Shaykh Muhammad al-Ghazäli (1917—1996) was a scholar of prodigious energy and intellect, leaving behind a written legacy of over seventy books, ranging from erudite commentaries on the teachings of Islam and their application in the modern world to spiritual works enjoining personal conviction and practice. A1-Ghazäli’s works have been translated into several languages, many of which are still in wide circulation across the Islamic world and in the West. Aslam Farouk-Alli holds an M.Soc.Sci. Degree in Religious Studies from the University of Cape Town (UCT), South Africa, and an MA in Arabic from the University of South Africa (UNISA).

This modern study on bid’ah, or heretical innovation, critically explores the boundaries of normative Islam and outlines the legality of debate surrounding the subject. It also examines the foreign elements in Islam thought, focusing on practices, as well as some beliefs, acts of worship and customary practices pertaining to religious expression. It emphasizes the importance of embracing normative Islamic practice, even if one has to “walk the solitary path” as a result. Muhammad al-Ghazäli argues for a ‘Sufi core’ in the reformist tradition, but one that has been stripped of the foreign accretions that have corrupted many Sufi movements. Like Ibn Taymiyyah, he advocates at-Tassawuf as-Sunni, a regime of Islamic spirituality and aesthetics based on the teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah.
