An exhibition celebrating al-Ghazali in McLennan Library Building

Abu Hamid al- Ghazali was born in Tus in modern day Iran. al-Ghazali is one of the most significant and prominent (Islamic) thinkers and authors. He was a prolific writer particularly on four main subjects: philosophy, theology, law, and Sufism. His influence resonates even to this day and amongst some of the great Western philosophers of yesterday. The exhibition celebrates the life of al-Ghazali on this, the 900th year since his passing in 1111 A.D. and highlights some of the unique holdings of the Islamic Studies Library as well as McGill’s Rare Books and Special Collections.

The exhibition, housed in McLennan Library Building, is accessible every day within opening hours. Free entrance
