Abstract :

The purpose of this study is to investigate the confusion of opportunity in the works of al-Ghazali and to explain its educational implications for the educational authorities. His works and ideas in various fields of Islamic sciences such as jurisprudence, theology and ethics have been left to him in more than seventy compilations. This research has been done by descriptive-analytical method. Referring to the works of Abu Hamed Ghazali, the author studies and reviews those writings of this great thinker about the life, time, and related concepts. While emphasizing the importance of human life, al-Ghazâlî invites his audience to embrace the various opportunities of life that flow in the context of the eternal life, and his overall purpose in these recommendations is to know and obey God, to control one's airs, to serve one and only Lord. Bliss is in the Hereafter. Ghazali considers the exploitation of the opportunities of his life to be the most important in the course of his education, and he has repeated and emphatic advice on the seizure of opportunities, and he does everything he can to save time and waste opportunities.
