Aboo Hamid Imam Mohammad Ghazali Toosi is one of the Greatest men of Mysticism in the 5Th Hijri century. In this article we have investigated a number of Ghazali’s views on fertility and related issues. Applying a documentary analysis method, Ghazali’s “Ehya –e- Oloom –e- din” (“Revival of Sciences of Religion”) has been reviewed. The results show his attention and emphasis on fertility and marriage either directly or indirectly. Ghazali has expressed the necessity of family formation and marriage. According to Ghazali, the most important objective of constructing family is reproduction or survival of human kind. He also makes known other consequences and benefits of marriage. In his view, other benefits of marriage are having children, overcoming sexual desire, home management, expanding relatives and making effort to protect women rights. Ghazali has also introduced ‘Azl’ or ‘withdrawal’ as the traditional contraceptive method.

This study examines Ibn Khaldun's demographic ideas. In his book Muqaddimah, Ibn Khaldun addresses various population-related topics including population growth, migration, urbanization, and the impact of geographical and climatic factors on population. Key points of the abstract include: Ibn Khaldun considers the interrelationship between population and socio-economic development. He explores the role of geographical and environmental factors in shaping societies and civilizations. Concepts such as asabiyyah (group feeling) and nomadism are important in Ibn Khaldun's demographic theories. Ibn Khaldun's views on urbanization and its effect on population are examined. His theories about migration and its impact on the demographic structure of societies are analyzed. This article demonstrates that Ibn Khaldun was a pioneer in demographic studies, and many of his theories are still applicable in contemporary demography.
