Which is why it was the next step after that bubble popped for him. But once it pops, it's really not that difficult to realize that the self we've spent our whole life building and developing up to that point is a flimsy cardboard shack that can't possibly shelter the God who looks for worthy temples to rest His presence within. Even - or especially - if we've gone thru the finest schooling and training available. All we're doing down here is "playing" at the religious life. But in reality our mixed nature keeps us forever separate from God. Not until the cardboard shack is abandoned are we even available for The Miracle to take place.
Cop out....if god created the whole damn thing, why would he put us in such a jeopardy to find the truth.is this a hide and seek game .he is playing with us.Idea of recognizing "self" as am impediment to reality is absurd.
Tazkiyya, the Islamic process of "purifying the heart" and adorning it with pure qualities. The goal is to ultimately subdue, have under complete control all desires including identity itself so one may have ease in annihilating and hence experience the completely Transcendant Divine Presence, Face of Allah beyond all conceptualization.
Thank you for your great content. Wish I could share some of the Persian qualities of life that imam Qazali & most of mystics of Iranshahr tried to explain like : " shahadat - Qana'at - Kefayat " so everyone could understand the way of Irani lifestyle better and as you know most of these kind of stuff are categorized in "Shar'e" not even Philosophy!
Excellent presentation. Kudos to Filip Holm. Maimonides was aware of Al-Ghazali and his works. It would be fun to invite ten of the world's greatest philosophers of all time to a Tent of Meeting for a week of discussion about many important questions and issues. These two would definitely be on the list.
There is a tradition (Hadith) with Salman Farsi present with the Beloved of Allah. Paraphrasing The Prophet Sallalahu Aleyhiwasalam said that if the Deen was in the Plaides (the stars) people like him would bring it down to earth meaning explain it..this is accepted to either mean Imam Abu Hanifa or Imam Ghazali
As an engineer who also has an interest in philosophy, religion, and cosmology I have been a great fan of Al Ghazali and his awareness of the limitations of relying only on rational and scientific thought, which dominates Western thought today.
Thank you for this video. I was unfortunately one of those who jumped on the bandwagon mainstream belief that Al-Ghazali was to blame for the decline of Islamic science. Seems like I have a lot to study. Amazing video and channel! Thank you and keep up the good work!
How is he not to blame? People like him are the reason the Islamic world has been lagging behind the West for almost 1000 years, while they were ahead in his lifetime
Wonderful topic. The Rational and skepticism aspect of Al Ghazali is actually cure me from the nonsense and delusional stuff by Ibnu Arabi in your another video. Thank you so much
The world religions always connect everything to G-d and talk of balance. Science without the balance of religion leads to materialism and destruction and religion without the balance of science leads to superstition and fanaticism . And as scientist Max Planx said ,and I quote " Any religion that is not the cause of love and unity IS NO RELIGION.
Magnificent content. After seeing this video and a few others on islam, i can say your research and education is mostly unbiased and comprehensive. Also, your pronunciation is perfect, coming from an Arabic speaker.
What you dont mention, is when Imam al Ghazali goes to Damascus after his crisis, he actually goes to sweep the floors of the mosque! This is equivalent today to someone who is a head lecturer at Harvard becoming a Janitor at a Cathedral without telling anyone! This is the polishing of the heart. This is the great Imam al Ghazali ❤️ On one of his journeys, a thief steals his books and imam al Ghazali begs him not to take his books, anything but that. The thief asks why? And Ghazali says: its all my life’s knowledge, I have been collecting it for years. The Thief laughs and says: “what kind of knowledge is it, if someone like me can just take it.” Ghazali said he knew that Allah had made the man say that, and ever since then he memorised everything he wrote.
@BoSa yes exactly. He brought us the Sufi science of criticising the self and purifying the heart. Which we are oh so in need of today. I wish he didn’t down play this so much.
this video compelled me to subscribe and rush to my own library to find the unread copy of ihya .. - alas I've misplaced it - i didnt read it at the time because i thought it was steeped in the traditional orthodox interpretation, this video however, has managed to shame me in not appreciating and giving the man his due - many thanks and congratulations on a great effort.
