Al-Ghazzali's philosophical thoughts and ideas had a considerable effect on education, and his writings served to introduce logical thinking into Islamic educational thought. The Islamic ideology provided the world, especially in the early days of Islam, with a most powerful source of inspiration. The rich contributions which Islam has made in the various branches of science served as the bases for the development of modern science.
