Ghazali�s Ihya �ulum al-din
Renan calls Ghazali "the most original mind among Muslim philosophers". "Philosopher and sceptic as he was by nature," says Claud Field, "Ghazali's chief work was that of a theologian, moralist and mystic, though his mysticism was strongly balanced by common sense." It is a characteristic of Ghazali which appeals to the modern mind in the way in which he expounds the religious argument from probability. He is accepted as an orthodox authority and is considered Hujjat al-Islam (Proof of Islam). It is said that if all the books of Islam were destroyed it would be but a slight loss if only the Ihya' of Ghazali were preserved.
The books that are described below are translations of some of the books of the Ihya'.
