Evolution of Religious Life in al-Ghazali

Abstract

One of the most subjective of all areas of experience is the religious life. In this study I tried to evaluate autobiography of Gazali with the psychological point of view. In the result of the evaluation it was seen that Gazali has a big evaluation throughput his life. Especially his religious life style changed. According to his narrations (From Deviation To The Right Way) his relígious thought changed from “imitation " (taklit) to "knowledge" (ilim) and then from "knowledge" to "enjoyment" (zevk)
