Notes:	We will have the opportunity to note this complexity during our research: It belongs to the fund even of this world of ideas which is called Ghazzall However, the phenomenon does not always appear in an equal way; it varies according to the subjects. The idea of ​​God which forms the beginning of our research finds its natural center in unity, a subject to which the fifth chapter of the fourth book of the Ihya' is devoted and which is easily combined with that of trust in God (tawakkul). For the confession of the unity of God is not only a confession without more, it can also represent a spiritual rank of the highest. Ghazzäli completes four degrees in the confession of the unity of God (1). The first is occupied by those who utter it with their lips only, perhaps to save themselves from the sword. The second is that of ordinary Muslims. It is then a belief, but a belief without enlargement and without expansion, which saves the confessor from punishment in the other world, if he remains faithful to it until his last breath and without being weakened by sin”. In the third are those who recognize only one Agent in the world, from whom everything flows. This way of seeing the unity of God no longer belongs to reason alone; it is the effect of a revelation and represents a state of individual and absolute certainty (al-yalın), that is to say the very essence of this indubitable knowledge that Ghazzali had set out to seek from the start of his career.
