Скачать или смотреть Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali: How a Medieval Scholar Exposed the Trap of Wealth

In 1095, the most powerful professor in Baghdad walked into his lecture hall—and discovered he could no longer speak. This video tells the story of how Abu Hamid al‑Ghazali went from the top of the medieval Islamic world to walking away from everything: power, money, and fame. Instead of giving you a dry biography, this episode follows the single question that broke him: Am I doing this for God, or for myself?

Along the way, you’ll see why his crisis still matters in an age of status games, hustle culture, and endless accumulation. What does a man who had it all and then deliberately gave it up understand about wealth, ambition, and anxiety that we don’t?

Watch to learn:
How a meteoric rise from obscurity to the “Harvard” of the medieval Muslim world set up a brutal internal collapse.

What Al‑Ghazali discovered about greed, money, and self‑deception when he walked away from the system he’d mastered.

Why his ideas about markets, hoarding, and ethics feel uncannily modern—centuries before economics became a field.

If you’ve ever wondered whether success is actually making you a better person—or just better at lying to yourself—this is one medieval story you don’t want to skip.
