So much is the academic attention given to him, and deserved so, that it is difficult to find any element of originality in a new study on him. Various aspects of his life and thought have yet to be adequately studied, on of the being his told in Islamic reform (islah). It is also true that the study of islah as a separate optic is somewhat new, and available literature on the subject is limited within views and the achievements oaf a number of distinguished scholars in modern times.
This work attempts to discover part of the rich legacy of the muslihun (Islamic reformers) and to shed some fresh light on the topic of islah as a distinctive Islamic duty by introducing pre-modern scholar as Imam al-Ghazali as an Islamic reformer. It critically looks his reformist teachings namel those formulated in his magnum opus, Ihya Ulum al-Din, and he discusses some of the criticism directed at him.
