Summary/Abstract: Considering this topic to be a useful and necessary material for thought, we shall in this paper address the mutual relations of people in the way of the acquisition of science. The main characters and concepts that may be encountered in this field are teachers, under which term we include all the persons with the knowledge - and students, which includes all persons who receive knowledge. The third important link that connects them is science. To be more specific, we will talk about qualities and virtues of persons associated with the science. We aim to introduce these themes through the eyes of a scholar from the golden age of science in the Islamic world. Also, we would like to point out the lasting values from this period, and why is al-Ghazzali, "read" and "interpreted" for almost an entire millennium. More specifically, this year marks the nine-hundred year (900) anniversary of the death of this prolific scholar (died 1111). The paper gives an overview of the pedagogical methods that Ghazali wrote in the form of 'conditions for success' offered to both students and teachers (teachers, professors and lecturers). Science is what binds students and teachers and it is a link which lifts them morally and scientifically.
