Abstract

To shed light on the real belief of Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali about political rulers, the study tried to explore their presence as the Other in Al-Ghazali’ s letters using van Dijk’ s CDA method. After identifying those parts of the text in which he encounters with political rulers as the Other, the tools Al-Ghazali have used for giving a negative presentation of them were introduced. Considering the way he uses these tools, it was discovered that Al-Ghazali's view of political rulers as the Other is about the feature of “ being misguided” and indicates his pity. Therefore, instead of suppressing and combating the Other, Al-Ghazali uses most of his strategies to encourage the Other to change. Among the two groups of “ kings” and “ ministers” , Al-Ghazali usually turns to ministers. His caution and consideration causes the use of techniques which increase the text's interpretability when talking to or about the king. The influence of Al-Ghazali’ s philosophical studies is apparent in his considering the chance of change for the Other, using adverbs of uncertainty and the text’ s high unambiguity.
