00:00:00 --> 00:00:01 
			There's a question. Is it true that towards
00:00:01 --> 00:00:03 
			the end of his life, Imam Al Ghazal
00:00:03 --> 00:00:04 
			disavowed Ghalam,
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08 
			as some modern people came?
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18 
			Only take your knowledge from reliable scholars. Imam
00:00:18 --> 00:00:18 
			Al Ghazali
00:00:19 --> 00:00:19 
			regretted
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23 
			over concern
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24 
			with Kalam,
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26 
			not out of remorse. Some of his greatest
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28 
			theological works were written after
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31 
			his great spiritual journey. But rather that he
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32 
			wished he had spent
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34 
			his time
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38 
			differently. Not there's no disavowal. And that's why
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40 
			had he disavowed and said, I
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43 
			disavow myself from those teachings, his own students
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46 
			wouldn't have transmitted his books and his books
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47 
			remain
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49 
			references in those subjects
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52 
			in his in mainstream Islamic scholarship.