Ghazali accomplished something that many Muslims struggle to achieve today. His sincere and unyielding quest for truth led him to the realization that without actually witnessing and experiencing the light of God, rather than merely speaking of it, one's existence would be unfulfilled. Ghazali's humility allowed him to accept guidance from an illiterate Sufi mystic, An-Nassaj, whose heart emanated divine light onto his disciples. Fortunately, Sufism continues to thrive in modern times. I am deeply grateful to my own Shaykh, Sidi Mohamed Faouzi al-Karkari Quddisa Sirruh, for opening the door to heavenly light for me and my fellow disciples. Through our practices, we consistently witness this divine light, which allows us to ascend to the heavens and know our Lord by seeing Him, rather than relying solely on intellectual understanding. I would recommend you all read his amazing books that have been expertly translated by Professor Yousef Casewit from the University of Chicago.
Not only did Al-Ghazali speak about the divine light, but many Sufi masters have also invoked this subject, such as Sidi Ahmed Al Alawi and Sidi Abd Al Kader Al Jilani. In fact, it's all in the first pillar of Islam (Ash-Shahada): "I bear witness that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is his Messenger." Some truly witness this, while others simply say it by words.
Shahada: pillar of Islam : (GOD ALONE IS WORTHY OF WORSHIP . ) Literally : it says : NONE WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT GOD . And Mohammad is His servant and messenger. (Messengers like him have come in the past , with the same message as that of Mohammad . Mohammad alone was successful in making it a UNIVERSAL MESSAGE A UNIVERSAL GOD AND A UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD OF MAN ) How sweet is the messenger and the message . Read Quran from internet or from a hard copy to know more about his message .A message of peace confirming the messages of all the previous messengers of God Adam , Noah , Abrahin Solomon , Joseph , Isac,Ishmael , Moses ,and Jesus son of Mary .
Medieval, and specifically Islamic medieval philosophers is a big of a gap in my knowledge and your channel is a great resource to get in to the subject.
Love your videos!!! Just discovered your channel now I am binging hard! Thank you for creating content that I love and that RUclips sometimes lacks from academic view!
@ 1:30 you have a picture of Shaykh Amadou Bamba, founder of the Muridiyyah in West Africa. It would be good to do a presentation on him also. He was treated very badly by the French.
It is interesting how Decartes and Ghazali came to the same conclusion even though they lived during different time periods and different places.🤔 Surely Decartes had read Ghazali's work because one can clearly see the similarity between these to intellectuals in Decartes, Meditations on first philosophy. Once again a great video of a great historical figure. Tack så mycket 🙏!
Very interesting character his Excellence Al Ghazali. My perspective every human being should follow his excellence by gaining knowledge and undergoing transformation and evolve as pure Human. Indeed a delighted one. Thank you Mr. Philip.

Chesterton writes about - namely, the point that our belief in the epistemic authority of reason cannot be justified by reason itself. That is to say, reason cannot provide the epistemological grounds for its own justification, as this would involve a circular argument. The belief in reason, in itself, requires a leap of faith. Whereas Descartes attempts to solve this problem with his (in)famous "Cartesian circle," the young Schelling and the young Hegel, while studying together at Tubingen, finally arrived at the position that our commitment to reason ultimately had to be grounded in our prior commitment to something partially aesthetic
- that is, that reason was simply an integral part of an overall dignified life.
But Al Ghazali's solution is more similar to Descartes - that grounding our belief in reason can be achieved only through our prior faith in some transcendental guarantor of the sanctity of reason.....
But even Kant arrived at a position which had similarities to this, with his "practical postulate" argument in ""The Critique of Pure Reason."
In other words, we see echoes of Al Ghazali's attempts to wrestle with this problem in the works of many great European enlightenment philosophers. So Al Ghazali influenced even the greats of the European enlightenment, the supposed "champions of Reason," and yet he is still spuriously derided as an "enemy of reason."
Transcendental.
Postulate.
Spurious
Derided
The only speaker that I found who did justice to the biography of Imam Al Ghazali. Thank you brother
Thanks for reviving the life of Hujjat ul Islam. Even though he intellectually fought our Batiny Doctrine we Respect and read his works.
are you a batiniy? :P

Your channel makes me very happy. And it makes me hopeful to see that there is a demand for this knowledge given the feverish requests for new videos in the comments.
