Al-Ghazali and the revival of religion

Al-Ghazali (1058–1111) was an Islamic theologian and philosopher who reconciled rational inquiry with spiritual experience, arguing that intellect alone cannot access divine truth without direct encounter and transformation. His work shaped centuries of Islamic thought by showing that rigorous thinking and mystical devotion need not conflict—a tension he resolved through lived practice, not theory.
