After authoring "Maqasid al-Falasifa" (The Aims of the Philosophers), in which he explained the views of philosophers, particularly Ibn Sina and al-Farabi, al-Ghazali wrote this book, "Tahafut al-Falasifa" (The Incoherence of the Philosophers). In it, he clarifies twenty issues where the disagreement between Islamic creed and philosophy is not merely semantic but leads to heresy or disbelief. These issues include the eternity of the world, proofs for God's existence, His knowledge of particulars, the possibility of miracles, the mortality of the human soul, and the resurrection of bodies. Scholars have regarded this book as a decisive blow to the hubris of philosophers who claimed to attain ultimate truth in metaphysical matters through reason alone. It stands as a monumental philosophical work from the pen of Hujjat al-Islam (the Proof of Islam), al-Ghazali.