I figured I'd make one myself. You've mentioned William Chittick a number of times. His wife Sachiko Murata is an excellent scholar as well. Her book "Chinese Gleams of Sufi" Light is a one of a kind work exploring the writings of the Chinese Muslim scholars Wang-tai Yu and Liu Chih. As a Muslim and a fan of Chinese philosophy I can say it was one of the most mind expanding book I've ever read. A video on that subject would be a treasure to the world. Also anything on Henry Corbin would be a public service to modern Muslims especially in the West.
Hoping you see the response to your videos as support and enthusiasm, and not as pressure. You're doing something that is very good. Take your time, take care and thank you.
Assalamualaikum
I love Murata's book! A video on the topic of Sufism in China, primarily based on her work, is already on my to-do list ;) Great suggestion indeed, though!
And thank you very much for your support!

Great video as always. Really did an excellent job of summarising the controversy around his reputation (I also found the Neil deGrasse Tyson video to be rather absurd when I first watched it). Would love to see a video going into more detail about his works such as the reviver of religious sciences in particular. Every time I open that book I learn something new. Very revolutionary approach in terms of writing style, variety of opinions within the same text and use of logic and reason to decide upon the "correct" ruling.
This is one of the best talk about the history about knowledge thank you, greats from HOlland.
Thank you.This prepared me to learn more.
You are accessible without being pedantic and its very much appreciated. Keep up the amazing videos!
Thanks for this brief accurate introduction to the life and teaching of a great scholar, the "reviver of religious sciences in Islam" , and as you said he is almost a symbol for "Integrity and Humbleness" of a great thinker; Abo-Hamid al-Ghazali. Well done.
one of the most brilliant scholars of all time , in his book (tahafut al falasifa) he literally describes the theory of relativity using nothing but pure logics
how ?
A person who called others Kafir can't be respected. Calling someone Kafir for thinking means, sentencing them to death .
Also, I think the Mongol invasion till today is not discussed honestly by Muslims. What about the Islamic invasion of other cultures and civilizations and the total destruction of them.in some cases and the continued enslavement of the Turko Mingols in Central Asia etc.
About 8 centuries has passed. What has the Muslim world to offer today in terms of science and thinking? Why the Muslim world can't get out of Takfiring each other even today ? Something must be wrong from within. But we have been looking for scapegoats for 8 centuries.
Al-gazali is mystical, he gave poison to cap out critical thinking, reasoning. Read ayn rand's philosophy - Objectivism.
that book is a treasure of knowledge, I’m legit thankful it survived the great burning of Baghdad’s libraries by the Mongols
Al Ghazali would be rolling his eyes at this comment
i really appreciate the modesty that you have, you always say people a lot smarter than me or similar things, its easy to see that you practise what you preach or that you understand it on the being level not just intelectually, and there may be people that know more than you but you have the most complete videos, you show yourself, pictures, you go through history and dont go heavy on details so its not boring and then we have the overview of philosophy and texts , its just amazing how well it is made, really good job, looking forward to support the channel!
Another awesome video!!! Your mention of the "Ihya" reminded me of one of my favorite manuals of fiqh I've read over the years. Another work I love is Mishkat al-Anwar.
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. Much love.
Hello, I like the way you explain the subject, an in-depth and serious and very interesting explanation, hope to hear more explanations about the final teachings of Sufi Islam, thank you.

I looove your video style. Quickly becoming one of my favorite channels
Excellent video, i think you really made a great refutation of people like mr tison. in general i thjnk people often talk about Islam and Islamic figures from a very ignorant closed minded perspective. And this includes many Muslims sadly. It's incredibly complex yet people seem to fix themselves on simplifying things.
Sort of how Muslims treat pre-Islamic Arabia or ancient India. Etc. Humans prefer easy convinience over hard truths.
@@letsomethingshine well said. Pre-islamic and other pagan cultures are demonised by Islamic scriptures and practitioners.
