Shaikh Muhammad Al-Ghazali was asked, “What is the ruling of the one who left prayer?” He replied, “The ruling is for you to take them along with you to the mosque.” Be a caller, not a judge. I found other sources for this online, but nothing reliable. (for whom the school is named), unlike Imam Ash’ari (whose example Al-Ghazali followed), didn’t really debate a lot with heretics and outsiders so their view is more of a purely distilled. It follows, there’s a lot more to this that you’re missing. The students gave all kind of answers such as our parents, spouse, close friends, our children and etc. A very good response was posted in a discussion on reddit by user ‘wdonovan’. Q1 What is very close to us in this world. Question: When asked "what's the ruling on a Muslim that doesn't pray" did Sheikh Mohammed al-Ghazali reply to the effect of "the ruling is YOU invite him to the masjid"? Once the great Imam Al-Ghazali posed 6 questions to his students as follows. Sheikh Mohammed al-Ghazali al-Saqqa appears to be the sheikh in question, but I'm unsure about the reliability of this quote. It was all al-Ghazali's doing.

Oh, and of course no mention of the Mongol invasions that actually physically destroyed the Bayt al-Hikmah, or of the multiple Crusades that ravaged the region for the next few hundred years.

Question: "What's the ruling on a Muslim that doesn't pray?" Answer: "The ruling is YOU invite him to the masjid!" ~Shk. Entire Arab world worships al-Ghazali till today.

My mother claims that imam Al ghazali memorised the Quran in the womb of his.
