ences (ethics, etc.) and the theoretical sciences (mostly metaphysics) in philosophical 

literature; see Gil ¶adi, “On the Origin of Two Key-Terms in al-G

Abrahamov, “Ibn Sı¯na¯’s Infl uence on al-Ghaza¯lı¯’s Non-Philosophical Works,” 1–2, gives 

a report about the secondary literature on philosophical works that have been adapted 

in the   Ih.ya¯ 7  . In his article he adds fi ndings from the works of Ibn Sı¯na¯. On the disputed 

question of when al-Ra¯ghib al-Is.faha¯nı¯ lived, see Everett K. Rowson in  EI2 ,  8:389b.

  208.  Al-Ghaza¯lı¯ congratulates Mujı¯r al-Dı¯n (cf. n.133) for his nomination as 

Sanjar’s vizier in 490/1097. This letter mentions al-Ghaza¯lı¯’s “happy affection due to 

being close to the place of visitation.” That refers most probably to the pilgrimage site 

of Meshed in T.u¯s (al-Ghaza¯lı¯,  Faz

.

a¯   7il al-ana¯m , 52; Krawulsky,  Briefe und Reden , 147). It 

certainly does not refer to Baghdad.

211.  ¶


Abd al-Gha¯fi r (in al-Subkı¯,  T.abaqa¯t ,  6:210.4–5)  confi rms the existence of these 

institutions at the time when al-Ghaza¯lı¯ gave up teaching in Nishapur. Referring to the 

earlier period when al-Ghaza¯lı¯ was still teaching at Nishapur, however, the collector of 

the letters says that he had students in T.u¯s and stayed there in a  kha¯nqa¯h   (al-Ghaza¯lı¯,  



Faz

.

a¯   7il al-ana¯m , 12.15). It is most likely that these institutions were founded when al-

Ghaza¯lı¯ returned from Baghdad.

  213. Ibn al-Jawzı¯,  al-Muntaz.am , 9:170.10–11.  ¶Abd al-Gha¯fi r al-Fa¯risı¯ dates the crea-

tion of the  madrasa  and  kha¯nqa¯h  after the end of al-Ghaza¯lı¯’s teaching at Nishapur (al-

Subkı¯,  T.abaqa¯t , 6:210.4–5). The letters confi rm that they existed earlier.

  218.  In his  Munqidh , 49.17–20, al-Ghaza¯lı¯ mentions the two events and says that 

the period of seclusion (  ¶uzla ) amounted to eleven years. The “twelve years” may be the 

result of a confusion with a period of that length mentioned in a different letter a few 

pages earlier in the collection  Faz

  232.  Muh.ammad ibn Abı¯ l-Faraj al-Ma¯zarı¯, who was known as “al-Dhakı¯” (“the 

clever one”); on him, see Charles Pellat in  EI2,  6:943; Garden,  Al-Ghaza¯lı¯ ’ s Contested 



Revival , 114–17; Krawulsky,  Briefe und Reden , 15–16; Ibn al-Jawzı¯,  al-Muntaz.am ,  9:190; 

al-Dabba¯gh/al-Na¯jı¯,  Ma  ¶a¯lim al-ı¯ma¯n , 3:202–3. He should not be confused with his 

younger contemporary Abu

¯  ¶Abdalla¯h Muh.ammad ibn  ¶Alı¯ al-Ma¯zarı¯ (d. 536/1141), who 

was surnamed “al-Ima¯m.” This latter al-Ma¯zarı¯ never left the Maghrib and was a much 

more respectable scholar than the former. (On him, see  GAL, Suppl.  1:663; Charles Pel-

lat in  EI2,  6:943, and the sources listed there.) Both al-Ma¯zarı¯s were highly critical of 

al-Ghaza¯lı¯, and al-Ma¯zarı¯ al-Ima¯m wrote a critique of al-Ghaza¯lı¯’s   Ih.ya¯ 7   with the title 

 al-Kashf wa-l-inba¯  7  ¶ala¯ l-mutarjam bi-l- Ih.ya¯ 7  .  (For  the  identifi cation of the author, see al-

Dhahabı¯,  Siyar , 19:330, 340.) Passages from that book are preserved in al-Dhahabı¯,  Siyar , 

19:330–32, 340–42; al-Subkı¯,  T.abaqa¯t , 6:240–58; and Ibn Taymiyya, “Sharh. al- ¶aqı¯da al-

is.faha¯niyya,” 116–19. See also the information on al-Ma¯zarı¯ al-Ima¯m’s book collected in 

al-Za¯bidı¯,  Ith.a¯f al-sa¯da , 1:28–29; 179.21–24; 2:411.20–23; 9:442.17–27. The latter passages

silent about whether he held an offi ce there; see  ¶Abd al-Gha¯fi r al-Fa¯risı¯,  al-Siya¯q , in Frye, 

