Abstract
The work is devoted to the analysis of Sufi thought in the treatises of Abu Hamid Muhammad al-Ghazali at-Tusi. Al Ghazali’s attitude to Sufi sm as an integral part of Islam was accepted by the Tatar medieval culture. Al-G hazali’s treatises became the basis for theology of many Tatar Islamic thinkers until the 20th century. On the example of the main treatises of al- Ghazali, some Sufi images and symbols are shown, namely the Divine Word, Light, heart, dhikr prayers and sama‘. Symbolism as the basis of Islamic esotericism permeates many of al- Ghazali’s Sufi treatises, so it is important to show the complexity of the continuity of his ideas in the Tatar culture.
