AHMAD GHAZALI’S PERSONALITY AND SCIENTIFIC HERITAGE

Fotima Nabixonovna Khodjayeva ,

Abstract

This article highlights the personality and scholarly legacy of Ahmad Ghazali, one of the prominent representatives of the Muslim world who left a significant mark in the history of Sufism, and a mystic who wrote equally fluently in both Arabic and Persian. It is stated that several works from Ahmad Ghazali’s scholarly and spiritual legacy have come down to us, and the focus is on analyzing the scholar’s creative work. The main theme of Ahmad Ghazali’s philosophical views is love for God the theme of divine love. In the history of Sufism, this is precisely what sets him apart. He masterfully depicted matters concerning love for God and divine love in his works “Savonih al-‘ushshoq”, “Bahr al-Muhabba”, “Bahr al-Haqiqa”, and others, and the significance of the spiritual legacy he left behind within Eastern philosophical thought is highlighted.
