Imam Al-Ghazali (peace be upon him) was fondly referred to as the "Hujjat-ul-lslam", Proof of Islam, He is honoured as a scholar and a famous saint by learned men all over the world.
He taught his followers to love and serve Allah, trust in Him and to follow the sunnah of the beloved prophet Muhammad (swallallahu alaihi wasallam). He enjoined them to realise that man can do nothing without the help of Allah & that should not be made an excuse to be lazy and indolent.
Imam Al-Ghazali's life was spent in self-sacrificing service of Allah and his fellowmen. He left behind him a fine example for all men to follow. He wrote many books through all his life. A European researcher has determined 404 books of Imam Ghazali in his book titled Al-Ghazali. One can find information on every field of religion and morality of Islam in Ghazali’s books having a style which everybody can understand.
