Al-Ghazali
This dramatized documentary film explores the life and impact of Abu Hamid al-Ghazali (d.1111), the greatest spiritual and legal philosopher in Islamic history. Examining his existential crisis of faith that arose from his rejection of formal book based learning in favour of direct experience, it reveals profound parallels with our own times. Ghazali became known as the Proof of Islam and his path of love and spiritual excellence overcame the pitfalls of the religious fanaticism of his day. Early 20th century Muslim reformers largely abandoned his path for the more literalist and less tolerant schools of thought. This film argues that Ghazali's Islam is the antidote for today's terror.
