About The Book
al-Iqtisad fi al-Itiqad is Imam al-Ghazali's foundational treatise on Sunni Ashari kalam, composed in his early period before his celebrated spiritual crisis. The work presents the divine attributes, the rationality of belief, the relation of revelation and reason, and the doctrinal positions of the Ahl al-Sunna on the major theological controversies of the fifth Islamic century. The title — the 'balanced approach' to belief — captures al-Ghazali's distinctive methodological commitment: to rationality without overreach, to revelation without obscurantism.
About The Author
Imam Abu Hamid Muhammad b. Muhammad al-Ghazali (450-505 AH / 1058-1111 CE), Hujjat al-Islam (the Proof of Islam), is among the most influential thinkers in the history of Islam. Born in Tus in Khurasan, he studied under al-Juwayni at Nishapur and rose to teach at the Nizamiyya college in Baghdad before withdrawing into a long spiritual retreat from which he emerged with Ihya Ulum al-Din. His combination of mastery in fiqh, kalam, falsafa, and tasawwuf — and his willingness to subject each to scrutiny in the light of revealed knowledge — set the pattern for later Sunni intellectual life.

About the Contributor(s)
About the author
al-Ghazali: Abu Hamid Muhammad al-Ghazali (450-505 AH / 1058-1111 CE) was born in Tus, in the Khorasan region of Persia, and is remembered as one of Islam's most influential thinkers. Losing his father young, he studied at Nishapur and was appointed, while still in his thirties, to the prestigious Nizamiyya college in Baghdad. He was Shafiʿi in law and Ashʿari in creed, and his contemporaries honored him as Hujjat al-Islam, the Proof of Islam. At the height of his fame al-Ghazali passed through a profound spiritual crisis, recounted in his autobiography al-Munqidh min al-Dalal (Deliverance from Error). He abandoned his teaching post, traveled, and devoted years to the inward discipline of the Sufis before returning to instruction with a renewed purpose. His landmark work, Ihyaʾ ʿUlum al-Din (The Revival of the Religious Sciences), reconstructs the religious life across four parts, acts of worship, social custom, the vices that ruin the soul, and the virtues that save it. In philosophy he wrote Tahafut al-Falasifa (The Incoherence of the Philosophers), a careful critique of the Hellenistic thinkers of his age. Bridging law, theology, philosophy, and mysticism, al-Ghazali shaped the direction of Sunni thought for centuries, and his books remain widely read and translated. His many works are available here in English translation.
About the editor
Anas b. Muhammad Adnan al-Sharafawi: Anas b. Muhammad Adnan al-Sharafawi is a contemporary Damascene scholar and muhaqqiq (verifier and editor of classical texts) whose work centers on the disciplines of creed, logic, and Sufism. He teaches within the Ash'ari tradition in theology, giving lessons on 'aqida and logic, among them al-Bayjuri's celebrated gloss on the Jawharat al-Tawhid, and he is active in transmitting these foundational sciences to students. He has prepared more than fifty critical editions, the bulk of them for Dar al-Taqwa in Damascus and several flagship titles for Dar al-Minhaj, the Jeddah and Beirut house known for high-quality editions of Shafi'i and Ash'ari texts. For Dar al-Minhaj he edited al-Qushayri's al-Risala al-Qushayriyya, the most widely circulated classical manual of Sufism, and Imam al-Ghazali's al-Iqtisad fi al-I'tiqad, a key statement of Ash'ari theology. His other verified editions include al-Sanusi's Umm al-Barahin (al-'Aqida al-Sughra), al-Bayhaqi's al-I'tiqad wa al-Hidaya ila Sabil al-Rashad, and Ibn 'Abbad's commentary on the Hikam of Ibn 'Ata' Allah. His editions are appreciated for careful collation of manuscripts and a clear, accessible layout that serves both seminary students and general readers approaching the classical literature of theology and the spiritual path.
