This book studies the interplay of economic philosophy and moral conduct as reflected in the writings of one of the most renowned scholars in Islamic history, Ab? ??mid Mu?ammad ibn Mu?ammad al-Ghaz?l? (d. 1111). As is well known, Im?m al-Ghaz?l?, nicknamed "the proof of Islam", contributed immensely to Islamic theology, philosophy, and Sufism or Islamic mysticism (ta?awwuf). Strikingly enough, al-Ghaz?l? also made seminal contributions to the field of economic thought, but this contribution has been largely neglected, although al-Ghaz?l? dedicated many chapters to what he considered just andShar?'a-based economic conduct in (Muslim) society. This book aims to analyse and revive al-Ghaz?l?'s understudied contribution to economic thought by emphasizing his economic philosophy and its correlation betweenShar?'a'smoral law and the tradition ofta?awwuf, as well as to situate his thought within the context of modern economic theories.
