Our conference aims to understand how we can extract the teaching and prescriptions for the social/individual issues of Contemporary World from the works of Abu Hamid al-Ghazzali (d. 1111). We are discussing the universal value of Islamic classical thoughts which have been needed for centuries by both Muslims and non-Muslims, especially focusing on the ethical/psychological, and educational (pedagogical) influence on the Contemporary world.
