Al-Munqidh min ad-Dalal (Deliverance from Error)

المنقذ من الضلال

Al-Ghazali's spiritual autobiography recounting his intellectual crisis and the journey that led him from the heights of academic fame through radical skepticism to eventual spiritual certainty through Sufism. Often compared to Augustine's Confessions, this work describes al-Ghazali's engagement with theology, philosophy, Ismailism, and Sufism, and his conclusion that experiential knowledge of God transcends rational argumentation.
