Özet:

Imam al-Ghazali, had a character that does not like imitation and was a professor of Islamic science, philosopher of Great the Great Seljuk State, and a lecturer at mystic and Nizâmiye medreses, entered into an intellectual strike (crisis) at the top of his career called as “disease” and “skepticism” lasting for a few months. Imam al-Ghazali, in this time of crisis which was pushing him to seek the truth, was in a deep suspicion about the reality/trueness of information based on sense and mind/reason. After he regained his health through the “light that Allah threw into his heart”, he began to study in depth and write his work about the thought systems by expressing that the truth-seekers are composed of four groups as such theologians, philosophers, bastards and sûfîs. In the end, the author reached the truth with sufist way and decided to go with this path conceiving that they have the best way to go, the most favourable way of life and the most beatiful morality. The author described this research process in this autobiographical work, which is rare work in this field known as al-Münkızu mine'd-dalâl. The work is as important as the change in Ghazal’s life. Because there are very few biographical and autobiographical works examining the details of social in the Islamic World. The Sufist, who complied with divine commonds and prohibitions, aimed to wih the pleasure of Allah and attached importance to the “state” rather than the “mass”, especially avoided talking about themselves. The works written on this occa-sion were mostly written by his studens and his life stories reached to present day by the terâcim boks and the information written in the memorial books. In this work, focusing on his work, we will examine Ghazzali’s transion from imitation to examination and the great change that had occured in his mind and heart. At the same time, we will also look at the belief and inspirational movements of the Islamic world in the twentieth century and shed light on future.