@@letsomethingshine we view pre-Islamic Arabia the way we should, we are proud of our history, poetry, ancestry, and language. We are also proud that our forefathers have rejected paganism when confronted with the truth. We know how stubborn they were and how proud they were of Lat, Uzza, Manaf, Shams, Baal, El, and Hubal. We know how ancient that religion was and how hard was it for them to just ditch it all when confronted with the truth.
and we don't know anything about ancient India because we are not Indians, that's why we don't treat Indian history in any particular manner, positive or negative.
@@MohdHilalwell said. ❤
@@Ahmed-ef6ss yah we despise paganism, we thank Allah for leading us from darkness to light. By which standard is the pagan Arabia better than Islamic Arabia?
Well done, very good job! Ghazali is one of my favourite scholar I read couple books of him. His wisdom and the way he explain complex thoughts are remarkable for his period. I totally agree with what you said. When I don’t feel good I read the « Marvels of the heart » then I feel even better ! This world needs a wise man like him because this society isn’t getting wiser. Peace and love 🙏🌸🌸🌸
This must be one of the most nuanced and important videos about Al-Ghazali, well done👍🏼
Alhamdulilah.... May Allah increase your knowledge. May Allah cover you and your family with His Majestic Mercy and Compassion.
❤ this episode. Brilliant as always! This channel is becoming a better version of wiki for me. ❤
As you concluded, admitting to himself and transforming from within shows the spiritual integrity that is required. Especially for philosophers, putting the intellect below intuition (as Ibn 'Arabi says about the mystic way) is a form of ego harakiri.
Excellent video!
May God be pleased with Him. Amen. I truly love Imam Al-Ghazali so much.
Peace. Your Builds are dope. Still going thru your videos.
Greats from Holland, its was amazing to listen the knowledge thank you
I appreciate you pronouncing the Arabic words.
It’s really great how well you speak of all of this. U don’t condemn and you don’t take sides.. 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
In fact, I am impressed by the amount of impartiality and professionalism in discussing a controversial figure such as Al-Ghazali and also by your attempt to pronounce Arabic terms in the correct way as possible, and I appreciate this for something as well.
Jazakallah for your just work. Your videos had cured me a lot on some speculations and clear my views on Islamic Theology. Al Ghazali I held a view of being part of those Islamic Scholars whose teaching killed science, philosophy, and quest for truth. But your submission help me cured such ignorance.
Wow.. Thank you for this great summary. Loved it.
You did a great job to clear Ghazali's name. May your research for this topic will lead you to have a place in gardens of Eden.
I have only one humble addition. In those Nizamiye Medreses's and before some twisted minds of Mutazilahs propogated a new approach to İslamic sciences.
They said ", mistakes (without evrn considering aims and intentions) are sin so making mistakes about religious matters was the worst case of scenario so even worse is making a mistake in public declaration of religion's rules(fatwas) is the worst of worst" these ideologues were trying to discourage and prevent religious schoolars and Islamic law from interfering political matters expecially legislation so rulers of that time would be more free to act as they will even getting out of the boundaries of Sharia. Al Ghazali was attacking philosophers with these intention to protect intellectual development of Islamic world. He attacked only to their authority so people can act more engaging against them instead of accepting their every claim as if they were divine truths. Murabits and Muvahhids of Northern Africa (berbers) were great followers of Ghazali and under their rule in Andolusia intellectual works flourished like nowhere else on earth till modern times. However people with clear ignorance are condemning al Ghazali for what supposed protectors of rationality and reason, Mutazilahs crimes who tried to fight them for this particular matter in the first place.
God knows best hope we can learn better with his help.
Love your teaching!! Appreciate spreading the history 🙏🏽
Excellent presentation on Al Ghazali... unbiased and well researched. A delight to view
If it wasn't for Al-Ghazali we wouldn't have Descartes or even Spinoza.
And what sages might Al-Ghazali have studied without giving too much credence to as well?
@@letsomethingshine Sorry about this but can you explain your comment?
@@letsomethingshine well he did give credit to the quran and hadith
Thanks for the nice joke
😅
Average no-culture indian being aware of the lowest basics of history and philosophy
Ghazali has a special place in my heart, along with Augustine, because learning about these two figures from my friends who were telling me about the projects they made about them in university really struck in me an interest in religion
I can so relate to his journey.
The bits near the end about the "humility" can be seen more commonly in what today is called "Shadow Work". It's pretty common now for people on the Spiritual path. No matter what tradition.
