Description : 

The fundamental doctrines that make up the Islamic belief have been documented in creedal texts. One that is considered to capture the sound expression of Islamic belief is that written by Islam’s most eminent scholar, Abu Ḥāmid al-Ghazali. may Allah be pleased with him (d. 505/1111).

Its simplicity has made it an appealing text to teach and learn since it was written. One commentary of the text, relatively unknown among English readership is that of the 15th century CE Shadhili Sufi reformer of Morocco Sidi Ahmad Zarruq (d. 899/1493) entitled Ightinam al-Fawa’id fi Sharh Qawaʿid al-ʿAqa’id. Its descriptive lucidity and simplicity make it an ideal commentary for readers seeking familiarity with the major terms, ideas and arguments of orthodox Sunni Islamic doctrine.
 

Imam Abu Hamid al-Ghazali (d. 505/1111).

Imam al-Ghazali, may Allah be pleased with him, has been described by some scholars as the greatest Muslim in Islamic history. His prolific works, written over the duration of his relatively short lifetime, have deeply influenced Islamic thought for nearly a thousand years. 

Al-Ghazali was a polymath who had mastered every discipline known to the scholars of his time. In many ways, his corpus of writings on law, theology, philosophy, and Islamic spirituality, represent the most influential understanding of the Islamic religion ever articulated.
