In this well-done documentary, Ovidio Salazar, also as a producer and a director, is inviting us to follow him in his discovery of the imam Al Ghazali (1058 — 1111), one of the most influential scholars in the whole Islamic history. The chosen documentary title is certainly inspired by The Alchemy of Hapiness (you can read it in arabic by clicking here كيمياء السعادة)
which is one of the must known books of Al imam Al Ghazali. In this documentary, we can hear testimonials from a couple of lecturers, scientists and doctors from East and West, such as Dr Winter, from Cambridge University, Dr Sayyid from George Washington University and Sheikh Yusuf Hamza, from Azeituna Institute. All of them underline the fact that Al Ghazali has left behind him a huge islamic heritage with a large impact kept up to now in too many areas of knowledge such as theology, philosophy, sufism and much more.m