It can sound pretty heroic for folks who are still trying to define "The Truth". Which is why it was the next step after that bubble popped for him. But once it pops, it's really not that difficult to realize that the self we've spent our whole life building and developing up to that point is a flimsy cardboard shack that can't possibly shelter the God who looks for worthy temples to rest His presence within. Even - or especially - if we've gone thru the finest schooling and training available. All we're doing down here is "playing" at the religious life. But in reality our mixed nature keeps us forever separate from God.
Not until the cardboard shack is abandoned are we even available for The Miracle to take place.
Cop out....if god created the whole damn thing, why would he put us in such a jeopardy to find the truth.is this a hide and seek game .he is playing with us.Idea of recognizing "self" as am impediment to reality is absurd.
@@keramatebrahimi943
Maybe go complain to one of the many mystics about it. Why pick on me? I'm not saying anything new or original.
You might not be saying anything new or original, Jennifer, but you’re saying it beautifully. Liked it👌
You'll make a good Sufi if you think as such. 😉
Tazkiyya, the Islamic process of "purifying the heart" and adorning it with pure qualities. The goal is to ultimately subdue, have under complete control all desires including identity itself so one may have ease in annihilating and hence experience the completely Transcendant Divine Presence, Face of Allah beyond all conceptualization.
Fabulous Channel! Humble and knowledgeable. Thank you!
Thank you for your great content. Wish I could share some of the Persian qualities of life that imam Qazali & most of mystics of Iranshahr tried to explain like : " shahadat - Qana'at - Kefayat " so everyone could understand the way of Irani lifestyle better and as you know most of these kind of stuff are categorized in "Shar'e" not even Philosophy!
Excellence, balance and eloquence. May the creator smile upon you for bringing us ever closer to his light.

Maimonides was aware of Al-Ghazali and his works. It would be fun to invite ten of the world's greatest philosophers of all time to a Tent of Meeting for a week of discussion about many important questions and issues. These two would definitely be on the list.
There's definitely something in the water near Tus and Neishaboor. Ferdowsi was also from Tus and is one of the four pillars of Persian literature.

@@ArcanumArcanorum17 true as none Persian I can respect that..
@@tiktokasylum5186 Where are you from?
There is a tradition (Hadith) with Salman Farsi present with the Beloved of Allah. Paraphrasing The Prophet Sallalahu Aleyhiwasalam said that if the Deen was in the Plaides (the stars) people like him would bring it down to earth meaning explain it..this is accepted to either mean Imam Abu Hanifa or Imam Ghazali
As an engineer who also has an interest in philosophy, religion, and cosmology I have been a great fan of Al Ghazali and his awareness of the limitations of relying only on rational and scientific thought, which dominates Western thought today.
Thank you for this video. I was unfortunately one of those who jumped on the bandwagon mainstream belief that Al-Ghazali was to blame for the decline of Islamic science. Seems like I have a lot to study. Amazing video and channel! Thank you and keep up the good work!
How is he not to blame? People like him are the reason the Islamic world has been lagging behind the West for almost 1000 years, while they were ahead in his lifetime
Wonderful topic. The Rational and skepticism aspect of Al Ghazali is actually cure me from the nonsense and delusional stuff by Ibnu Arabi in your another video. Thank you so much
He's my favorite ulama...inspire my whole life
I thank you for the knowledge which I have been able to gather through listening to your videos
Thank you so much for making this video, very interesting. When you have a chance would you create a video on the life and times of Imam Jafar Sadiq
Thank you very much! Your channel is one of the best on RUclips.
Sometimes religious and spiritual teachings connect with biology, zoology, herbology, geography, anthropology, and psychology
@matthew mann Read “Science and Civilization in Islam” by Seyyed Hossein Nasr. He shows the unity of religion and scientific pursuits
The world religions always connect everything to G-d and talk of balance. Science without the balance of religion leads to materialism and destruction and religion without the balance of science leads to superstition and fanaticism . And as scientist Max Planx said ,and I quote " Any religion that is not the cause of love and unity IS NO RELIGION.

