Imam Abu Hamid Muhammad al-Ghazali, one of the greatest scholars in Islamic history, passed away in 505 AH (1111 CE) in Tus, his birthplace in present-day Iran. He was a towering figure in Islamic theology, philosophy, jurisprudence, and Sufism. His most famous work, Ihya Ulum al-Din (The Revival of Religious Sciences), remains one of the most widely studied texts in Islamic scholarship.
Imam Ghazali (1058–1111 CE) was born in Tus, Khorasan, and studied under the renowned scholar Imam al-Haramayn al-Juwayni. He served as a professor at the Nizamiyya Madrasa in Baghdad before experiencing a spiritual crisis that led him to abandon his prestigious position and embrace Sufism. He is known by the honorific title Hujjat al-Islam (Proof of Islam) for his monumental contributions to defending and systematizing Islamic orthodoxy.
