Imam Al-Ghazali and Buya Hamka have similarities in their thoughts about the nature of morals, namely that they both prioritize good morals with an emphasis on human efforts to achieve moral perfection consisting of four types, namely hikmah, syajaah, 'iffah and 'adl. The difference in the moral thinking of these two figures can be seen from the background of their thinking. Imam Al-Ghazali's thoughts about morals are the result of the emergence of human life, at that time worldly life came first while life in the afterlife came second. Meanwhile, Buya Hamka's thoughts live in modern times, which coincides with the period of colonialism and Indonesian independence.
