This research examines how Al-Ghazali integrates Sufism and Sharia in the educational system, emphasising the importance of teaching Islamic values, ethics, and manners in daily life. A neurospiritual approach is also used to understand the neurological implications of Al-Ghazali's spiritual education. The results show that Al-Ghazali's thoughts have strong relevance in today's Islamic education, offering deep insights for the development of individual character and morals through spiritual education. These findings are expected to enrich the understanding and practice of a more holistic and scientific Islamic education. In conclusion, Al-Ghazali emphasizes spiritual education as an essential foundation for shaping complete people with noble morals, with a balanced curriculum between religious and worldly knowledge to produce intellectually intelligent and spiritually robust individuals.
