Summary/Abstract: This study discusses about the God imaginations by the works of Islamic jurisprudence. The relationship between faith and action in Islamic Theology had results on Islamic jurisprudence and these have led to negative effects on imaginations about the God. Muslims have failed to see the spiritual and the emotional dimensions of the rituals, so prayer were made turn into a formality. As a result there had no possibility to develop an intimacy with God in fiqh. Ghazzali have tried to overcome with the lack of depth in fiqh, however his success was limited. As a matter of fact Ghazzali, and the fuqaha in general, have referred to the Sufis for the solution. However the mystical movement in Islam have made this crisis deeper. As a result, some important concepts in the Koran and Sunna remained to be neglected by ulama; and they have failed to turn this problem into an opportunity.
