Al-Mawardi is known for compiling and systematizing Islamic political and public law in his book Al-Ahkam al-Sultaniyyah, which outlines the ordinances and principles of governance in Islamic states. Al-Farabi focused on philosophy and the ideal state, while Imam Ghazali was a theologian and philosopher, not primarily a compiler of legal ordinances.
