Imam al-Ghazali, titled Hujjat al-Islam (Proof of Islam), wrote Ihya Ulum al-Din (Revival of the Religious Sciences), integrating worship, ethics, and purification of the heart with Shafi'i jurisprudence. His work shaped Sunni spirituality and education for centuries.
Later masters — including Imam al-Nawawi — engaged deeply with his legacy. He represents orthodox Sunni tasawwuf grounded in law and theology.
