Directed by Ovidio Salazar (Abdul Latif Salazar), Al-Ghazali: The Alchemist of Happiness (2004) is a docudrama that chronicles the extraordinary life of Imam Abu Hamid al-Ghazali, the 11th-century Islamic scholar who walked away from fame and prestige to embark on a decade-long spiritual quest.
Combining dramatic re-enactments with reflections from contemporary scholars, this docudrama explores the conflict between intellectual pride and spiritual sincerity, and one man’s journey to transform his heart in pursuit of truth.
This film sets out to discover who Imam al-Ghazali was and whether we, living in the 21st century, can still find relevance in his teaching.