Magnificent content. After seeing this video and a few others on islam, i can say your research and education is mostly unbiased and comprehensive. Also, your pronunciation is perfect, coming from an Arabic speaker.
Another great teaching Brother Holm. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
What you dont mention, is when Imam al Ghazali goes to Damascus after his crisis, he actually goes to sweep the floors of the mosque!
This is equivalent today to someone who is a head lecturer at Harvard becoming a Janitor at a Cathedral without telling anyone! This is the polishing of the heart.
This is the great Imam al Ghazali ❤️
On one of his journeys, a thief steals his books and imam al Ghazali begs him not to take his books, anything but that. The thief asks why? And Ghazali says: its all my life’s knowledge, I have been collecting it for years.
The Thief laughs and says: “what kind of knowledge is it, if someone like me can just take it.”
Ghazali said he knew that Allah had made the man say that, and ever since then he memorised everything he wrote.
@BoSa yes exactly. He brought us the Sufi science of criticising the self and purifying the heart. Which we are oh so in need of today. I wish he didn’t down play this so much.
The incident of the Thief actually happens pretty early on I believe. I'm not sure if he had met al-Juwayni as yet.
what an amazing video you made here. thank you so much for your effort.
All Praises Due to Allah SWT and RasoolAllah SAW. Peace and Blessings of Allah be up Imam Al Ghazali Radhiyallahu Anhu!
A channel worth of Turning Notification Bell on.
You cleared a lot of doubts about this great Personality. Thank you.
Salaam.
Maybe a video next on Ibn Rushd and his refutation of Ghazali..?
Yes ibn Rushd was brilliant.
That's the reason why he's so widely praised in the west ... surprise surprise....
this video compelled me to subscribe and rush to my own library to find the unread copy of ihya .. - alas I've misplaced it - i didnt read it at the time because i thought it was steeped in the traditional orthodox interpretation, this video however, has managed to shame me in not appreciating and giving the man his due - many thanks and congratulations on a great effort.
Ghazali accomplished something that many Muslims struggle to achieve today. His sincere and unyielding quest for truth led him to the realization that without actually witnessing and experiencing the light of God, rather than merely speaking of it, one's existence would be unfulfilled. Ghazali's humility allowed him to accept guidance from an illiterate Sufi mystic, An-Nassaj, whose heart emanated divine light onto his disciples.
Fortunately, Sufism continues to thrive in modern times. I am deeply grateful to my own Shaykh, Sidi Mohamed Faouzi al-Karkari Quddisa Sirruh, for opening the door to heavenly light for me and my fellow disciples. Through our practices, we consistently witness this divine light, which allows us to ascend to the heavens and know our Lord by seeing Him, rather than relying solely on intellectual understanding. I would recommend you all read his amazing books that have been expertly translated by Professor Yousef Casewit from the University of Chicago.
Very well put!
Not only did Al-Ghazali speak about the divine light, but many Sufi masters have also invoked this subject, such as Sidi Ahmed Al Alawi and Sidi Abd Al Kader Al Jilani.
In fact, it's all in the first pillar of Islam (Ash-Shahada): "I bear witness that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is his Messenger." Some truly witness this, while others simply say it by words.
Shahada: pillar of Islam :
(GOD ALONE IS WORTHY OF WORSHIP . )
Literally : it says :
NONE WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT GOD . And Mohammad is His servant and messenger.
(Messengers like him have come in the past , with the same message as that of Mohammad .
Mohammad alone was successful in making it a UNIVERSAL MESSAGE A UNIVERSAL GOD AND A UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD OF MAN )
How sweet is the messenger and the message . Read Quran from internet or from a hard copy to know more about his message .A message of peace confirming the messages of all the previous messengers of God Adam , Noah , Abrahin Solomon , Joseph , Isac,Ishmael , Moses ,and Jesus son of Mary .
Medieval, and specifically Islamic medieval philosophers is a big of a gap in my knowledge and your channel is a great resource to get in to the subject.
Great man you're inspirational

It is interesting how Decartes and Ghazali came to the same conclusion even though they lived during different time periods and different places.🤔
Surely Decartes had read Ghazali's work because one can clearly see the similarity between these to intellectuals in Decartes, Meditations on first philosophy.
Once again a great video of a great historical figure.
