Abstract
Abstract: the paper describes two text-books written by Abu Hamid Muhammad al-Ghazali (11th–12th centuries) to teach students with different levels of education and mentality: Persian-language source Zad-i akhirat and Arabic-language source Bidayat al-Hidaya. The possibility of using these two sources with minimal adaptation in the process of modern religious education in Islamic Universities and Madrasas is justified in this paper. This would enrich the teaching experience of Muslim teachers. The possibility of usage of another work by al-Ghazali Kimiya-yi sa‘adat is also discussed in this article.
