Tulus

Waktu itu, keilmuannya tak terbanding. Dalam struktur Nizamiyya, al-Ghazali adalah faqih, yang kini barangkali disebut dengan gelar profesor. Tapi kita pun tahu kisahnya lewat al-Munqidh min al-Dalal;

 I reflected on my intention in my public teaching, and I saw that it was not directed purely to God, but rather was instigated and motivated by the quest for fame and widespread prestige. So, I became certain that I was on the brink of a crumbling bank.
  
Dasawarsa berikutnya, ia berkelana; tulus dan luhur mencari Tuhan.