 The Histories of Nishapur , text 2, fol. 29b–30a; Ibn  ¶Asa¯kir,  Tabyı¯n kadhib al-muftarı¯ ,  307;

and the reproduction of a water painting by the Armenian-Iranian artist André Sevru-

guin ( also: Sevrugian, 1894–1996) of the ruins of a large mausoleum in T.u¯s that Diez 

claimed is the mausoleum of al-Ghaza¯lı¯. This picture depicts a mausoleum in the midst 

of T.a¯bara¯n’s ruins, which is known as the  Ha¯ru¯niyya . For a recent picture of the recon-

structed building, see Elton L. Daniel’s preface to Field’s translation of  The Alchemy of

Happiness , xl. Local usage mistakenly regards it as the tomb of Ha¯ru¯n al-Rashı¯d, who is, 

however, buried at the site of   ¶Alı¯ al-Rid.a¯ in Meshed. There is also a second mausoleum 

within the former city walls of T.a¯bara¯n, which is the one of Firdawsı¯ (d. 411/1020). Niz.a¯mı¯ 

 ¶Aru


¯d.ı¯,  Chaha¯r Maqa¯la , 51, says that Firdawsı¯ was buried in T.a¯bara¯n “outside the 

gates in a garden.” What is today known as Firdawsı¯’s tomb (which is distinct from 

the  Ha¯ru¯niyya ) has been lavishly rebuilt in a monumental and modern style during 

the Pahlevi period. On the various monuments in the vicinity of Meshed, see also 

Hakami,  Pèlerinage de l ’ Emâm Rezâ , 64ff. In 1918, Donaldson, “A Visit to the Grave of al-

Ghazzali,” reports he found a tombstone in the ruins of T.u¯s that bore al-Ghaza¯lı¯’s name 

and had been reused in 1007/1598–99 to mark another grave.

by the name of H

known, and their list of kings has lots of lacunae. Cf. Minorsky,  A History of Sharva¯n and

dearth of information about his background give the impression that this person only 

pretended to be a decendent of al-Ghaza¯lı¯. If true, his geneology would imply that al-

Ghaza¯lı¯ had both a son and a grandson by the name of Muh.ammad.

a (voluntary) alms-tax ( zaka¯t ) levied on the property ( nis.a¯b ) of [conducting a pious life] 

due to other people’s preaching ( itti ¶a¯z. ), and how can someone who does not have this 

property pay the tax?” 

  

6. Al-Ghaza¯lı¯,   Ih.ya¯ 7  , 1:24.1–4 / 23.6–9. 



   7. At the beginning of al-Ghaza¯lı¯,  al-Luba¯b min al-Ihya¯  7 , 2.11–14 (1978 edition: 

25.5–6), it says: “It had occurred to me during one of my journeys that I extract from 

my book  The Revival of the Religious Sciences  its kernels.” These words are a clear refer-

ence to Muh.ammad as its author, and he is identifi ed as such in the title. In fact, none 

of the MSS I saw ascribes the book to Ah.mad. MS Berlin, Wetzstein 99 (Ahlwardt 

no. 1708), and MSS Princeton, Yahuda 838 and 3717 (Mach no. 2164), attribute the text 

to Muh.ammad. The text of  al-Luba¯b min al-Ihya¯ 7  appears to be identical to the one in 

 al-Murshid al-amı¯n ila¯ maw ¶iz.at al-mu  7minı¯n min  Ih.ya¯   ¶ulu¯m al-dı¯n , a book ascribed to 

Muh.ammad al-Ghaza¯lı¯. Brockelmann’s identifi cation of Ah.mad as the  Luba¯b ’s  au-

thor ( GAL , 1:422;  Suppl . 1:748) follows Ahlwardt,  Handschriften-Verzeichnisse ,  2:313,  and 

seems to be based entirely on H

. a¯jjı¯ Khalı¯fa,  Kashf al-z.unu¯n , 1:182–83. On the text, see 

also Bouyges,  Essay de chronologie ,  135–36;  Badawı¯,  Mu  7allafa¯t , 114; and Lumbard,  Ah.mad 

al-Ghaza¯lı¯ , 122. There also exists a different and shorter excerpt from the   Ih.ya¯ 7   with  the 

title  Lubb al- Ih.ya¯ 7   that was authored by neither Ah.mad nor Muh.ammad. For this text, 

see MS Yale University, Beinecke Library, Salisbury 38, foll. 1–45b (Nemoy 797), and MS 

Berlin, Wetzstein II 1807, foll. 120–46b. (Ahlwardt 1707).

  9. One of Ah.mad al-Ghaza¯lı¯’s best-known Persian works, the  Ra¯z-na¯mah   or 

 Risa¯lah-yi  ¶Ayniyyah,  is believed to be originally a letter to  ¶Ayn al-Qud.a¯t al-H.amadha¯nı¯. 

The text is in  Majmu¯  ¶ah-yi a¯s-a¯r-i fa¯risı¯-yi Ah.mad Ghazza¯lı¯ ,  175–214.

the two took place in 486/1093, that is, soon after the arrival of the Ibn al- ¶Arabı¯s in
