al-Ghazali - Makers of the Muslim World

I refer to Ghazali’s works by their original Arabic titles, often in
shortened form; these are listed in the table of abbreviations. In
referring to Ghazali’s masterpiece, the Ihya’ ‘ulum al-din, I have
sometimes referred to it as The Revival and sometimes as the Ihya’.
I’ve tried wherever possible to key my references to existing English
translations (which I’ve occasionally modified); translations without
attribution are my own. Since many Arabic names and terms used
will be unfamiliar to non-specialist readers, I’ve included brief
descriptions of the various political entities and schools of thought
they represent in the introduction.
I would like to thank Professor Patricia Crone for inviting me to
contribute this volume to the series. I am grateful too for her comments
and suggestions which have improved the work throughout.
The anonymous reader for Oneworld offered several criticisms from
which I have benefited and for which I express my thanks. Finally, I
am grateful to Mike Harpley at Oneworld, who has been a most
patient and helpful editor.
