Abstract

This article analyzes the significance of the work Ihya Ulum al-Din by the great Muslim thinker Abu Hamid Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Ghazali in medieval Islamic thought, his views on understanding the human psyche, and the significance of the work from the perspective of textual scholarship. The article demonstrates that the work provides an in-depth discussion of the human heart, soul, intellect, emotions, and moral states. It also examines al-Ghazali’s use of Qur’anic verses, hadiths, the traditions of the Companions, and the intellectual heritage of Islamic scholars, highlighting their importance in determining the scholarly and source value of the work. The article argues that Ihya Ulum al-Din is not only a religious and ethical work but also an important source for studying human psychology and spiritual life in medieval Muslim society.
