Al-Ghazali: Religious Scholar, Legalist, Sufi, and Critic of Philosophy

Al-Ghazali whose full name is Abu Hamid Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Ghazali is an important person among Sunni Muslim philosophers, theologians, law scholars and mystics. Historians are born in Tabaran-Tus in 1058 or 1059; Hydra is 15 miles north of Meshed in Northeast Iran. However, his personal letter and autobiography argued that his birthday is approximately 1055 or 1056 (Griffel 2009, 23-25). Despite this contradiction, Al - Ghazali was active during the intense debate between Sunni theology and Shiite Islamic theology, and Arabs' Folsaf tradition.

Many Muslim scholars use knowledge as a goal of life. Perhaps the most famous scholar would be Al-Ghazali, a Sufi Muslim who completely transformed the early Muslim philosophy from the 11th century to the 12th century by being called a mystery of Greek philosophy. "Or" religious explanation. At the time of writing by Al-Ghazali, Muslim philosophers are reading articles about thought of ancient Greece, but these ideas are generally thought to be incompatible with the teachings of Islam. Al-Ghazali helps synthesize these elements by using Aristotle's logic and Neoplatonic's method to mitigate the adverse effects of excessive Islamic rationality.

Muhammad Ghazali is recognized as one of the world's Islamic history elite scholars. His life was devoted to philosophy, and his work affected many people. His law, theology, the theory of mysticism are always his benchmark. Al Ghazali was educated at home Tus and his brother Ahmad, then became a famous missionary and Sufi scholar (http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/al-ghazali/). Inspired by the work of Farahsius, he wrote a book on the contradiction of philosophers. Attacking on his wonderful Aristotle philosophy is his best job. Al Ghazali explained his work in "contradiction of philosophy" as a major movement against all other philosophers. He does this by showing 'empirical evidence' superior to theological knowledge. In addition, his work on Falassius' teachings was criticized in 20 stages.

The largest and most influential voice of Ash'arites was the medieval theologian Abu Hamid al-Ghazali (aka Algazel, who died in 1111). Al Ghazali accused philosophy and philosophers in his book "Philosopher's Contradiction" - Greek philosopher himself and his followers in the Muslim world (eg Fabrabi and Avicenna). Al-Ghazali is afraid to make Muslims non-religious, as people believe philosophers about religious issues as they are influenced by philosophical arguments. Sunnis believes that Al Ghazzari is the victor of the debate with Hellenistic rationalists, independent investigation becomes a polluted enterprise, and occasionally the opposition to philosophy has gradually become severe until the extent of crime. (In the Sunni world, philosophy is becoming mysticism.) However, along with the collapse of controversy, the contribution of the Arabs to science is becoming more and more subdivided.
