Al-Ghazali wrote most of his works in Arabic, Arabs have lived in Tus after the Arab conquest of Persia ca 650 CE, his name is Arabic too. he could have been of Arabic origin as much as of Persian origin. we are only sure that he was Muslim and lived in the Abbasid Caliphate therefor he should be described as Abbasid and Muslim in the same way as describing Caesar as roman. describing any person who lived after 650 CE as merely Persian would be misleading as Persia was no more after that date. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.252.103.34 ( talk) 03:22, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello,
that's not what I read in that book where al-Ghazali says that most falasifa, even if they call themselves muslims, are infidels.

Isn't this the same Imam who was referred to by Neil DeGrasse Tyson in his YouTube video, "The Islamic Golden Age: Naming Rights"? FFI, see URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDAT98eEN5Q (In particular, see 5:00 and/or 6:40 into the recording.) If yes, then his role in the downfall of Islamic/Arabic scientific studies and investigation need to be addressed in the article. LP-mn ( talk) 17:24, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi can someone add his tile back on and remove this random picture of what could be anyone. https://www.google.com/search?q=al+ghazali+name&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwidy4bOt8H-AhV5nycCHbW0A-sQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=al+ghazali+name&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQAzIGCAAQCBAeMgcIABAYEIAEMgcIABAYEIAEOgQIABAeUKoFWLcIYIoLaABwAHgAgAGHAYgBnwSSAQMyLjOYAQCgAQGqAQtnd3Mtd2l6LWltZ8ABAQ&sclient=img&ei=feRFZN2YNfm-nsEPtemO2A4#imgrc=51gi-QO1FOjT_M
It looked much better like this and more accurate. We do not know what Ghazali looked like

This section should be removed. Al-Ghazali did not work--could not have worked--on quantum mechanics and his works did not inform those who did work on it. At least no source is provided to suggest that it did. All we have is a quote from an article that constructs a (very strained) ex-post analogy between one of Al-Ghazali's ideas and the Copenhagen interpretation. VecLuci ( talk) 09:56, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
The quote below should be edited. See proposed efits below. "It was during this period where many of his great works were written. He believed that the Islamic spiritual tradition had become moribund and that the spiritual sciences taught by the first generation of Muslims had been forgotten. This belief led him to write his magnum opus entitled Iḥyā’ ‘ulūm ad-dīn ("The Revival of the Religious Sciences")" 1. It was during this time where many of his great non-scientic/religious works were a ritte." 4. It should end with: "modern day scientist are critical of this transition phase, as it led to the downfall of math and science in Arab and Muslim world." (Citation uzomad. (2012, March 19). Neil DeGrasse Tyson - The Islamic Golden Age: Naming Rights [Video]. YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDAT98eEN5Q) The reason for this requested edit is to highlight both the positive and negative consequences of Sri Eggg ( talk) 22:51, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
sentence doesn't make sense with plurals/singulars:
He is known as one of the most prominent and influential jurisconsult, legal theoretician, mufti, philosopher, theologian, logician and mystic in Islamic history.
you cant be "one of the most prominent [...] philosopher" etc. 2A00:23C8:2506:CA01:AD0F:60BB:2DC9:21CD ( talk) 14:22, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
