Remembrance and Prayer: The Way of Prophet Muhammad

HAYKH MUHAMMAD AL-GHAZALI (1335-1416 AH/ 1917-1996 CE) was one of the pioneers of the contemporary Islamic revival. Born in Egypt, he graduated from Al-Azhar University in 1941 and embarked on a career of writing, lecturing, and calling people to Allah. As the author of over fifty books, Shaykh Muhammad Al-Ghazli was a leading authority on Islam throughout his life. For many years he served in the December of Awqaf in Egypt before moving on to teach at Umm al URA University in Makkah. He was also an academic advisor at both Qura University and the Islamic University of Amir Abdul Qadir in Algeria. In his lifetime, Shaykh Muhammad Al-Ghazli lived the ideals of his faith, and his character reflected the close relationship he had established with Allah. On the 19th of Shawwal in 1416 (March 9, 1996) he passed on to the mercy of Allah while on a visit to the Holy Places, and was buried at al-Madinah.
