Al-Ghazall, who lived from 450/1058 to 505/1111, was the most distinguished theologian of the classic al age of Islamic thought. There is, therefore, no need to offer fur ther justification of a fresh translation of one of his works. A number of his works have already appeared in an Eng lish rendering by such scholars as Nabih Amin Faris, W. Montgomery Watt and Sabih Ahmad Kamali (see Appendix IV). The Just Balance has hitherto been available only to Western students of Islam in a French translation, that of Chelhot (see below). My intention in providing this trans lation is to illuminate the debate between the orthodox (or Sunni) position and that occupied by a group loosely term ed the Ismä'llls.¹ Al-Ghazall's style is polemical-his argu ment comes through very clearly and shows the use he made of philosophical methods. He was also capable of writing what could be termed "pastoral theology," as in his Revival of the Religious Sciences, of engaging in debate with the philosophers of Islam, or of discussing philosophi cal methods. As is well known, he was also an important writer on mysticism (Şüfism). The Just Balance thus repre sents one facet of his writing, dealing with a particular historical situation. On reading his autobiography and on becoming more aware of the movements of his time we can see how important to him were the issues raised in this work, as the Introduction attempts to show.
