Those posting negative comments are ignorent and don't have any thing substantive to share except the prejudice and reacist bias they have been nurturing. Masha Allah. May Allah bless both of you who are blessed with wisdom and Emman. May Allah bless you and your families.
To understand what Ghazali means by revival “ ihya’a” we need to relate to the social changes of his era and how it was effecting religious principles. The Ghazali’s era is not so much different from ours. People started to believe in facts, and political powers more than religious values and principles, sounds familiar? In the book “Ehya’a Ulum a Deen “he is bringing the religious principles back into people’s life to acheive social and spiritual happines. he is not renewing he is reviving.
A different look. However, Sufism is not the norm. and it is fact after Al-Ghazali’s time, occasionalism seems to have dominated Islam to the point where its civilization was resistant to advances beyond Greek science.
imam ghazali rehmatullah alayh.... 2008 leicester, england..meri life k sabse kharab time aaya tha, kuch samaj me nahi aata tha,tabi mene unki kitab "kimiya e saaadat" parhi thi..is kitab par k muje esa laga ki meri musibat to bahot chhoti he,.. muje bahot taqat mili aur kharab time pass ho gya pata nahi chala..me sab musalmano ko ye kehna chahta hu k jab aap bahot badi problem me ho, kuch samaj me na aaye. tab jarur ye kitab pariye ga..insa allah aapko ek alag hi power milega..
you can see the appeal of Islam to many people as can focus on values which we have perhaps forgotten in our technological age (family friends appreciation of life for its own sake ......perhaps the best and most accurate description of spirituality) , but of course all this does not make it true or even capable of being proved true.
If the man were a philosopher he was not a religious, and conversely. Philosophy must start from a neutral position to be valid, and not from a particular place, such as religion. Presupposition is a logical error.
Historically, Al-Ghazali has been presented as the philosopher that tried to reconcile part of Aristotle's philosophy with the Koran but failed miserably. Now, you are presenting him as a mystic in search of higher levels of spirituality. But this road has already been travelled by many others, religious and areligious, before and after him. Actually, areligious spirituality has a vaster and less contaminated horizon since it is unencumbered by all clatter (irrational, ideological, factual, behavioral, and historical) of a revealed religion.
Where did he try to reconcile ? and where did he fail? Did you read about Asherism ? that's what Al Ghazali was into Did you read about Asheri Atomism? Read about it and tell me in what part of it, it was Aristotelian? In fact Asheri Atomism is almost close to modern Quantum Physics
zazugee true.....ashari's occasionalism it is being sought by science lately and how close to a prescription of reality that is. Al ghazali was a follower of asharism school of thought that was very scientific of that time.
It's amazing the amount of ignorance spread in westerners, most don't bother reading the source material and just repeat what they heard from others. Ervin Ruka: glad to know you're someone who did their own research.

Please do not use the term “racist.” that is to tainted by political interest, a mean desire for power than it is like a swear word hurled in anger.

Dr Arshad is right in his criticism. Let us concentrate on our own spiritual journey & let Allah swt be our judge.

capable of being proved true.... those are some really harsh words and some day you may find thats the only humanity has. But it will take time

Philosophy also relies on assumptions
The concept of a neutral position is absurd. One begins where one begin. No one starts at a total resting place,
11years later. how to say that you not know a thing in philosophy

That’s mere assertion. A disembodied spiritually?Are we not men and women, of flesh and bone?
