Kuala Lumpur : Former Malaysian Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad said the `Al-Ghazali The Alchemist of Happiness Documentary’, directed by a British film producer, can become a small step for people to understand the teaching of Islam.
“I do hope by watching this documentary it would bring us greater understanding and happiness in our life.
“This is a different approach in explaining the teaching of Imam Ghazali,” he said after witnessing of the launching of the documentary directed by British film producer Abdul Latif Ovidio Salazar, here Saturday.
Abu Hamid al-Ghazali was one of the world’s most influential scholars and saints.
This documentary is, however, not about the intricacies of Islamic law and jurisprudence, nor is it a detailed biography of all aspects of al-Ghazali’s life.
