One of the most influential figures in Islamic intellectual history, Imām al-Ghazālī (1058–1111) left his post at the Niẓāmiyya after an epistemological and spiritual crisis at the height of his career and set out in search of truth. The central fruit of that search, the Iḥyāʾ ʿUlūm al-Dīn, aims to take the religious sciences beyond a merely theoretical discipline and turn them into a means of “piety” that transforms the person. Al-Ghazālī’s project is a revolutionary attempt to mend the rupture between sharʿī and rational sciences, to place Sufism at the center of the search for truth, and to restore the disturbed balance of piety.
