Ghazali's SHOCKING Accusation Against Ibn Sina and Al-Farabi

Ghazali’s Critique and His Accusation of Heresy Welcome to Episode 2 of our compelling five-part series exploring the intellectual clash between Ibn Sina (Avicenna), Al-Farabi, and Imam Ghazali. In this episode, we dive into Ghazali’s powerful critique of the philosophers’ ideas and his shocking accusation of heresy. Imam Ghazali, one of the greatest Islamic scholars, rejected Ibn Sina’s and Al-Farabi’s views on the eternity of the universe, their interpretation of God’s knowledge, and their understanding of resurrection and the afterlife. Through his landmark work, "Tahafut al-Falasifa" (The Incoherence of the Philosophers), Ghazali labeled some of their ideas as heretical, sparking a monumental debate between faith and reason. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why Ghazali accused Ibn Sina and Al-Farabi of heresy (kufr). The three major points of contention: eternity of the universe, God’s knowledge, and bodily resurrection.
