By Book Buddy

12 June 2026

Did Al-Ghazali safeguard Islamic faith or contribute to the decline of philosophical inquiry in the Muslim world? This video examines his influential work The Incoherence of the Philosophers, focusing on his critique of thinkers such as Ibn Sina and Al-Farabi, particularly his rejection of necessary causality. It explores the theological, philosophical, and intellectual consequences of these ideas and asks whether Al-Ghazali’s legacy strengthened faith, weakened reason, or did both. Watch and judge the debate for yourself.
