Emam Mohammad Ghazali is one of the main thinkers of the World of Islam and two of his books, including “Kimiaye Sa’adat” are the most important books on Islamic ethics and mysticism. The mentioned book covers mystical and ethical thoughts. The ethics considered by Ghazali is based upon religious ethics, which has its roots in Holy Quran. The topic of spirit is one of the most important ethical and mystical topics which Ghazali has studied in his mentioned book. In this study, we elaborate on the issue of spirit in the viewpoint of Ghazali, and we intend to study the roots of his viewpoints. Ghazali was evidently influenced by a number of thinkers and mystical figures such as Avicenna, Abu-Taleb Macci, and Qoshiri. This analytical-descriptive article researches on the views of Ghazali about the spirit in relation to his aforementioned book. Obviously, the study of all of the ideological foundations of an author is not possible. However, research in this regard can relatively reveal the foundation of his ideas and thoughts
