إن أخانا وشيخنا محمد الغزالي واحد من كبار علماء أمة الإسلام المعاصرين, له من الفضل ما لم يتوفر إلا للقليلين من أترابه, فهو العالم الفقيه الأصولي المحدث الأديب الخطيب, وقد وهبه الله من نعمة الدعوة إليه – جل وعلا – علي بصيرة القدرة التي لم تتوافر إلا للقليلين من دعاة زمانه, وقد طار صيته إلي كل ركن من أركان المعمورة ضمت ولو قلة من المسلمين وآحادا من المؤمنين.
Sheikh Mohammed Al-Ghazali al-Saqqa (1917–1996) (Arabic: محمد الغزالي) was an Islamic scholar whose writings "have influenced generations of Egyptians". The author of 94 books, he attracted a broad following with works that sought to interpret Islam and its holy book, the Qur'an, in a modern light. He is widely credited with contributing to a revival of Islamic faith in Egypt in recent times, and has been called (by Gilles Kepel) "one of the most revered sheikhs in the Muslim world".
Al-Ghazali was born in 1917 in the small town of Nikla al-'Inab (نكلا العنب), southeast of the coastal part of Alexandria, in the Beheira Governorate. He graduated from Al Azhar University in 1941.[6] He taught at the University of Umm al-Qura in Makkah, the University of Qatar, and at al-Amir 'Abd al-Qadir University for Islamic Sciences in Algeria.[7]
