In the 11th century, philosophy was dominated by thinkers like Avicenna and Al-Farabi, who sought to reconcile reason
with faith.
But Imam Ghazali saw a flaw.
He believed excessive reliance on logic led to dangerous conclusions.
His book, 'The Incoherence of the Philosophers,' directly attacked their ideas, arguing that reason alone could not grasp
divine truth.
Ghazali’s most devastating critique was against causality.
Philosophers claimed that fire burns paper because of natural laws.
Ghazali countered: fire burns only because God wills it.
This shattered the rationalist worldview, asserting that divine intervention governs reality.
His argument shook the foundations of Aristotelian thought and forced scholars to rethink their approach to knowledge.
His critiques didn’t just challenge philosophers; they reshaped Islamic theology.
Ghazali’s work led to the decline of rationalist philosophy in the Muslim world and the rise of orthodox
theology.
His influence extended beyond Islam—his ideas even reached Christian and Jewish scholars, shaping medieval thought in ways few
could have predicted.
Despite his critiques, Ghazali wasn’t anti-knowledge.
He believed in reason but within limits.
His work balanced faith and intellect, ensuring that philosophy served religion, not the other way around.
His legacy endures, reminding us that the pursuit of truth requires both reason and revelation.
