There's a question. Is it true that towards
the end of his life, Imam Al Ghazal
disavowed Ghalam,
as some modern people came?
Only take your knowledge from reliable scholars. Imam
Al Ghazali
regretted
over concern
with Kalam,
not out of remorse. Some of his greatest
theological works were written after
his great spiritual journey. But rather that he
wished he had spent
his time
differently. Not there's no disavowal. And that's why
had he disavowed and said, I
disavow myself from those teachings, his own students
wouldn't have transmitted his books and his books
remain
references in those subjects
in his in mainstream Islamic scholarship.
